What do you think about Seomoz?

Hi,

I just tried to get seobook.com membership but looks they're closed.

My second pick is SeoMoz.org. I want to purchase $79/month pro membership.

What do you think about their product? Anyone's using it? Is it a good step-by-step guide to optimize your own website?

I have some knowledge about SEO here and there but it's not too structurized, and I want to organize it and apply myself to my business.


Any feedback will be appreciated

Many Thanks

JJ

    Hmm.. Aaron wall seems to be very busy...

    Well, I think $70/month is too costly unless you have money.. I better browse this forum and ask members from time to time instead of spending such amount on SEO learning..

      For that reason, I would definitely join the video version of SEO Brain Trust. You'll learn way way way more from those guys than you will SEOMoz. Dan Thies and Leslie Rohde were both head staff members at Stompernet and really know their stuff.
      I've just signed up on SEO Brain Trust and SEO Fast Start and already had a feeling of not regretting this in my life. Anymore recommendations?

    SEOMoz are industry leaders - I have a PRO membership with my comapny and it's absolutely invaluable to me. Just the tools are gold dust to me let alone the information resources.

    I've spent money on a lot of over-hyped SEO software/memberships and to be honest I can't see myself going back to them at all. They're never as cracked up as what people claim simply because the guys making them are not the best.

    Stick with the people pioneering the industry and you won't go far wrong.

      Thank you guys for sharing your experiences with seo programmes with me - I think I'll give it a shot, and if it won't work, simply cancel it within 30 days and try something else.
      I'm desperate to learn SEO techniques for myself - to be able to take a website from ground zero to a reasonable level.

      Thx again

    Cheapdeals,

    Many thanks for you advise.

    My site is up and running and actually has not so dramatically bad position in the niche (good for the non-existent seo - it's happened sort of automatically), but I'm on a mission to make it something more profitable.
    When I started looking at the seo issues I realized that it's a mess, so need to change/overwrite a lot of stuff.

    Another thing is seo optimized content - some product descriptions are very seo not-friendly and it's another issue I'm changing. So it's a lot of stuff going on and I need a good guidance. I spoke to the company, but they want to charge $800 for the first month and then $350 everymonth for the next 6 months, to have us ranked on the 1-st page of google for 1 of the 5 phrases we'll target.
    The thing is I managed to get it to the 1-st page of google for 2 phrases in 2 months - without no particularly exquisite seo - actually without no seo.
    The problem is, that the meta descriptions are far from perfect, so that might be another reason for poor conversion.

    Many thanks

    Had to change a bit my post as I made a mistake myself here.

    But anyway - I still have problems dealing with SeoMoz - especially with linkscape tool - the results don't make no sense to me: how come insiginificant blog with nearly no visitors can be no1 link juice source? And be so super trustworthy and valuable? It's beyond me. But again - it might be that I'm in the dark.

    Anyone else using Seomoz can maybe help me a bit with understanding their tools?

    Best

      Don't buy its membership. That's all I can say. Unless you are rich enough to spending your money for that crap. But, if you sure about your investment there, go on it.

        If you're a beginner and lacking any understanding I advise reading through seomoz's free stuff and quite possibly paying for their link building guide (I haven't seen it but it could help).

        From there when knowing the basics there is nothing out there that can teach you what you really need to know to be a successsful SEO.. Not one product, just due care and deep research then test test test.

    hi,

    Thanks for your opinions.
    I might have been not perfectly clear in my last post.

    I already purchased the pro membership, and now am going through the stuff. Some of it I already found useful (term target), but don't underestand all of it.

    So I'm wondering if anyone here is also using SEOmoz and can help me a bit with understanding some of the data from their tools (especially linkscape).

    Thanks again

    JJ
