Search engine optimisation (SEO) has changed dramatically in the last few years, with the Panda, Penguin and Hummingbird updates changing the search landscape beyond recognition.
Despite this, many publishers are relying on outdated SEO training that does not take into account recent changes or – worse – is actively harming their site's search performance.
This intensive one-day course, led by Adam Tinworth, is fully updated to incorporate the latest Google changes, including the lack of keyword referral data and Hummingbird.
This workshop will provide media professionals everything they need to know about SEO and how search engines operate.
As with all Journalism.co.uk courses, the training will focus on the latest tools and techniques with an emphasis on practical, hands-on learning. Tea, coffee and danish pastries plus a sandwich buffet lunch are included.
