I had taken this instructor's other course and had questions about the backlink process, so I was very interested in getting this course and learning more as I work to get better at SEO for sites.

It sounds like an infomercial, talking about the subject, but not actually teaching how to implement.
By Glenn Smith on 6/28/2020
Thank you for your professionalism and well-thought-out course. I wish there was an example case study of a beginner blogger who started out from scratch. Show us how each step is executed in realtime. Visuals with instructions showing us how it's actually done. Other than that, great!
