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

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 As for what sessions are out of date, I'm not exactly sure as it's been about 8 months since I've personally watched them. Many of the sessions are on advanced theories and actions which makes them not go out of date. I know some of the PPC sessions are out of date since many of the tools have changed.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

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 Can you list the session(concept) which are outdated?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

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 Some of the sessions on the DVD are outdated but many of them still have actionable items in them that you can benefit from.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:

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?

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!

Looking to hire an SEO for a Technical Review of my site
Hi I am new to SEO. I am the photographer and blogger behind the photography blog ShootTokyo. I am looking to make sure my site is optimized the best it can be for SEO. My site is a hobby for me but has really grown. I am looking make sure I have best practices implemented. I am not looking for quick fixes or try to cheat the system but to make sure I have a good solid foundation in place for SEO. I don't have a lot of experience nor a lot of free time so I want to make sure whatever free time I spend on this is really productive. I am looking to initially hire someone to do a technical assessment of my site and identify any fundamental issues I should address first. Once I have the assessment I am looking for advice on putting together a work plan on what I need to do and the best way to approach it. How can I best use the tools Moz is offering me? Which things are higher value that I should work on first, specific to my site? For more technical things I might hire this person to implement them or teach me how to implement them. If this is your business can you please let me know what your qualifications, experience, a link to your site and give me a range of what you might charge for something like this (you can email me details if you don't want to post here). If this isn't your business but have a recommendation I would love one. I am Tokyo based so ideally someone either in Asia, Europe or West Coast of US as it makes it easier to connect live if needed. Thanks Dave

SEO And Images: 2014 Tips
What is a good "image" strategy? All I really know is to make sure to use images that you create yourself and/or images that are approved for free commercial use and add alt tags. Right now, just making sure all our pages have images and updating some of the lower quality ones would surely help us, but I'm hoping someone can add a little detail into how best to use images for seo, conversions and how to avoid slowing our site way down by adding more (we do have the smushit plugin which helps some). Thanks, Ruben Our site is www.kempruge.com

Confusion About Local SEO
Hi, I hope someone might be able to help me out with this. I am somewhat confused. Basically I have a site that has 2 operating bases in 2 neighboring counties. Say Hampshire and West Sussex. Now I understand the need for schema markup. However, where exactly to put this markup I cant see a definitive answer. even on the official googleblog they seem to shy away from answering this. For the moment I have placed it on the contact us page and obviously there are 2 sets of schema markups for the 2 addresses. Now, the bit I am confused about is that I was reading the Koozai Local SEO white paper and they mention to have the addresses in the footer. This is fine and I can do that, especially as there are a lot of sub pages on the site for different products which we would like to try and rank for. Now, this is the bit I am slightly confused on, should the addresses in the footer be the schema markups? I suspect not but I would like to be sure. Many Thanks

How do I get my site to rank in Google Videos?
I have a site that has quite a few videos. When I do a search from Google video's using keywords for our site, the site is not listed with the video site although it is listed with the html site. So how do I get Google to recognize that the site has all the videos. eg google video search with keywords: social media "damon adachi" website: biztvcanada.com Thanks Janice

Image SEO - Does having multiple sites using same image help?
I'd assume that if many websites reference the same image on a server that this image would rank higher in image results than a similar image that is only used on 1 website.I have yet to do any testing with this to be certain, but how important does this factor seem to be in regards to image SEO?

Will putting images in a light box or photo gallery affect my image SEO?
A website that is very image heavy and would like to enhance the user experience with a photo gallery. How will this affect the indexing of these photos? Can I still add alt. tags and title tags to these images?
