Product Description
Basic SEO Tips by Mike Crooks is a comprehensive package that offers basic instructions and easy-to-use tips about search engine optimization. The aim appears to be enhancing the user's website to receive more traffic and thus, increase revenue for the web entrepreneurs. The product has received very few comments or reviews on the internet.
Detailed Overview
Basic SEO Tips by Mike Crooks comes across as a learning guide for internet marketers and online business owners. The purpose of the product seems to be teaching web entrepreneurs useful ways in which to increase the number of visitors to a site, sales page or product. The underlying theme appears to be 'easy to learn' lessons. The main product is a one hour interview with one of the SEO experts. There are also supplementary bonuses in the form of an e-book and 6 videos, all of which claim to offer further guides and need-to-know SEO tips. The full product is priced at $37. The main product seems to focus heavily on traffic generation. It implies that there will be useful information pertaining to various traffic generating methods. Judging from the descriptions of the supplementary content, there seems to be advanced SEO guidelines. This includes increasing the number of visitors using link-building, community development and catchy titles. The description of the product implies that this product is aimed at both beginners and more experienced users. Do note that the description of the product and its bonuses are written in teaser-style manner and thus, tend to be a bit vague.
There are no testimonials and reviews on the sales page. However, there are a few reviews of the product on the internet. All of them seem to be from affiliate marketers as opposed to end-users. Do note that there is a considerably more feedback and comments on the author's blog and twitter page. This type of feedback shows approachability from the side of the author and thus, reflects well on the product. The product comes with a 45-day money back guarantee. This, along with the customer support page, inspires some amount of confidence in the product.
Reputation
Basic SEO Tips does not have much of an online reputation. It is mentioned by a small number of affiliate marketers. At the same time, the product is featured on the author's own blog. The number of comments and feedback, both about his product and his ideas, reflect well on the quality and type of products created by this author.
Domain "Whois"
The Whois information for a website lists the owner and their contact information. The owner of "Basic SEO Tips" has purposely made their Whois information private. While not always a bad thing, this could mean they have something to hide.

Horrible Product
I felt sure that I had been scammed when I went through Basic SEO Tips around six months ago and couldn't find anything of use. The SEO methods are about five years outdated and can be found in early entries at some marketing forums. Since I spent around $37 for this I gave the SEO methods a go in one of my newly developed blogs and unsurprisingly I didn't see even a small increase in traffic and the PR I got was terrible, because most of the methods have already been tested long ago by other users. I don't think a beginner to internet marketing would be able to understand what Mr Crooks is jabbering away in his videos half the time. The only good thing that happened was that I got my money back quickly. I don't recommend this to anyone.

Not good even for beginners
I've read some positive feedback on Basic SEO Tips and thought that the product may actually be worth checking out. Unfortunately I proved to be wrong and wasted valuable time and money to learn outdated and not useful information. After receiving the course I started reading it right away just to find that there just isn't anything valuable in it. The information was absolutely vague and it is even less than basic like the title claims. The contents can be found on a wide variety of websites and all for free. The e-book in my opinion is not well made and the structuring could have been a lot better. I also found the videos to be of quite a low quality and didn't liked them at all. Maybe some years ago some of the methods could've been used, but now this is just impossible since now search engines won't allow it and it also isn't effective. The only positive thing about Basic SEO Tips is that I at least saw my money back thanks to PayPal. So overall when it comes to search engine optimization this is one of the products you should avoid in all cases. The efforts you will need to put into Basic SEO Tips are just not worth it. The product won't be helpful even to total beginners.

Basic and Outdated
I brought this eBook and I must say I was pretty much disappointed with this. The most frustrating thing about this eBook is that almost 90 % of the methods explained here are outdated and won’t work anymore. The major disadvantage of this eBook is that it will teach you the basic as well as completely outdated SEO methods. The fact is after implementation of New technology like Web 2,0 and . Net 3.0 the methods explained here are completely worthless. I have to say that if you really want to learn the best SEO methods and hang out in Warrior Forums and Money maker discussion forums. They are the best source of information from the real people who are using the methods. Save your money and stay out of this outdated Junk. Not worth the money and time.

Not worth it!
The title does say Basic Seo tips, but this stuff is beyond basic. This is another book with rehashed info from the net. I got this book from a friend and I'm glad I didn't buy it. Everything in the book can be easily found online. You have to be an extreme newbie to benefit from this book in my opinion. A lot of the strategies are outdated, and it's not very well presented. You can find a lot of quality seo material on the market for free, this is a complete waste of money. Save some money, and try something like black hat seo.

Outdated and waste of money
I bought this product from one of the affiliates of this product who scammed me saying that this product will teach me the complete basics of SEO, but unfortunately it was not the case. This guide is mediocre and to be pretty honest complete junk. The information is available for free all over the internet and another frustrating thing about this course is that the methods and techniques are completely outdated. Another frustrating thing about the product is that the information is outdated and Google and other search engines have changed their policies. If we apply the methods taught here I am sure you will be slapped by Search Engines because they completely ignore the Google policy. I immediately requested for the refund and I never heard back. But lucky I opened a dispute with PayPal and got my money refunded. Please stay away from this product. It’s completely useless and outdated.

Pretty simple techniques and Very initial level
I got this product with lots of expectations, but I was wrong. This product explains very basic techniques of SEO and you can find these techniques on many forums available on the internet now. There is no solid explanation for anything related to pure SEO. Not even mentioned about where to get backlinks quickly and what type of links for particular niches. So if you ask for summary then this product is not worth of it's cost, instead I would prefer to read various forum posts.

A very basic program
I purchased this package two months back to use SEO techniques on my newly built website. This is a very basic program and did not add much value to my existing knowledge. After reading thoroughly, I came to a conclusion that this product is only for newbies or the ones who do not know anything about SEO. But for professionals, this product is worthless to invest.

Not worth the money.
After purchasing this product, I've found that it was not worth the money. There are no "secrets" in this product. All the information provided is available for free online if you know what to search for. Just a waste of money in my opinion. Even the quality of the video on the sales pitch page is poor! There's a lot of feedback and it's not at all professional! That should tell you the quality of the product being "promoted".
