What Participants Said
Of the participants who evaluated this seminar, 92% would recommend it to a colleague. Some of their comments:
"The seminar offered a great deal of relevant information as well as free tools - where to find them and how they work! As someone who does not dealt with links and SEO, it was almost more info than I could relate to but it armed me with info that I need to talk about linking with our website team."
"Great overview of how to improve your page rankings with lots of examples of do's and don'ts."
"If you're paying - or about to hire - an seo expert, learn the ropes first by listening to this. Some of the 'no-no's he described are tactics our seo company used!"
"Good content of industry knowledge. A lot of material."
"Great content, very useful tool references, solid best practices. And no marketing fluff or veiled vendor pitches. Got straight to the meat. Probably the best webinar I've attended."
