If there’s one unifying thread of digital communications, it’s search. Understanding how to optimize Web content for search is as critical to meeting your bottom-line goals as is knowing how to write Web content that supports your messaging. Knowing how to conduct a paid search and when to go the SEM route (and when not to) are factors that can have a make or break effect on a PR/marketing campaign. Certainly in this troubled economic environment, harnessing SEM and SEO to your advantage is a skill that cannot be underestimated. Mastering it should be your top priority as a PR professional and communicator.
Join us for a 90-minute workshop on leveraging search engine marketing and optimization strategies for your PR efforts. In this session, you will learn strategies for understanding search, executing successful SEM, writing effective social media press releases, improving your search rankings and much more.

- Creating a smart and cost-effective SEO and SEM strategy

The live audio is delivered to your location over the telephone or your computer speakers. The Power-Point presentations are presented over the Internet and are available to print out before the program. This is like a talk-radio program with visuals on the Web. You and your team will be able to have a live Q&A with all the speakers.
You need Real Player or Windows Media Player installed on your computer. If you do not have either, please follow the instructions below to download and install them. Or if you prefer, a phone for the audio and an Internet connection to let you watch the slides and other information on the Web will suffice. No other downloads or special hardware - a dial-up connection will work fine.

- One (1) toll-free connection to the seminar (if you select the audio connection.), and
- One (1) Internet connection to the seminar.
