Blog & Website Optimization
Fall Asleep Doing a Google Search For Your Website?...Don’t miss this NSA Las Vegas Chapter Meeting!
My presentation will give you the tools to dramatically increase your presence in a Google search and more importantly-How to turn visitors into paying Gigs!! Bringing your marketing material online is the single, most important step to dramatically improving your chances to get booked. I’ll share with you the three most important guests you must invite to your online party…Google, Yahoo and MSN! Please bring your marketing materials, laptops and all your SEO questions-What is SEO? It stands for search engine optimization and a simple translation is: “How do I get on the first page of a Google search”?
- Some of the topics I’ll cover include:
- Website Optimization-It’s worth the effort to be on the first page of a Google search. An April 2006 study by iProspect & Jupiter Research found that: 62% of search engine users click on a search result within the first page of results, 90% within the first three pages.
- Questions you must ask any web designer before you hire them. Hint, show me the last three sites you worked on and where they shop up in a Google search!
- Can Google find my Website or blog? Immediate steps you can take to increase your web presence-without having to hire anyone.
- Are keywords relevant today? What are my best keywords? What material must be “above the fold” on a website? Is keyword density relevant today? What about Meta tags?
- What are the biggest SEO myths out there today?
- Why the top 100 A list bloggers use WordPress for blogging-and why you might consider joining them!
Who else besides Steve’s mom thinks he has a great presentation:
Our owners and members rated your presentation as EXCELLENT and included comments that you were very easy to understand and follow. Overall, the presentation exceeded our expectations as well as our members’ expectations. Our Board of Directors met briefly afterwards and stated that you were one of the best speakers they have ever had and complimented me on finding you to speak.
