Distilled U or Market Motive? Need recommendations for self-paced, advanced SEO training courses.
-
I'd like to get some recommendations on self-paced SEO courses. They need to be online, and they need to be rather advanced.
Moz has perks for both Distilled U and Market Motive. Has anyone gone through these? What are the differences in format, content, etc.?

Our company (Market Campus) launched in the summer of 2014 and our students have had amazing success. From students who knew very little about digital marketing and wanted to start a career to companies sending their employees to be re-trained. We've been getting so much demand to launch an online solution we are getting ready to launch our first ever online course. You can check out our pricing options by clicking here.
The issue we found with many of the popular online courses out there is there is zero direction. They are pricey subscriptions packed with content and no path for the user. Our course was designed specifically with a path that we've designed to take you to beginner to pro. The reviews and feedback we've received has been awesome.
It really is an amazing program and takes an entirely new (and much more effective) approach to teaching digital marketing. If you have any questions shoot us an email at info@marketcampus.com

Hey Justin,
I went through Market Motive and I Loved it. I had what I though a decent understanding of SEO but my knoledge now in comparison is next level.
Content is great! They really explain everything well in all their video modules. The quick quiz's are nice to make sure I'v learnt the key concepts. In my opinion their content is very to date consider the ever changing world of SEO. You'll find a few inconsistencies VS. new best practice but for the most part it's very accurate.
I can't speak for distilled but it's a huge plus to have OMCP certification after passing the final test. Great thing to use for clients and email signatures.
I just got my first Audit + Ongoing client and I couldn't have done it without their training.
Hope that helps!

Hey Justin,
I've done the complete DistilledU training. It's advanced in sections and at times, very basic. It's pretty much covers everything tho. It's very much learn at your own pace, as is MarketMotive and I have all my strategists or consultants work through Distilled and Moz as part of the their training for in house work. I don't know anyone who has done the Market Motive courses, but I can tell you after spending a little more time on it today, that I will be going through and possibly ordering it. We are also HubSpot certified as an agency so many of these certifications would benefit that tie we have with their products.
My guess, the advanced training you would be looking for - would be MarketMotive.com as I am looking at it myself for our agency and our teams! That's my 2 cents
I plan on getting budgets set aside and getting it all lined up. I'm sold and going to move it into the pipeline.

I had a look at Distilled U and while it caters for all levels, there is a fair bit of advanced content. I was under the impression that there was a free trial for this, but could be wrong.
i can only speak for this, but I found it well paced with good examples and explanations.

Gallery maintenance and the effect on SEO
Basically we get a lot of users uploading photos as part of their review, but many photos aren't moderated into our pages and therefore are never displayed. Things like selfies rather than photos of the product or just random google images that are completely unrelated to our products or services. Is there any benefit in cleaning up the gallery since some images we don't use are just sat there in admin?

when a page loads, would it be quicker if we had less content in the gallery? With our SEO hat on.
or does it not matter since it's not loading that content (photos) anyway?0 -
Merging Pages and SEO
Hi, We are redesigning our website the following way: Before: Page A with Content A, Page B with Content B, Page C with Content C, etc
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | viatrading1
e.g. one page for each Customer Returns, Overstocks, Master Case, etc
Now: Page D with content A + B + C etc.
e.g. one long page containing all Product Conditions, one after the other So we are merging multiples pages into one.
What is the best way to do so, so we don't lose traffic? (or we lose the minimum possible) e.g. should we 301 Redirect A/B/C to D...?
Is it likely that we lose significant traffic with this change? Thank you,0 -
CDN for SEO (or not)?
Does CDN impact on SEO or not? There seems conflicting ideas as to whether they impact positively or negatively, I realise that if the page loads quicker this is a good thing for SEO and usability of course. Does Google see CDN as just cheating and a get-around for not doing the work from the ground up and using good hosting etc? Do you have any direct experience? All constructive input much appreciated!

Rel="self" and what to do with it?
Hey there Mozzers, Another question about a forum issue I encountered. When a forum thread has more than just one page as we all know the best course of action is to use rel="next" rel="prev" or rel="previous" But my forum automatically creates another line in the header called Rel="self" What that does is simple. If i have 3 pages http://www.example.com/article?story=abc1

http://www.example.com/article?story=abc2
http://www.example.com/article?story=abc3 **instead of this ** On the first page, http://www.example.com/article?story=abc1 On the second page, http://www.example.com/article?story=abc2 On the third page, http://www.example.com/article?story=abc3: it creates this On the first page, http://www.example.com/article?story=abc1 So as you can see it creates a url by adding the ?page=1 and names it rel=self which actually gives back a duplicate page because now instead of just http://www.example.com/article?story=abc1 I also have the same page at http://www.example.com/article?story=abc1?page=1 Do i even need rel="self"? I thought that rel="next" and rel="prev" was enough? Should I change that?0 -
When is it recommended to use a self referencing rel "canonical"?
In what type of a situation is it the best type of practice to use a self referencing rel "canonical" tag? Are there particular practices to be cautious of when using a self referencing rel "canonical" tag? I see this practice used mainly with larger websites but I can't find any information that really explains when is a good time to make use of this practice for SEO purposes. Appreciate all feedback. Thank you in advance.

Changing Servers + Effect on SEO
Hi, I am currently with a very slow server. Our website takes quite a while to load, FTP is very slow and content changes with Wordpress are slow because even the database connection takes a lot of time. However, my website ranks very well. Traffic has doubled in the last year. Our domain has been registered with this company for over 10 years. I am wondering if changing to a different hosting provider would have an effect on my rankings due to the change in IP.
