Look how old this is! I post at SearchCommander.com now, and this post was published 16 years 7 months ago. This industry changes FAST, so blindly following the advice here *may not* be a good idea! If you're at all unsure, feel free to hit me up on Twitter and ask.
When I first wanted to take classes in search engine optimization, my options were pretty limited, and there were no Oregon search engine marketing classes offered anywhere that I was aware of.
After narrowing it down to just a couple of choices, I settled on attending John Alexander and Robin Nobles’ Search Engine Workshops, in Las Vegas in 2004.
I attended both their three day beginner session, and their two day advanced session not only to ensure I hadn’t missed anything in my self-education, (I had) but also because I wanted to understand the process of teaching the subject, and evaluate their program.
Over the ensuing two years, I traveled out of state to attend five separate SEW sessions taught by Robin, John, and their associates Jerry West, Ginette Degner, Mike Marshall and others.
Each time throughout the entire curriculum, I learned more than I thought I possibly could, and was able to return to work and apply that knowledge immediately for both client sites and my own websites. I feel I owe a large part of my success to their education and teaching methods.
In 2006, Search Engine Workshops began offering franchises to accommodate the budding growth of our industry, and I briefly considered going into the teaching field, because I loved the subject.
However, things were not to be, and my career took a different path. Oregon would have to wait for a qualified and capable curriculum for search engine marketing to come along for a while longer.
Now in 2007, the day is finally here where you can learn world-class SEO skills in Oregon, without having to buy a plane ticket, and I’m happy to announce my own affiliation with the Search Engine Academy of Oregon
