The search algorithms of Google, Yahoo, and MSN power about 95% of all Web search queries, making high-ranking search listings in these three engines a marketer’s dream. With over 70% of search result clickthroughs going to the natural (unpaid) search results pages and the “implied endorsement” that goes with a top natural listing, it’s essential that marketers gain mastery in natural search optimization. Besides, where else can you reach such high penetration to highly qualified prospects at zero cost per click?

While natural search listings deliver untold millions in sales to some of the Web’s savviest online retailers, most Web sites are not properly designed to reach this market. How can you adjust or revamp your site so that the engines will love it?

Join Stephan Spencer, President of Netconcepts, Shaun Ryan, CEO of SLI Systems, and Joan Broughton, VP - Multi-Channel Programs at REI during this rich presentation to learn the essential strategies of putting the search engines to work for your Web site. You’ll learn the secrets of how to:

• Estimate missed opportunity costs
• Sell your SEO initiative to upper management then resource it effectively
• Ensure the search engine spiders crawls 100% of your site, including dynamic pages
• Design your pages to dominate rankings
• Build your importance score and pass it on effectively using your internal hierarchical linking structure
• Check your site’s natural search “pulse”
• Avoid getting banned/penalized by the engines
• Leverage your internal site search for search engine fodder
• …and much more!

Join us for an information-packed hour of concrete advice, definitive answers, best and worst practices, real-life examples, and interactive critiques.

Before Google arrived on the scene the value of searching was totally underestimated. Google’s mission is to organise the www’s information and make it accessible. Search engines are the 2nd most popular use of the web, behind emails. The future as seen by Google founder Larry Page: “the ultimate search engine would understand exactly what you mean and give back exactly what you’ve been trying to achieve”. It is expected to see companies changing current online ads to more measureable search engine marketing type ads.
