We are pleased to announce that the TreeHouse SEM / WebAssist SEO Starter Kit is now completed and scheduled to be launched on February 16th.  Through our partnership with WebAssist we have created an interactive SEO training experience that is both captivating and rich in content.  We are very proud of the outcome and look forward to sharing it with you all very soon.

Our goal has always been to provide the very best in design, development, optimization, and training. To continue this tradition, TreeHouse has partnered with WebAssist to create an interactive training platform that will serve as the new standard in SEO training. This will dramatically improve the quality of our training modules and allow for true interactive teaching. We are very pleased with the progress so far and look forward to showing it off to you all.

We estimate the first module (Keywords and Best Practices) will be completed and available to the public in February 2009. Currently, we plan on building 5 modules that will cover the entire scope of SEO from keyword analysis to inbound linking.

TreeHouse Labs, our training wing, is growing rapidly and nearing completion. We are currently working with a partner to deliver our training material in a fully interactive and engaging manner. Our goal is to have this training material available in the next couple of months. As of this post, the material covers the following main topics:

1.) Keywords and Best Practices
2.) Onsite Optimization
3.) Offsite Optimization
4.) Dynamic Sites
5.) Tracking Results

We are really proud of the material we have so far and are looking forward to getting this out to everyone. There is no reason that someone should have to search 20 locations to get good, trustworthy information on SEO when the knowledge is already compiled in any easy-to-follow training format. No quick overview. No sales pitch masquerading as training. Just the complete story from A to Z on how to get your Web site optimized.

We will continue to bring you updates as soon as they are available.
