Review for IMSD - Internet Marketing Specialist Designation

I went through the IMSD designation course online about 18 months ago. Their courses on social media, SEO, lead capture, etc. were good, but these days there are a plethora of ways to get the same information. Plus, it seemed a lot of the training was done through the lens of the MarketLeader platform. I did not really see any tangible "benefit" of attaching the IMSD to my name; I cannot say that it gained me any additional business. In my opinion, the entry price and annual renewal fees are a little steep for this.
