I was considering giving them a shot as well... I am a bit hesitant to invest in a static resource when SEOmoz has such a great, constantly evolving "database" of knowledge right on the site. The problem with SEO books and videos is they are time sensitive in a very fluid industry. I'll probably still give them a go (because I love SEOmoz) but I think staying up to date with all of the content on here is a sufficient way to stay informed. Hope this helps!

Good question!! I have looked at that before and second Aaron's concern.

Has anyone else purchased these? I'd love to hear your feedback?

SEOmoz, are these still up to date-ish?

Hi Guys,

I've read both the Art Of SEO and watched both series and I would that there is some overlap but the stuff in the DVDs is more advanced than what you find in the book.  Some of the sessions on the DVD are outdated but many of them still have actionable items in them that  you can benefit from.  Plus about 2 weeks ago we lowered the price so it's worth the pickup in my mind.  You can see the back cover below in my links:

Thank Casey, Roger, Aaron for the reply!

I think that SEOmoz put together the training on the DVD, so I can watch them all in one place instead looking around the web and SEOmoz site to find them, it will not only save me lot of time, but also it can prevent me from missing some important training. That is very good.

Thanks Roger and Aaron to point out the "date-ish" side of DVD, previously I only thought about the overlap with the book "art of seo". now I realize this "date-ish" is not avoidable, because it is in a rapid changing industry.

I have the following questions to Casey and other Seomoz::

1. when were  these DVD produced?

2. Can you list the session(concept) which are outdated? I think this is most important, so we can avoid the learn-unlearn process. In my personal opinion, if 90% of the content is not out-dated, it is worth to buy. But it is very important to point out which sessions are out-dated.

3. Are you working on the new version of the DVD? if I bought the existing one, can I get some discount on the new one?

If anyone else has purchased these, please provide your feedback, I'd love to have a second opinion.

Thanks

David,

Volume 1 of the set is from 2008, Volume 2 is from 2009.  As for what sessions are out of date, I'm not exactly sure as it's been about 8 months since I've personally watched them.  Many of the sessions are on advanced theories and actions which makes them not go out of date.  I know some of the PPC sessions are out of date since many of the tools have changed.

We do have the videos from our 2010 conference and we are not sure what we will be doing with those yet.  They will either be placed on the website for streaming with purchase or go out with our 2011 conference which will be in July, stay turned for that.

Casey,

Thanks for explaining it in detail. I am going to place an order.

Please notify me when the 2010 conference and 2011 conference video is available.

Thanks
