Casey,
Thanks for explaining it in detail. I am going to place an order.
Please notify me when the 2010 conference and 2011 conference video is available.
Thanks

David,
Volume 1 of the set is from 2008, Volume 2 is from 2009. As for what sessions are out of date, I'm not exactly sure as it's been about 8 months since I've personally watched them. Many of the sessions are on advanced theories and actions which makes them not go out of date. I know some of the PPC sessions are out of date since many of the tools have changed.
We do have the videos from our 2010 conference and we are not sure what we will be doing with those yet. They will either be placed on the website for streaming with purchase or go out with our 2011 conference which will be in July, stay turned for that.

Thank Casey, Roger, Aaron for the reply!
I think that SEOmoz put together the training on the DVD, so I can watch them all in one place instead looking around the web and SEOmoz site to find them, it will not only save me lot of time, but also it can prevent me from missing some important training. That is very good.
Thanks Roger and Aaron to point out the "date-ish" side of DVD, previously I only thought about the overlap with the book "art of seo". now I realize this "date-ish" is not avoidable, because it is in a rapid changing industry.
I have the following questions to Casey and other Seomoz::
1. when were these DVD produced?
2. Can you list the session(concept) which are outdated? I think this is most important, so we can avoid the learn-unlearn process. In my personal opinion, if 90% of the content is not out-dated, it is worth to buy. But it is very important to point out which sessions are out-dated.
3. Are you working on the new version of the DVD? if I bought the existing one, can I get some discount on the new one?
If anyone else has purchased these, please provide your feedback, I'd love to have a second opinion.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I've read both the Art Of SEO and watched both series and I would that there is some overlap but the stuff in the DVDs is more advanced than what you find in the book. Some of the sessions on the DVD are outdated but many of them still have actionable items in them that you can benefit from. Plus about 2 weeks ago we lowered the price so it's worth the pickup in my mind. You can see the back cover below in my links:

Good question!! I have looked at that before and second Aaron's concern.
Has anyone else purchased these? I'd love to hear your feedback?
SEOmoz, are these still up to date-ish?

I was considering giving them a shot as well... I am a bit hesitant to invest in a static resource when SEOmoz has such a great, constantly evolving "database" of knowledge right on the site. The problem with SEO books and videos is they are time sensitive in a very fluid industry. I'll probably still give them a go (because I love SEOmoz) but I think staying up to date with all of the content on here is a sufficient way to stay informed. Hope this helps!

Does Autoplay video effect SEO?
I'm trying to find out if autoplay videos (muted) on the homepage effect seo in anyway? Currently our site ranks around position four on the first page, but we have noticed one competitor we monitor have long auto playing videos on their sites and were wondering if they are a good or bad factor? Any info you would like to share would be great. Thanks

Moving Images to Subdomain: SEO Impacts
For sever work- load enhancements we are planning to move our images to a sub-domain. so the files would be located at something like images.domain.com Rather than domain.com/images/ We are a large Ecommerce site so we have a lot of images. These will be self hosted so we are not using a CDN. I'm hoping someone has done the same and if there were any steps they had wished they had taken before making the move/ if they noticed any traffic impacts things like that.

A lot of local SEO questions from a newbie...
I've been doing basic SEO for customers for quite awhile now in terms of on-page stuff, but am starting to move into the arena of local SEO services and had a few questions that I hoped you guys could help with. 1. What services besides Google+ Local do you list customers websites in, such as Yahoo or Bing Local? 2. When creating accounts at the services listed question #1, do you have to verify the phone number that's listed with the business owner or is there any extra type of verification needed? How do you deal with getting all that verified for the company? 3. Do you create all these listings at Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. from the same account? 4. Does anyone know of a list of the top 50 places to get local citations such as Yelp or YellowPages? 5. When creating citations do you normally have to verify the phone number or address that you list and how do you deal with that with business owners? 6. Do you use the same accounts to create all the local citations or are different ones required for each listing? 7. What companies would you recommend that handle all the above for you, such as a setting up accounts at Google, Yahoo, and Bing - and then also creating around 50 citations for you? Of course all the login information would also need to be provided for everything they create. Thanks for taking the time to read this post, I look forward to hearing back from all of you!

New site, SEO well considered, no traffic :/ What next?
Hi There! We've built whatphone.com.au with SEO at the top of the list but things are not going as expected. Yes, there's still a lot of work to do, but I was hoping to get some guidance on what to do next to make sure we keep the right focus. This is what we've done to date: Added lots of unique and relevant content, particularly to our blog (and will continue to do so on a weekly basis) Ensured internal linking is strong Optimised each product page around product name (and relevant internal links pointing to it) Ensured the code is clean (ok, we are not a 100% but in a good place) URL structure, metadata, page titles, file names and alt tags following best practice Named the company and registered our domain around one of main keywords we are currently targeting "what phone" What we're working on: Link building Site speed Social signals Rich media (videos, more images) Not a bad effort right? No love from an organic traffic perspective 😕 Ok, the site / domain is no older than 2 months old, it's a very competitive industry, and no inbound links yet, but come on! Questions: Are there any benefits of engaging external providers to help with link building? I'm talking about outsourcing from elancer or similar.. Or is this playing with fire? Have we missed something obvious here? Any help will be greatly appreciated! PS: we currently have some issues with our pricing tables, but will fixed as soon as possible..

Self Hosting Videos in Wordpress
Hi, I'm trying to figure out the best way to host my own videos on my website in addition to uploading them to YouTube. My site is Wordpress-based, and I use Pages for the main landing pages, Posts to create the different products I offer. Is there a good way to upload my videos of each product into those Posts for SEO purposes? Maybe there's a specific plugin that I should be using? Thanks in advance, Shawn
