Online SEO staff Tests

[James77]

Hi,

I've got a number of staff in the office that I am trying to get to learn SEO.

I want to be able to test them on their ability and have already set them the SEOMOZ test: http://www.seomoz.org/seo-expert-quiz .

Does anyone know of any other decent online SEO tests I can set them - I haven't really got the time to develop a test myself, so I am looking for some pre-build online testing.

Thanks

SEOmoz's test is by far the best available, so you're already off to a good start.  You may want to look into the Google Analytics/AdWords certification tests.  I know they're not exactly related to SEO, but I'd sure want anybody doing SEO for me to know their way around Google Analytics.

There are also a few good lists of SEO interview questions that you may find helpful:

Thanks - Yes the SEOMOZ test is great - I set 3 people tests today and 2 of them got over 95% - Given they only started learning SEO 2 months ago, and only an hour or so a day at that (SEO is not their main job - they are just content editors) - I've either got 2 genius SEO's on my hands or they learnt the test beforehand!!

That's quite good.  The test is certainly no joke.  I'd say they are already way better off than 90% of the "professional SEOs" in this business if they understand the fundamentals that SEOmoz stresses in that test.
