My next step in the Internet Marketing

    Hello,
    My experience with PPC promoting Clickbank products is finished. After three happy years, after Adwords even my adCenter account has been suspended. It 's a bad time because I've gone from $10,000 per month to zero. I am very attracted to the SEO marketing, I have spoken with a professional SEO for a course which costs € 600 (I reside in Italy) - but he told me that I would throw away money because in the U.S. search engines the competition is in order of millions of results and there is not a SEO course that can teach me to reach the top spot in Google. It 's true?
    Thanks

    Well you should have the basics of SEO, try not to get involved in a Make money course ;) maybe you should search for a SEO bootcamp or something like that ;)

    Everything is possible, it's just harder. There are a few countries where it's still very easy to get ranked well while it's harder to rank well in Google.com. Why don't you go local and optimise Italian websites? Send e-mails to companies in Italy for keywords they aren't ranking etc ;)

    Yes, I think it is a good option, however, as I said my goal is to place new sites on Google.com. I do not believe that the professional SEO said. Two years ago I created a site using Frontpage intuitively, and is in first place in Google.com with four keywords - one of them with millions of results. This leads me to think that it is not impossible to compete in Google - especially if you pick a good SEO guide and you try to make a few dozen sites. I started this tread because I'm really looking for confirmation, even though I already made ​​my decision, I hope to succeed.

    Yes, I know I have to wait even several months for results... Time is not a problem, I just hope that my goal is not impossible for an inexperienced SEO like me.

    I definitely would not pay for his course. Much better to get free resources, and then just jump in and see what happens

    Mate, when you reach your goal, call to that " profession" SEO guy and tell him he was damn wrong with his statement.

    I did much better promoting Clickbank products through article marketing than PPC. Sick of Google having too much power over everyone who depends on them.

    I'm not the one that has enough experience to tell, but I am sure that article marketing is a valid way to get into the Internet Marketing. However I can assure you that as long as it was possible, PPC was very convenient for me over the last three years. PPC has made me earn enough to give me at least two years to try to complete my SEO learning.

    Welcome to SEO...It is quite better than PPC as PPC will help you only up to when you pays after that you are no more for that and is not shown nowhere but in SEO you will be always remembered with your content or the other activities and will always help you...

    up-to some extent it is!
    since you are a newbie to the seo, the guy just tried to show you the inner face of the seo world
    he might be expecting that you are just another wannabe I.M & you won't survive for long term.

    as someone already pointed out: nothing is impossible, but yes its difficult & even more if you are a newcomer
    you need a lot of time, patience & efforts to get desired serps, hope it clears your doubts :)

    SEO is a self learning process, no one can teach you to become an SEO expert. You will have to make your own way by learning all the methods and implementing them.
    The best way to start is by reading top SEO websites like SEObook etc. Good Luck.

    Google free seo training , there's a ton of it. I'm sure most of them will try to sell you software to help you do SEO. You need to get some idea of what you need before buying anything.

    I agree. There is no formal training on SEO anywhere as far as I know. There's no certification given by any company or online institution that will say this person is an SEO Expert. There are plenty of information on SEO. For free lessons, go here

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    What you want out of your internet business is how much time you are going to spend working on it. So, what is the next step? There is a way to get a blog and do SEO works for your own blog. After some times you will get money through this blog itself.

    PPC is a way to divert the targeted traffic on your site and it's your guts to convert that into leads. I think, You should take first the basic knowledge of SEO before joining any SEO professional course and I have hardly heard about any reputed SEO course from any reputed Institute or organization.

    Google only gives the certificate as the "Google Analytic Expert" but based on a condition that you have to run a PPC campaign of $1500 dollar minimum, then Google would take an exam and if you passed out then you would get the "Google Analytic Expert" certificate from Google.

    Be careful with these courses that cost quite a bit of money and promise everything... If the guy running it has all the answers, why isn't he implimenting them?
