How the wrong HTML can break your SEO before it started
As I am a perfectionist I know how important it is to compare what my competitors are doing before I even create a course. The biggest flaw I noticed in most SEO courses where that they focused on big words and pipe dreams instead of focusing on the foundations. For any site to do well you need to go to the core of the site and that is always the HTML. The first thing a user interacts with on any site is the HTML code and that is true even more so with search engines. Before you can even imagine attracting people onto your site you need to have a web site that is good enough for users and search engines. In the next few models we will be digging very deep into these concepts as there critical for your site to make it. So lets get through this technical hump.

00:02All right, so welcome back you already saw what our project is you've just watched our intro to that XML course our next step is
00:09I've actually sent one of my developers to work on a new landing page for our course
00:14I want you first to see it
00:15So let's go right into that source files that I got from my one of my developers
00:20And you can see that I got from him basically a standalone page that we're gonna use that for our mini site
00:25So I just want you guys to see it if we go right into it, then you're gonna see our landing page
00:30It's literally right now. It's raw. We have to update it and put the right information inside, but we have a nice basic foundation
00:37We have a little bit of a graphic. We have your a design that's actually fluid
00:42We have your two buttons
00:43We have our start learning button and we have our button to take us to our main
00:48Registry website. We also have a copy to correlate with it subscribe to all of our courses or take this course only
00:55Links to our social media which will fill up later
00:58Some information the title a subtitle and some extra copy to explain what this course is about a
01:04Button to learn more which would then take them to that landing page again
01:08We could also see that we have a couple of reviews of students
01:12And then we finish it off with a footer that will take users to other sites of ours
01:17We will update all this information as we go
01:20But this is our basic beginning
01:22This is our supposedly our copy that we got out from our developers or in your case
01:26It might be the website that you're starting to work off of which is going to be a very very similar scenario of what we are
01:32Working on so the next step now that we have our content is we actually want to be able to have a domain for it
01:39We didn't pick a domain yet
01:40So if you didn't buy a domain yet, or you don't have hosting it
01:44I use GoDaddy for most of my landing pages, and I use GoDaddy for all of my domains
01:50if you want to go to GoDaddy as well and at the same time you want to support us by
01:55Going through our link. We will actually get a small little commission out of it, so if you go to x.co
02:040 to geek when you go into your browser if you just click x.co
02:080 to geek it will take you directly to the GoDaddy
02:12Web page with the their latest best discount or most available discount right now
02:18Which is whatever promotion they're running at so if we for example go right now
02:22We'll see that right now as we're doing this if I click in to open up a new tab, and I go to x.co
02:29whoopsie.com
02:31C o slash 0 to geek and again. It's only the lead. It's the digit zero
02:36It's not the letter
02:37Oh any click on enter you'll see that it's going to redirect us through our affiliate
02:41We'll make a small little commission and then GoDaddy is going to tell us about their special offer of getting 30% off
02:4733% off new orders if you want to support us and help us as you're learning in this free training
02:52Or free portion of the training and you want to help support us then you're always
02:56Please feel free to use that link so we will get a cut if you decide to go and buy through GoDaddy
03:02But obviously you're encouraged to go through whatever vendor that you think works best for you in the next video
03:09I'm going to log into my GoDaddy account
03:11And we're going to see what domain I purchased for our XML training
03:15And we're also going to see how I configure a hosting for our specific page and actually get it to run
03:21So that's what we're going to be in this idea section
