Having unique, compelling and useful content, products or services doesn’t guarantee success in the Internet. Even if you have all that but don’t have anyone (visitors/traffic) to see or use it, then all of it becomes worthless or useless. Unless you’re a celebrity or own a popular brand, having a social media presence won’t even be enough to bring in more traffic.
To attract visitors and traffic to your website, you can put up advertisements online or use SEO (search engine optimization). Advertisements cost money while SEO on the other hand is a bit cheaper and even free if you know how to do it. If you’re using WordPress as the publishing platform or CMS for your website, online business, etc. and would like to learn how use search engine optimization, then you can try out WebDesy’s SEO Crash Course for WordPress Users.

Although I already know SEO and have learned most of the topics covered in this training course before watching it, I was still able to better understand some aspects of SEO like How to Do Keyword Research, Using Synonyms and On-Page SEO vs Off-Page SEO. This video training course was designed for levels or expertise so it doesn’t matter if you’re new or haven’t done SEO before or not. The only thing you need to know is how to use WordPress and you’re good to go!
The videos were produced in such a way that they are straightforward and easy to understand, so you don’t have to worry if you’ve never had any prior experience in SEO. The SEO Crash Course also helps beginners to learn and deal with advanced SEO stuff with the help of the right and best WordPress plugins available like the WordPress SEO by Yoast which is probably the most reliable and most recommended plugin right now when it comes to optimizing a WordPress site for SEO, as well as other very important aspects such as implementing sitemaps and setting up Google Authorship. Another thing I like about this course is that it only tackles and covers the topics that you need so you won’t be wasting time learning stuff that is not important.
