"The course covers tons of information and does it well. I can’t wait to get home and begin implementing the practices I learned-then see the difference they make. The course was definitely worth the trip from Kansas. The keyword research,site reviews and blog information were very helpful."
-- Suzanne K.

"Liked the click-thru tips at the end and the clarity gained about importance levels of various keyword placement. Loved the ad words section, Latent Semantic Indexing was completely new and helpful as well. Like the social media ideas for SEO. I finally understand the relevancy of blog's to site SEO. Steve’s hands on expertise took this class from good to great!! I’ve been to many, many workshops and conferences over the years, and this was by far the best use of my time and resources."

"I took a five-day intensive SEO workshop in San Francisco, which Tom taught. I learned a lot from Tom. He was generous with his time, and he clearly explained some complex topics (now I know what a robots.txt file is). Plus, he's a nice, easy-going guy. I recommend Tom's SEO training through the Bay Area Search Engine Academy."

"It was a pleasure working with Tom. His knowledge of SEO is deep and wide. We learned a tremendous amount in a short period of time. I highly recommend his services."

"I have been a web consultant for over 13 years and I have seen a lot of changes in the industry. I love the creative element of the web, but thought learning more about the SEO and Marketing aspects would be very beneficial to me. Honestly, I was apprehensive and a little frightened to attend a class on SEO. My knowledge was minimal, and the thought of learning SEO was very intimidating. I decided to face my fears and 'Give it a try!.

"I took the 5 day Masters class and I am so glad I did. OMG - what a great class! There was so much quality information. Tom took a complicated subject and made it very easy to understand. It is so refreshing to learn from someone who's extremely passionate about what he knows and so gracious to share his knowledge with me. I will be forever grateful. It was well worth the money. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and/or Marketing strategies for the web"

"I enrolled in Tom's master SEO class to brush up on my search engine optimization skills for both my company and my clients. The information that Tom presented was above and beyond what I expected to learn. Tom skillfully walked me through basic to advanced concepts--always making sure I understood every point. His expertise on the subject is obvious, and his teaching style is excellent. The information, exercises, materials, and bonuses given to me at this class made it a great investment of both my time and money. I recommend Tom and the Bay Area Search Engine Academy to all who are really serious about understanding online marketing."
