SEO training in one month? is it posible??

[rsalan]

is it possible learning SEO in just 1month?? actually I'm still training, and 1month?? i don't think i can do that just by reading here, maybe in three months i can but 1?? that's impossible and i don't even have a site to promote yet... I'm a graphics designer and i was told by my boss that i will be doing a training about SEO, i get what the job is but doing it in 1 month is kind of giving me a pressure, "specially" if i don't have a good performance I'll be kicked out of the company and have to find a job again!!! i don't want to loose this job. can you help me guys??

no, and probably not in three either

my opinion is it takes years, and you need to have some scripting skills, (HTML, php or asp, css, etc) and know your way around a server, Linux or windows depending on the site platform used, and understand how hosting works, log files, (referrer logs) and other analytic, etc etc etc.

not trying to scare you off, just being realistic. Now, that said, my first SEO position was in 1997 with a major retailer and they gave me all the time and support that i needed to learn.

That is a loaded question. Let me try to help you.

Can you learn it in 1 month - Yes & No. SEO is always and I do mean always changing. So as long as your in the SEO end, you have to be learning. Ask the pros - they will tell you the learning never ends.

BUT can you learn the bare - very bare basic SEO rules, guidelines and practices in 1 month - I would say "yes". The basics are not complex.

Since your in graphics - why is your boss even forcing SEO on you?

Do you know HTML - XHTML - CSS or any computer language?
