Course Description

UPDATED FOR APRIL 2017. JOIN OVER 1,200 STUDENTS!
You might be able to create the greatest Ruby on Rails website in the world... But is anyone going to find it?
Do you already have some knowledge of Ruby on Rails? And would you like to boost search engine traffic to the Ruby on Rails websites you build? Also, do you want to be more attractive to employers who value web development SEO skills?
My name is David Fonvielle, and I created my first Ruby on Rails website in 2011. When I built my website, I wanted to optimize it for search engine traffic, so that people could find all the articles I was writing and the tools I was building. Unfortunately, I didn't know anything about SEO at the time, much less how to use my skills as a Ruby on Rails web developer to make my website better optimized for search engine traffic.
I looked online for help on how to create a more SEO friendly Ruby on Rails website, and it was a very confusing, time-consuming learning experience.
First, I learned an overwhelming amount of information about SEO, with a lot of contradictory information which made me more confused than ever. Then, I had to figure out how to create a more SEO friendly Ruby on Rails website from bits and pieces of information scattered around the internet.
What I wanted was simple: for someone to teach me the basic, most important aspects of search engine optimization (SEO) that I could do something about as a Ruby on Rails web developer... And then give me specific step by step instructions on how to create a more SEO friendly Ruby on Rails website that addressed these most important aspects.
And that's exactly what this course does.
This course assumes that you have some basic, working knowledge of Ruby on Rails, but it also assumes that you have no knowledge of SEO at all. So you'll learn the most important aspects of SEO that you can do something about with your Ruby on Rails skills, and you'll learn step by step how to use your Ruby on Rails skills to create more SEO friendly websites.
Specifically, you'll learn:

Why meta titles are so important for SEO and how to implement a unique meta title on every page of your website
How meta descriptions are related indirectly to SEO and how to implement a unique meta description on every page of your website
What the best type of urls are for an SEO friendly website and how to create them (this is important: Ruby on Rails does not give you seo-friendly urls out of the box!)
What types of redirects to use to preserve "link-juice" and how to implement them
How to keep certain pages out of the search engine results and how to protect your websites from Google's "duplicate content penalty" by making sure you only get the pages you want indexed
How to make sure that every page title is better optimized for search engine traffic by taking just 1 simple step

By taking this course, you're going to learn one of the most useful, practical, web development skills ever: how to help your Ruby on Rails websites rank in search engine results so that people can find the website you created.
After all, that's the entire point of creating a website in the first place, isn't it? To create something that other people will find, use, and enjoy.
So take this course today and immediately become a more skilled, knowledgeable Ruby on Rails web developer who enjoys getting more search engine traffic.
Enrol in the course right now!Who this course is for:

This course is for anyone who has at least some basic Ruby on Rails knowledge and wants to create a more SEO-friendly Ruby on Rails website
It is ideal for any Ruby on Rails web developer who wants to boost search engine traffic via SEO (search engine optimization)
This course is also good for anyone who simply wants to further develop their Ruby on Rail skills in a very useful, practical way
This course will also appeal to any Ruby on Rails web developer who wants to be more attractive to potential employers (having basic SEO skills is important, since every website owner wants more search engine traffic)
This course is not for someone who has no experience with Ruby on Rails at all (the assumption is that you already understand the basics of Ruby on Rails)

I would expect a little more.

By F I

it seems to be quite rare that a course "simply" devlivers what was announced. Instead of lenghty modules and promoting 5,6,7,8,9,... hours of "content" this training delivery what was promised, without hours of self-loving introductions, history about this and that or even worse: non-related contents. Thanks! Please add more, especially about making a more advanced blog (cms!?) that salso targets customers in different countries (i18n)

By Brochard Roman

I think the way you declare your @meta_title, @meta_description, @no_index etc is a great way to explain things but in a real production app this would clog your controllers really badly. I would suggest putting these declarations directly in the views instead ..

By Yusuf Murat

It is very clear and concise. Simplicity is key.

By Shane Carr

Very good and concise course on the practical SEO aspects of Ruby on Rails.

By Jutta Schwengsbier

Kurs gibt gute Tipps fÃ¼r die SEO Programmierung mit Ruby on Rails. Hat sich gelohnt ihn anzusehen.

By Gregory DeNinno

Awesome course. This course is very specific and direct. How to optimize your Rails app for SEO. The instructor gives clear and easy to follow instructions on how to implement SEO strategies in dynamic rails environment. I have gone and implemented every one of his techniques in my Rails sites.

By Emieldo Oude

Really good explained! Just what i was looking for! Straight to the point with good examples. Implemented it already in my rails app during the videos. Thanks from the Netherlands

By Will Mitbrodt

I didn't really know what to expect going into this course, but I was pleasantly surprised. All the content is very useful, and the instructor(David Fonvielle) delivers it flawlessly. He's to the point, and explains everything clearly.

David always responded to my questions very quickly and he clearly took the time to give the best possible feedback and/or solution. I would definitely take another course taught by David Fonvielle. Highly recommended.

By Tyler VanNurden

Decent basic info but clearly not an SEO expert or even Rails expert. Does not go into enough detail about topics and does not show intermediate - advanced SEO tips for Rails devs

By Dylan Ludwick

I didn't know anything about SEO before this. I haven't implemented any of these techniques into my website/blog yet - but when I do, it's going to be a breeze. I didn't know it would be this easy!

The only thing I'd actually like to know passed this is how to create dynamic SEO friendly url's without the use of a gem to do the work.
