It was nice to hear some basics, but it was a lot of subjective information, didn't feel like I was learning as much as I was being sold. However, again, there were some decent basics sprinkled through out. Also, the instructor videos were not super engaging, how scripted they were was very obvious

There were a few topics that i felt were not totally relevant to the purpose of this course- the history of the internet especially . The whole course was also too theoretical . I think it can be modified to better . Overally, I enjoyed this learning and I hope to continue the process .

The course was informative and useful for a person who wanted a solid foundation for SEO. I was able to learn about SEO by knowing different changes that were made by Google from the start to now. Most importantly, I learned a lot about content creation specifically topic association.

A lot of history and theory without a single practical example. Like how to do keyword analysis. Just theory and links to sources. If i had to follow historical links to other websites, then why should i take this course for. But in General was a good start to theory of SEO

There is a lot of WHAT to do but not HOW to do it. It's way too general. Hopefully the next one will be better. Also, it's kind of boring since there are no animations, instructors make mistakes in speach all the time... It just doesn't make me focused and eager to learn.

The video content was great. I learned a lot about the SEO and how numerous factors affected the visibility of a website. But in my humble opinion, the reading material was more like an aggregate of different articles that I could have found online through my research.

One of the issues I have with this is that it doesn't seem to have been updated since 2018. The links are up to 2018, but between then and 2020, there must be things that must have changed.

The course quizzes for me were moderate to moderately high level of difficulty.

It really gives you an insight into the world of SEO and the best practices involved. Before signing up for the course, I had zero knowledge about the search engine and keyword optimization, but this course really helped me enhance my knowledge.

This was a decent, high-level course. Videos are informative. The user interface for questions was frequently intrusive, clunky, and poorly formatted. Questions were obtuse. Reading material is interesting. Modules two and four are somewhat repetitive.

There are some words that are technical and I think the course should provide a glossary at the end of the course or provide in the videos. Sometimes, the sound is not consistent so it is rather uncomfortable to focus on the videos. Keep up your good work!

The course didn't provide many specific SEO tactics which I expected and too much focus was on history of search engines. Also, the questions in the quizzes were mostly focused on some very specific details rather than understanding the topic in general.

I personally think it would have been better if more educational content was covered in the videos. Most of the important content was given to us in readings rather than being covered in videos. other than that its a great introductory course!

While this course was full of interesting information, it was a front loaded with much useless information...interesting nonetheless. I, however would prefer a course that jumps a bit faster to the so called nitty-gritty. Overall, good stuff!

It was insightful but as a beginner SEO student, I lost track or simply got bored. SEO is an exciting industry to be in, there wasn't much excitement however I learned enough to know that SEO might not be for me.

I think it would be nice if the course could be more practical with more examples. This was mainly about the theory in general and not about the practical skills at all, but thank you for the knowledge anyway!

The course structure should be improved. This introductory course is not really for SEO beginners, but for those who already have some experience and want to gain inspiration for their career development.

Student should be able to see results of test ( at least quiz 1 and 2) before we decide to purchase. Overall the course was easy to understand and follow. I look forward to taking to others in the series.

If you are marketer, this could fit you somehow. If you want concrete body of knowledge, I don't think the course will please you. SEO topic is subjective and somehow could frustrate the technical folks

I dont feel confident that I can increase my website's ranking after this class. The info was very basic and geared toward what is looked for in a SEO career track. Not very pertinent to my situation.

The lessons are great and the teacher explains in simple and good way the concepts. However, in my opinion there to many facts and history rather that strategies and theories on how to work with SEO.

Felt that the first week, how to get a job in SEO should be the last module. Unsure the value it has when you don't even know SEO at the level one would need in order to get a job in SEO.

While it had some good content, it was difficult to get past a lot of the grammar and spelling errors. Also, sharing Wikipedia pages as informational text in a course is a huge turn off.

Very informative, however a bit too detailed on the history of previous search engines and past Google updates. Could've done with a bit less history and more up to date information.

The course provides great resources, but it seems to lack moderators. I finished the course and I have yet to get any feedback from the hosts and students rarely interact.

Ver basic knowledge and more so theory than strategy. Coursera needs to start teaching strategy with little theory so that people understand strategy and can implement.
