SEO Seminar – New Venue Needed

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Last night’s seminar titled Marketing Your Business Website was a success. We had a wide variety of attendees, from a real estate agent, to a wildlife removal guy to a landscaper.

I really enjoy teaching at these events, and am now reaching a saturation point where the current venue is too small.  Every one of my seminars are now packed – and there’s a waiting list just as long.  So I’m looking to expand a bit, as well as perhaps move to a more central area near Kirkwood or West County/Clayton.

I’d love to partner up with a restaurant that could cater an event, perhaps in exchange for a large room with seating for up to 50.

If you can help me with a place (preferably with wireless broadband), I’ll bring the people.  Contact me and let’s work out a deal.

Current upcoming seminars (sorry they are full, but you can get on the waiting list in case there are cancellations)

Marketing Your Business Website – Feb 25
Social Media for Business – Feb 26

St Louis – Upcoming Free SEO Seminar

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

If you’re in the Saint Louis area, or will be in the area around mid February, make sure you sign up for my free seminar on Marketing Your Business Website.  This will probably be the last time I do this seminar for free.  Seating is limited so don’t wait!

Seminar Shout Outs

Today was my last SEO seminar for the year, and I wanted to thank all of the people that attended.  We had a great time and the reviews were all positive.

I’d like to give a shout out to Larry over at Diversified Packaging, Jeanette at Crafts by You, and Chris at Home Furniture Savings.

Were you at the seminar? Let me know and I’d be glad to throw ya a free link =)

Bloggers Need to (at least) Understand SEO

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Tonight I had the pleasure of speaking with Jaelithe Judy, the writer who will be moderating the upcoming SEO panel that I’ll be sitting on (along with Ellen Gooch) next week.  She has great charisma and I can tell this is going to be a fun session.  Since we are expecting a crowd of mostly personal, professional and corporate bloggers, the session will focus around that audience.  Without giving away all the topics we’ll discuss, here is a “10,000ft view” of what is to come.

  • How understanding SEO basics can increase your readership numbers
  • Why sploggers want to steal your content (and how it can affect your bottom line)
  • Why businesses are hiring full-time bloggers
  • What the long tail is (and how knowing what it is can increase your blogs revenue)
  • Some of the latest changes Google has made and how they can affect your rankings

Oh, we’ve got lots more, including a nice list of resources that will help our audience get more traffic, more effectively promote their blog, or make more money from their website.  And we’ll be taking questions from the audience!

The panel will be just one of many Interactive sessions to attend this week in St. Louis at the Play:StL festival. Some of the other sessions (some of which sound pretty cool to me) include Cyberbullying, Business and Social Media, and even one on the dreaded CSS (yukk!)

Get a wristband for the festival at a host of local places, and half your money will go to LiveFeed.  If you come the SEO panel, please take a moment to introduce yourself, I’d love to meet you!
