What is SEO certification?

[Jeffreyhooft]

SEO certification is one of those topics that come up repeatedly but few people seem to appreciate why they won't work. The simple fact is that no one is qualified to award such certification because no-one outside of the search engines themselves knows for sure what best practice is.

SEO Certification is the industry's first vendor-neutral Search Engine Optimization Certification developed by professionals for professionals. Experts and industry leaders from the public and private sectors, including training, academia and government work with SEOcertification.org to develop broad-based, foundational exams that validate an individual's search engine marketing skill set.
There are 3 levels of certification:
• SEO Certified Professional.
• SEO Certified Company.
• SEO Certified Trainer.

SEO certification options exist to learn more about the skill and to become certified to perform SEO. Although most SEOs are self-taught, a few of these certifications may look good on your resume.
