Search Engine Strategies (SES) Brings Search Engine Marketing (SEM/SEO) Training to Dallas

Posted on: Monday, 22 September 2008, 15:00 CDT

US Internet advertising will not only be more resilient than traditional media, it will grow. In fact, in 2009, 10% of all US ad dollars will go online. To experience firsthand the continuous developments in search engine strategy and ensure they stay ahead of the competition, consultants, site designers, website owners, and in-house marketing professionals cannot afford to miss the SES Search Engine Marketing (SEM/SEO) Training Workshops taking place in Dallas on September 26. The in-depth training sessions are conducted in a small class setting, allowing instructors to be readily accessible for informal one-on-one or small group discussions.

The following four intensive workshops will give attendees the necessary skills and tools to improve business results no matter where they are in the SEO and SEM process:

-- Search Engine Optimization Workshop: A search-engine friendly Web site is a user-friendly, search-friendly, and persuasive site that converts visitors into buyers. It also must meet the terms and conditions set forth by the search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN Search, Ask, etc.) Additionally, the site must satisfy the needs of site visitors. Ultimately, the site must be profitable for the Web site owner. Can a single site satisfy all of these groups? This workshop will demonstrate that SEO skills are essential for building a user-friendly, search-friendly, and persuasive site that converts visitors into buyers.

-- Landing Page Testing Hands On: Developing Your Action Plan: Changes in landing page efficiency can dramatically improve the profitability of your online marketing programs. This fast-paced and practical hands-on training will provide you with a crash course in landing page optimization and testing. It will also allow you to develop a personal action plan that is tailored to your specific business.

-- The SEO Toolbox Crash Course: 131 Competitive Webmaster Tools: Anyone involved with search engine optimization needs a toolbox filled with tools to extract the necessary information about a website to diagnose and remedy problems. During this session, you will learn about the different types of information that are most important to a site's ranking, and how to identify them with a set of tools. We will look at tools for competitive analysis, on-page optimization, page level information, site level information, indexing information, and off-page information.

-- Making Pay Per Click Pay - Best Practices in Pay Per Click Advertising: There are many diverse components to a pay per click campaign, but all have to work together to achieve the best return. This training will familiarize attendees with a multitude of paid advertising subjects and will cover material for both the beginner and experienced advertiser. Attendees will learn about the paid search landscape - the players and the many paid search advertising options available. The course also covers the steps involved in setting up and optimizing a paid campaign to ensure that every click counts.
