Investor carrot SEO is powered by a company called Generation Web, which touts that their CEO is "1 of 50 who are SEO certified" - in 10 years in the industry, I've never heard of an SEO certification - is there anyone from Investor Carrot who can fill me in on what this certification is, and who certifies the applicants?

Thanks for listening and I hope to have many more conversations in the future from this site.
