    Hi Forum Members,

    My profession is SEO, I mostly work on Link-Building projects. I have 3.5 years experience of working with different kinds of projects on SEO (on-page and off-page).

    Other than Adwords and Analytics are there any certifications for SEO?
    Where can I get complete details and training to go with Adwords and Analytics Certification online??
    Which is best Adwords Or Analytics OR Both??

    Help me with answers. As I am not satisfied with link-building works, am trying to improvise myself in this field. Expecting helpful answers.

    Thanks.

    I got my certification from searchenginecollege.com although with 3.5 years experience I doubt you'd get much out of it.

    Hi,

    You are right. I would have known it better. But as I was working with day-to-day linking stuff. Couldn't find the exact resouce.

    There are list of courses in your mentioned website. Which one do you prefer? (what have u completed?)
    I am trying to find some source including training for Adwords and Analytics (Google) Certification. Can u help me in that point?

    There is very good stuff available on net for free in the form of SEO Blogs and forums, To Improve yourself you can get practical knowledge from these sources and apply them on your projects, some of them are SEOmoz, Search Engine Land, Search Engine Watch, SEO Chat and DP itself.
    Though both certifications are good but in my opinion analytics is better than Adwords.

    For Google Adwords Partner(Gap) Exam check http://www.google.com/adwords/professionals/
    For all about Google Analytics exam check http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/iq.html?

    Which is the best..? hmm.. it depends what are you into. If you want to specialise just in analytics you don't have to do the Adwords exams.

    And I believe that there are about 4 GAP exams. Am not sure about this.

    Hi Aparajitha..,

    As you are into SEO, its better to Google Analytic's Certification rather going with Adwords Program..,

    here is the Google Analytic's certification program URL http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/iq.html? & also can find material over there itself in PPT format..,
    if you want some paid tools analytic certification then its better to have on OMNITURE- a paid analytic tool..

    lemme know if you need any further info on this..,
