I think my problem has to do with menthorship. I would really apreciate someone I could learn from. And I think I prefer learning face to face, rather than being all the time online.

When I first started out I read and read and read. Now I am certified in SEO, but to be honest it took about 1 year to be fully professional at it.

Here is the trick to success in any business, as long as you have a reasonable concept. Just keep going, you will have good days and bad days, everyone is overwhelmed at first, the ones that succeed are those that just keep going.

I think being a member here is a good start, there is a lot of info on SEO, and also many links to other good info. Like they said above its just alot of time and work to understand it all.

When I started learning SEO, I thought it was really difficult and I would never get the hang of it. It was for techno-geeks who knew way more about programming and HTML code than I ever would. Well, I discovered it's really not all that complicated. It's true, there's a lot to learn, but the basic concepts are simple, and once you immerse yourself in it and start seeing it in action, you realize that anyone can learn the basics well enough to start ranking for your keywords.

Exactly. There are those self-styled SEO "experts" who would have you believe otherwise for obvious reasons, but I've said many time SEO is not rocket science. With a little persistence and dedication to reading and learning, you can become your own "expert", or at least far along that road to do most of what you7 need to do and to avoid falling for the many industry swindles.

When I start learning SEO, everything was so strange since I didn't know or heard anything about it before. I was so tired and bored when I had to read so many materials. However, I finally started working with my first site, things tended to interesting. The first time saw my site got PR, that was really a great feeling. Everything was so magical when you realized that you can do many things after hard working time

When I first started - I did nothing but read on forums and sites.

After that, I did something that would help me...three words:

Test, Test, Test!
