Learning SEO training is similar to writing an essay: the same topic can be explained through different texts. There are quite a few courses included in SEO training, and there is no clear rule on what you do not need to learn. However, one thing is certain: certain highly relevant courses are essential for mastering SEO. This SEO tutorial site has already published a great deal of content covering SEO knowledge, such as:

What to learn for SEO, how to learn SEO by yourself, is SEO difficult to master;

Many articles discuss how to study SEO courses. I have noticed a common problem: many people struggle to achieve good results with SEO while learning and practicing, yet they refuse to invest time, effort, or money to solve these issues. They perform poorly in SEO, feel anxious, hold back on investment, continue to perform poorly, and grow even more anxious. This problem is widespread, and honestly, I really do not understand what these people are thinking.

Back to the main topic: what courses must you take to learn SEO? Which ones are essential, and which are unnecessary?

Here is a summary.

1: Master front-end development coding skills, namely HTML, DIV CSS, and JavaScript.

2: Understand common programming languages such as PHP.

3: Learn about general web servers such as Apache, Nginx, and IIS.

4: Be proficient in widely used website building tools such as DedeCMS, WordPress, Empire CMS, Z-Blog, etc.

5: Master core SEO technologies (must-learn).

Other skills such as copywriting, communication, and data analysis are not formal courses, but they are also necessary.

These skills are explained in detail in the article “What Technologies Must Be Mastered for SEO”.

 

 

Attached here is a short article about learning SEO technical courses from scratch:

Can you do SEO without knowing how to code? Is the career switch to SEO from other fields too big? Where should absolute beginners start learning? These are the questions people ask before stepping into SEO. Below I will share my own journey of learning SEO.

As we all know, being a programmer is a tough path: endless late nights, endless overtime, and endless bugs to fix. As someone who prefers a simpler route, I chose relatively easier front-end development.

My career shifted from design to front-end and back-end website development. Later, after finishing the whole process from website planning to launch, I thought it was time to consider post-launch operations — so I started learning SEO.

In my opinion, learning SEO can be divided into two parts: website building and optimization.

Website building is not very difficult. After getting a domain name and hosting, you can download a CMS system (such as DedeCMS, WordPress, etc.), then use an FTP tool and follow the steps step by step. There are usually no major problems.

One thing to note is that there are many CMS platforms with different functions. You need to build more websites and accumulate experience through practice.

Beyond website building comes optimization. I learned SEO through Baidu Xuetang. Whenever I had time, I watched live or recorded courses. I sorted out my questions and consulted teachers after class. I took notes for every lesson, then rewrote them into articles and posted them on my technical blog as daily update content for my website.
