SEO - advanced lessons

Hi!

Does anyone have the experience and tips on where to turn for online lessons regarding advanced SEO. I was first thinking about SEO my website using UpCity-lessons. What's your experience about a damn good SEO-course where you learned a lot? ;-)

Have a sweeeeet day! :-D

/Emil

Althrought I haven't tried any online course for SEO (except treehouse), I can give you some tips for advanced SEO tips.

Here we go:

1.Submit your site's URL to dmog.org It's an "index site" that Google really trusts and if you get submited, you'll get more traffic. (To submit, chose the category THAT BEST DESCRIBES YOUR WEBSITE, its really important, then click "submit URL" in the upper right corner and fill up the form. Because volunteers are checking the site submissions, it may take from 2 weeks, or to 2 months to get submitted there, dont rely just on dmog.org) 2.Improve ANYTHING on your website that doesn't really make you feel comfortable with. Design is a really important aspect for anything, and any good-looking website will make your visitors feel comfortable with and it will reduce your bounce rate (you can take the "Aesthetic Foundations" course if you haven't done arleady.) 3. Fix any HTML/CSS problems in your code You can use the HTML/CSS code validator by W3C (http://validator.w3.org/ for HTML - http://jigsaw.w3.org/cs for CSS). If you have any questions about the problems that the validator will find you can post another topic in the forum. 4.BACKLINKING! If your website was recently created (4-5 moths le'ts say), you can't have grown any big audience and it's normal. Try backlinking with websites with higher alexa rankings (alexa.com) so as to get a better "rank" from search engines. You can also make a banner and an RSS feed and exchange them with other blogs/site (if your website isn't for professional use).

Hope I helped!
