Has anyone purchased the MOZ SEO courses? Are they good?

I'm looking to learn more about SEO. Has anyone purchased the courses available through MOZ? If so, are they useful?
-
All of the Moz products we think are really top quality.
Anyone can also learn about SEO, whether that's organic or local SEO, from the learn SEO section, we think Moz is brilliant.

I am a 'practical' seo with a few years of experiencie, from Spain. Never studied anything related with it appart from several non official courses about wordpress, links, webs, etc. And a few projects enough for a cheap living. I learnt evertything from myself and the internet, and despite having a few good projects I can not demonstrate my knowledge. I would like to start as a seo proffesional working with clients.
Could you please recommend any good and official course to start in the seo business? Universities, agencies... anything that could help to start and have an opportunity.
Regards in advance. -
I run the training program and can share some testimonials from our recent students below. The current coursework has widely positive feedback, with many students attending more than one class.
The one area of feedback we get about improvements (and are addressing) is that our most advanced attendees tend to think the courses are too basic. That makes sense as we have been aiming mostly at the beginner to intermediate user, and have one-off seminars focused on the most advanced user groups.
The most popular courses are the Keyword Research, SEO Fundamentals, and Site Audit class. These really focus on practical aspects of delivering SEO. We try to make that our differentiation. Having taken a lot of online classes ourselves, we don't find value in theory-only coursework. Without a practical application, its hard to justify the investment. So we focus on processes, application of concepts, and workflows.
Here are some testimonials we've gathered recently:
"It's definitely worth the price of admission"
"I would highly recommend MOZ training. Covers all the questions you are afraid to ask. Gives an informative insight into SEO and helps you discover how to read and relate to what's in front of you. How it impacts to your business and most importantly how to put it into practice. Bravo! Will definitely sign up for more. Thanks
""I really enjoyed this training. The content was very well organized and essential for learning the basics of SEO. The course was very informative and educational. I highly recommend this course."

Hey there!
We've heard positive feedback from many of our students. If you want to give the training a shot, the first class in the Bootcamp series runs at $49 and can be purchased individually. That may give you a good sense of the content and instruction style. Check out the catalog here: https://academy.moz.com/

I have the same question, I want to hear any feedback. I have been spending a lot of money on courses which are not what they pretend to be. I can say just the 10% are really useful.

Unsolved Moz tried to charge our credit card
Hello, We noticed that MOZ tried to charge our credit card, while we are on Trial period until today. We decided to cancel the subscription (until our budget grows and come back). The tool is great, but it currently is too expensive for our business. We enjoyed the trial period and will surely come back when our business can afford it!! Thanks!

Can Moz Monitor a JS Site?
We are building a new site that, on the blog landing page, uses JS to populate the individual blog article links on the page. The links are not viewable in the page source, but do appear once the page fully renders. After running an on-demand crawl of the site (in QA...not indexed yet), it appears that Moz isn't indexing these pages, and it also isn't reading other page elements that load later (like an H1 that is rendered in JS but not in page source). Are we going to be able to use Moz to track this site? Is there some setting to help?

Moz not able to crawl our site - any advice?
When I try and crawl our site through Moz it gives this message: Moz was unable to crawl your site on Aug 7, 2019. Our crawler was banned by a page on your site, either through your robots.txt, the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header, or the meta robots tag. Update these tags to allow your page and the rest of your site to be crawled. If this error is found on any page on your site, it prevents our crawler (and some search engines) from crawling the rest of your site. Typically errors like this should be investigated and fixed by the site webmaster. I have been through all the help and doesn't seem to be any issues. You can check the site and robots.txt here: https://myfamilyclub.co.uk/robots.txt. Anyone got any advice on where I could go to get this sorted?

Moz health check for newbies
Hi I'm on the free trial, I'm finding it really useful. since I was 16 (16years ago) all I've done is cook. After 3 weeks of Moz I feel like I'm or the way to marketing my business instead of having others tell me how to do it. A while back I used to use SEO freelancers to buff my site, but recently I realized that I was not doing enough to promote my business myself, I was trying to pay others to do it for me. I goggled Soe and marketing, of course I found Moz while doing so! The content is exceptional and really goes in depth and we are now coming up with a new content strategy! The problem is that I have this gut feeling that The moz product is worth the money it asks for as I can easily identify the issues or opportunities my site has, I still feel that I lack the competence to use moz to its full potential! Is there an option to have someone skpe me and give me some tips or in sites with in my own campaign? I've spent a lot of time reading the blog content and watching the videos but this all seams to focus on how to get results but not so much on how to use the Moz console/dashboard. I've probably just missed a hole bunch of content but if not do Moz have and option to help set up your Moz analytic and Research so you can get the most relevant info to you? Any help is most welcome Kind regards Ben Horle SussexChef.com

Moz's official stance on Subdomain vs Subfolder - does it need updating?
Hi, I am drawing your attention to Moz's Domain basics here: http://moz.com/learn/seo/domain It reads: "Since search engines keep different metrics for domains than they do subdomains, it is recommended that webmasters place link-worthy content like blogs in subfolders rather than subdomains. (i.e. www.example.com/blog/ rather than blog.example.com) The notable exceptions to this are language-specific websites. (i.e., en.example.com for the English version of the website)." I am wondering if this is still Moz's current recommendation on the subfolders vs subdomains debate, given that the above (sort of) implies that SE's may not combine ranking factors to the domain as a whole if subdomains are used - which (sort of) contradicts Matt Cutts last video on the matter ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MswMYk05tk ) which implies that this is not the case and there is so little difference that their recommendation is to use whatever is easiest. It would also seem to me that if you were looking through the eyes of Google, it would be silly to treat them differently if there were no difference at all other than subdomain vs subfolder as one of the main reasons a user would use a sud-domain is a technical on for which it would not make sense for Google to treat differently in terms of its algorithm. I notice that in terms of Moz, while most of the site uses subfolders, you do have http://devblog.moz.com/ - and I was wondering if this is due to a technical reason or conscious decision, as it would seem to me that the content within this section is indeed linkworthy (as it has external links pointing to it from external sources), therefore it would seem to not be following the initial advice that is posted in Moz's basics on domains. Therefore I am assuming it is due to a technical reason - or that Moz's adive is out of date with current Moz thinking, and is indeed in line with Matt C in that it doesn't matter. Cheers

How long does it usually take Moz to populate information for a new Web site?
We recently launched (9/13/2013) an e-commerce Website and added the campaign to SEO MOZ. Week after week the Domain Rank is 1 and none of our keyword stats or link stats are populated. We have another Moz campaign that posts weekly updates and is doing extremely well. I'm just wondering how long it usually takes Moz to start populating all the analysis stats? I'm also wondering if there might be a campaign setting buried somewhere that I need to enable or maybe it just takes more than 5 weeks? Any insights would be much appreciated. Here's the new URL we need to track with MOZ: http://www.imsportshq.com
