Week #12 : How to Pass Certification Exam

SEO certified is a great addition to add to your resume and LinkedIn skill set! The exam is 20 questions with unlimited time and you have to get a score of 80% or higher to pass. It'll also cost $50 to take the actual exam. If you fail you can keep retaking the exam. The exam covers basic and advanced concepts, including best practices for creating, managing, measuring, and optimizing. Because I was familiar with the way the exam worked I took this exam twice. Once I failed and the other time I passed! 


^Happy life

A lot of information can be difficult to retain. I decided that this time around I wouldn’t type out my notes. I hand wrote every single page sometimes twice if I didn’t understand the concepts mentioned on the page. I went about it this way because when you write something down your brain is more prone to remember the content you are writing. This is important not just for Adwords, but also for anything. If you want to remember something, write it down and I guarantee your brain will remember it.

I think especially with this exam and moving forward to the other exams it is important to take notes. As you take each exam the content will become more and more specific so the better you understand the surface level of each topic the easier it’ll be for you to learn the in-depth aspects as well.

Remember, don’t stress out over the exam! If it takes you more than one trial that is a good thing. It’ll help you do better the next time you take it. Also, take notes!!! I cannot stress the importance of this. It will help you a lot to remember key aspects of each chapter.

Good Luck to you!

Week #15: Artificial Intelligence Is Going To Take Away Jobs?!

Image
As a student who is going to graduate from college in the near future, reading about AI (Artificial Intelligence) I am a bit alarmed. Although some articles mention there is much time before AI will have a heavy impact on our jobs, it can be seen that the takeover has already begun. The threat of self-driving cars has many truck drivers uneasy. Self-driving cars will put thousands of truck drivers out of work.   However, it is not only truck drivers. Many other employees in large corporations are at risk of losing their jobs. One article was written in March 2017 by CNN Tech states, 38% of jobs in the U.S. are at risk of being replaced by robots and artificial intelligence over the next 15 years. The risk is not just in the United States. It plays a role in many major countries.   Shown below is a percentage table showing what percent of these countries jobs AI will affect.

Week #11: Images and SEO

Images and SEO Images are important because they grasp the attention of consumers. Companys should make sure they have nice clean pictures that relate to their content. It is also important to have a color palette that matches because the last thing you want is to seem outdated. Including images in content can also help bring traffic to your site as you can include keywords within your images as well. Google looks for content that is organized and clean because it wants to block out any kind of "spammy" sites from being associated with it. That's why sites that have a direct and clear message will get higher hits than those that do not. I encourage anyone out there who is thinking about using it to take a leap and do it. At first, it is tricky but there are many resources you can use to better your understanding. I learned the importance of being multi-channeled. Technology is going to continue to evolve and it is my generation's responsibility to figure out wha...
