Q and A: Do I have to learn HTML before learning SEO?

Posted on by

QuestionHi Kalena,

I’m looking to take your SEO starter course and your site says you can recommend tutorials for learning HTML.

From what I am reading, I think I need to learn that before I take your courses. How can I take that tutorial to prepare for your courses? What is the procedure to get to that tutorial?

Thank you
Larry

Hi Larry

Thanks for your question and your interest in taking our Search Engine College courses.

Just to reassure you, knowledge of HTML or programming is not a pre-requisite for taking any of our courses. Having said that, if you wish to take an online tutorial in HTML before enrolling with us, you can find some here:

W3Schools HTML Tutorial

HTML Code Tutorial

Dave’s Interactive HTML Tutorial

Getting Started With HTML

Hope this helps!

SEC Affiliate Program to be Discontinued

Posted on by

SEC-smiley-150x178Due to an upcoming shift in our business model, we have made the decision to discontinue the Search Engine College Affiliate Program from 1 March, 2013.

After that date, any affiliate links pointing to our site may cease to work and all traffic will cease to be tracked for commission-earning purposes. Please remove any affiliate links from your site prior to this date to avoid any confusion for visitors to your site.

You are welcome to login to the Affiliate Area any time up to 1 March, 2013 to check your statistics and residual commissions.

Any residual commissions owing to affiliates will be paid via PayPal after 1 March, provided the residual amount meets the minimum payment threshold of USD 200.

If you’ve got any questions about the discontinuation of the Affiliate Program not answered here, feel free to contact us.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting Search Engine College via our affiliate program and we wish you all the best with your future endeavours.
