Curriculum (Google Drive Proof)

If you could borrow the brain of one SEO expert who has consistently ranked for brutally competitive keywords, built a world-famous blog from scratch, and turned content into a traffic machine, would you do it?

That is essentially what “Brian Dean – SEO That Works 4.0” offers: direct access to the frameworks, processes, and thinking patterns behind Backlinko’s success, distilled into a step‑by‑step system you can apply to your own business.

And with TSCourses, you don’t just get that system—you get it at the lowest market price, with instant access and a 15‑day satisfaction guarantee. More on that in a moment. Let’s first unpack what makes this course so talked‑about in the SEO world.

Who is Brian Dean – and why does his course matter?

Brian Dean is the founder of Backlinko, one of the most cited SEO blogs in the world. His guides on link building, on‑page SEO, and content marketing have become industry benchmarks. Many marketers quietly admit they “learned SEO from Backlinko.”

He’s known for:

– Turning hyper-competitive keywords into page‑one rankings using unconventional content angles.
– Popularizing concepts like the Skyscraper Technique and “Power Pages” that countless agencies now use as standard practice.
– Teaching SEO with clarity, real data, and repeatable frameworks instead of vague theory.

SEO That Works 4.0 is Brian’s flagship program where he reveals the exact system he used to grow Backlinko and help thousands of students generate serious organic traffic and leads.

If you’re tired of fluffy “SEO tips” and want battle‑tested strategies from someone who has actually ranked in tough niches, this is the course that consistently stands out.

What makes SEO That Works 4.0 different from typical SEO courses

Most SEO courses follow the same pattern: keyword tools, on-page basics, a bit of link building theory, screenshots from Google Analytics, and… that’s about it.

SEO That Works 4.0 takes a very different angle:

1. Strategy, not random tactics
Instead of teaching you how to chase keywords in isolation, Brian focuses on building a strategic content and link building system. He shows you how to publish fewer pieces of content that generate more traffic, more links, and more leads than dozens of “ordinary” blog posts.

2. Power Pages and Linkreators
A core concept in the course is the idea of “Power Pages” – long‑form, strategically structured pieces of content designed to rank at the top of Google and naturally attract authority backlinks. These pages are engineered for “Linkreators”: the bloggers, journalists, and publishers in your niche who are likely to share and link to your content.

3. Modern SEO, not outdated tricks
The training is fully aligned with how search works today: user experience signals, search intent, dwell time, click-through rate, and content quality. You learn how to create assets that satisfy both algorithms and humans, so you’re not wiped out by the next update.

4. Promotion and outreach that actually get responses
Many SEOs publish great content but have no idea how to get it seen. SEO That Works spends serious time on content promotion and outreach – email scripts, relationship building with authority sites, and strategies to earn links from big players in your space.

Inside the curriculum: what you actually learn

While the course is structured into several modules, here’s the essence of what you’ll walk away with:

The Foundation: A new way to think about SEO
You start by discarding outdated assumptions. Brian explains why generic keyword‑stuffed posts don’t rank anymore and shows you the frameworks he uses instead. You learn:

– How to identify “Linkreators” in your niche.
– How to find topics they already love to share and link to.
– Why “medium‑tail keywords” often outperform chasing extremes.
– How to clean up “dead weight” pages that hurt your overall site authority and focus your domain on content that moves the needle.

Creating Your Power Page
This is where the core of the system comes alive. You discover:

– Power Page content frameworks such as Go-To Guidebooks, Expanded List Posts, Crowdsourced Manuals, and more.
– “Share Triggers” – psychological principles you build into your content to increase shares, links, and engagement.
– How to turn a common problem in your niche into a unique “trademark technique” or method that positions you as the go‑to expert.
– Step‑by‑step structures for creating content that is immediately actionable, easy to implement, and impossible for competitors to ignore.

Link Building 2.0 and promotion
Rather than teaching outdated bulk outreach or spammy link schemes, Brian shows you how to:

– Build real relationships with authority sites and influencers in your niche.
– Use targeted outreach that feels personal and gets replies.
– Promote your Power Pages systematically to generate links, shares, and traffic.
– Leverage virality triggers to dramatically increase the reach of your content and even produce viral articles or videos.

UX signals, internal structure, and scaling up
The course also dives into:

– User experience signals Google pays attention to: dwell time, click-through rate, pogo‑sticking, and how to improve them with better content design and intent matching.
– Strategic internal linking (“authority sculpting”) to push rankings for your important commercial pages.
– Processes to scale content production and outreach so you’re not dependent on random bursts of motivation.

Bonus content and community
Students get access to:

– In‑depth bonus interviews with leading experts in different marketing and business fields.
– A private community (historically a Facebook group) where students share results, ask questions, and learn from each other’s campaigns.

The result is a complete system: from choosing topics and building Power Pages, to promotion, link acquisition, and scaling.

Real student results and feedback

The strongest proof for any SEO course is what happens in the wild once students apply it.

Here is a snapshot of feedback and results from people who’ve implemented SEO That Works:

– One agency owner reported ranking on page 1 for a keyword with 65,000 monthly searches after applying the system, calling the course “worth every penny” and noting a massive gap between cheap SEO courses and this premium training.
– By following Brian’s strategies, the same practitioner generated over 36,000 visitors to a single client’s website from one piece of content and an additional 50,000 visitors across clients over a few months.
– Graduates have reported their content being shared by names like Tim Ferriss and featured on major platforms like HubSpot, which would be nearly impossible using basic SEO tactics.
– SEO That Works has already had thousands of students complete the program, with “tons of great graduate reviews” and a strong reputation as one of the most effective SEO training programs on the market.

Common themes in student feedback include:

– “I wish I’d joined sooner” – many initially hesitated because of the premium price, then later realized the ROI from even a single successful campaign covered the investment.
– “No fluff” – students repeatedly mention that the course is tightly structured, practical, and loaded with actionable examples.
– “A new way of thinking about content” – people stop publishing random blog posts and start creating strategic Power Pages that attract links and traffic on autopilot.
