The SEO Dojo – Training for Super SEO Geeks!

Posted: February 25th, 2009 | Author: Ben McKay | Filed under: Online Marketing Talk: No Comments »

There’s been something pretty big bubbling in the SEO community for a while now…a new training platform for higher-level SEO learning is about to be launched…something I think we can all agree will be well received by the SEO community.

This SEO forum is to be called the Dojo, and will providing teaching and training to those looking to hone their SEO skills to a greater level. The Dojo has been established by a Mr David Harry, a professional SEO. Here’s a snippet about the man himself…

David Harry

You’re more than likely to know David Harry through his ‘theGypsy’ pseudonym on various social media sites, Huomah SEO blog or other areas where he writes such as Site Reference, something that really might be handy for my beta custom SEO job search engine and SEO job site! </self-plug>

More than that he is one of a handful of SEO guys that delves into the search engine patents, tests and reports, challenges and promotes a whole host of extremely value-adding SEO content…sharing ideas that create great opportunities in developing your website(s) to be optimised to their greatest long-term ability.

Other bits about David Harry: he cares for a range of exotic pets including a 40″ python, he’s an ultra-SEO-nerd reading search engine patents over his Corn Flakes, and he is the author of The SEO Handbook.

The Dojo’s SEO Training Forum / Resources

What makes the SEO Dojo so special is that it’s aiming to take more than just one step beyond the ‘introduction to SEO’ guides, but rather several, and delving very honestly and openly into the scientific and artistic depths of SEO.

The Dojo states:

We are here to teach, to learn and to grow; every teacher a student and student a teacher…The HuoMah SEO Dojo (or Fire Horse) was started as a place to collect search related documents, interact with others and spread the word of search optimization in it’s highest form.

…how positive is that! David Harry’s credibility as an SEO has been backed by experiential knowledge and masses of research and testing across various niches. He has also built-up such a reputation from his ‘no messing’ approach to SEO/SEM commentary and of which poses as the ideal condidate to be your SEO mentor in the SEO Dojo. If you like what you read on the Huomah blog, and want even more depth and access to resources, keep your eyes peeled for more news on the SEO Dojo.
