Ever wonder what the SEO pros know that you don’t? What tools they use every day that you don’t even know exist?

This virtual seminar isn’t about search engine optimization fundamentals. You won’t learn why links are important for rankings; you won’t learn how to justify SEO to your boss. What you will learn is how to take your search engine optimization skill set to the next level, even if you’re already a savvy search marketer.

Two renowned search marketing gurus will open up their toolkits, unveiling and demonstrating powerful tools and immediately actionable tactics. If it’s not practical, it won’t be in this seminar!

YOU WILL LEARN:

• How to gain higher rankings through Web 2.0, “The Long Tail,” blogs, social networks, widgets, APIs, spiders, and more
• The tools and techniques to ‘reverse engineer’ competing sites that outperform yours in Google
• Well-kept secrets that only the top SEO pros know
• How to take your search engine optimization skillset to the next level, even if you’re already a savvy search marketer

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
This session is for any marketer who wants in on the “secret sauce” to rocket past your competitors in the search results. A technical background is definitely not required, but helpful.

PRESENTERS:
Stephan Spencer, founder and president of Netconcepts
Rand Fishkin, co-founder and CEO of SEOmoz

PJ defines Keyword analytics tools as:

Keyword suggestion tools help you understand what words are used in search queries and what phrases are associated with those words. Keyword analytical tools provide some measure of keyword suggestion functionality, as well as the ability to understand the competition levels for specific search terms. More importantly, keyword analytics tools help you determine the relative size of the search referral market associated with specific keywords and phrases.

Google’s trademarked PageRank score, or the value it places on your home and interior pages is measured and displayed in the Google toolbar.

Ok, perhaps I’m being a bit provocative here, but sometimes it’s the off-topic, off-message, or off-brand content that earns you the most valuable links—links that you wouldn’t have otherwise gotten. Those links can really pay the bills, in terms of the extra search traffic and resulting sales. The brand police within your company may pitch a fit, but heck, it’ll be worth it! Here’s how it’s done:

I’ve run across a number of local business sites which offer event calendars of some sort, and many of these companies may not be aware that they can and should add hCalendar Microformat to their pages to further optimize them for both search and user experience. I’ve previously recommended hCard Microformat for optimizing local business sites, and hCalendar can offer similar advantages, particularly as the evolution of blended search results continues.

In this month’s edition of the SEO Report Card on Practical eCommerce, Netconcepts Jeff Muendel takes an in-depth look at Seenon.com, a celebrity fashion site. From home page content to what Jeff calls “an attractive and aggressive design,” this is a good website audit to read for the trendy and stylish.

This month’s report card website is Seenon.com, an ecommerce site that tracks the fashion tendencies of the famous and sells those garments and accoutrements to interested consumers. The site is pleasant to the eye and has an exciting, almost urgent feel to it, but how does it do in terms of search engine optimization? Not bad at all actually, and to that end, I thought it would serve as a good example of attractive and aggressive design that does not come at the expense of SEO.

If you’ve even remotely considered adding a blog for your eCommerce site, then this article is for you. In this article originally featured on Practical eCommerce, Jeff Muendel helps eCommerce business owners design a strategy behind blogging.

A focused, well-written blog can get readers hooked on the blog and promote repeat visits to the website or garner subscriptions via RSS feeds and email newsletters. These recurring communications will help to tie potential customers to your site, encourage natural link building and increase repeat visits. Journalists are also more likely to follow a blog or subscribe via RSS than to visit the corporate site repeatedly. So, several avenues of search optimization and online marketing can be addressed with a single blog entity.

From the SEO benefits of business blogging to how it can help your customers, Jeff covers the basics of “who, what and when” of blogging. Read the full article at Practical eCommerce here.
