Susan Hallam will be facilitating a "Birds of a Feather " session on Getting Found in Google: Blogging and search engine optimisation.
You're writing a great blog, and now you need to get more visitors. How can people find your blog? Search engines!
Search engine optimisation is the process of making your blog "findable" in Google, Yahoo and MSN, with the result of getting more visitors. This session will be led by Susan Hallam and we'll discuss some basic optimisation tips and practical steps you can take to get indexed and found in the search engines.
There are bursaries available for small businesses in the East Midlands, covering conference fees.
