Warmest Greetings,

What a High Rankings Search Engine Marketing Seminar is Really Like  

:: Friday, February 10, 2006 ::

"If you base your success on beating your competition, you are always following - never leading."

My favorite impression of the November 2005 High Rankings Search Engine Marketing Seminar, in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, came at the end of it. This is when a Question and Answer session with the seminar’s presenters was in progress and I was in the back of the room observing.

This is when it hit me. I really like the way these search engine marketing experts teach what they know to attendees.

They sit in chairs before an audience seated horse shoe style in front of them, at eye level. The Power Point screen is retired, Scottie Claiborne has pocketed her laser pointer, and Jill Whalen, Seminar Host, is just as relaxed as the way she writes to readers of her High Rankings Advisor newsletter.

For an hour the audience is offered the chance to ask questions about search engine optimization, get help for their own sites and, yes, a few even dared to ask if some SEO’s work in their pajamas.

If you work on a web site in any capacity, there’s a very good chance you’ve heard of at least of one these people:

Jill Whalen
Scottie Claiborne
Karon Thackston
Deb Mastaler
Matt Bailey
Christine Churchill

Each specializes in an area of search engine marketing or a combination of several skills applicable to making better web sites. For two days, they are accessible to attendees of the High Rankings Search Engine Marketing Seminar. This includes lunch, chats in the hallways or lobby and of course, the hotel pub later in the evening.

Day One

The High Rankings Seminars are offered in various spots around the United States throughout each year. I have attended two of them, one in Boston, Massachusetts and one in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Sometimes the venue may change. Here is a recap from the King of Prussia seminar.
