    Hi everyone,

    Once again, this post may be moved if required.

    My question is what can a SEO do/study to further affirm his job in an SEO role. Considering that since starting
    SEO 2.5 yrs back. I have only done SEO/Keyword Analysis+Research and many other interesting projects both large and small.

    The only feather missing is working on a PPC campaign, though my knowledge of PPC is about 45% sharp without working on an actual PPC campaign.

    I am wondering if i should go and do a IT Masters in Web/Internet related area and move into Web Dev. completely. Or learning PPC on the side is worth it

    I would love some feedback on this.

    Cheers,
    SKP77

    I suggest that you go get some diplomas such as Google certifications or Microsoft Certified Professional. Such diplomas combines with your current skills will surely pay good.

    Being a self-thought SEO myself i do HOWEVER think that SEO is very hyped and overrrated.

    There is only so much you can do.

    I dont have doubt there is more than what i currently know - it DOES need some deep insight....but certainly not endless and you dont need to study it for years.

    Despites...google will always change algos..so what you studied 2 years ago could be irrelevant today :)

    On-Site and Off-Site, you can get the basics in a few days....because it is NOT that hard. There are about 40 or so known factors for positive on-site SEO and a a bunch of factors which are known to be BAD for SEO, but all in all this is a few days learning but its not rocket-science.
