Chicago, IL (PRWEB) September 25, 2007

SEO-PR and Searching for Profit today announced that they will offer an SEO training class focused on “Getting found in all the right places” following the Search Engine Strategies Conference & Expo 2007 in Chicago (http://www.searchenginestrategies.com/chicago/training.html). Greg Jarboe of SEO-PR and Amanda Watlington of Searching for Profit will teach the half-day search engine optimization training class at the Chicago Hilton on Friday, December 7, 2007, following the SES Chicago event.

According to Jarboe, “Universal search changes everything! The advent of Google’s Universal Search has been called the most radical change to its search results ever.”

Watlington adds, “So, how do you take advantage of Google’s new approach, which blends listings from news, blog, video, and image search among those it gathers from web search? In other words, how do you get found in all the right places?”

The SEO training class, which will run from 8 a.m. to noon, is designed to answer these questions. It is for public relations professionals as well as search engine marketers, who both need to understand how to optimize content for Google News, Yahoo! News, Google Blog Search, Technorati, Google Image Search, Flickr, YouTube, Yahoo! Video and a growing variety of other sites.

During this workshop, participants will learn how to:

Pick target keywords for news, blog, image, video and web search engines;
Position keywords in crucial locations;
Create original and unique content of genuine value, including text, images and video;
Avoid search engine stumbling blocks;
Build inbound links intended to help people find interesting, related content;
Just say no to search engine spamming;
Submit a Sitemap, RSS feeds, and videos to search engines and directories;
Verify and maintain listings; and
Go beyond web search engines to include key vertical search engines.

After attending this half-day workshop, search engine marketers and public relations professionals will be able to optimize, distribute and measure:

Press releases
RSS feeds
Images
Video files

The SEO training class can be taken in addition to the Search Engine Strategies Chicago conference, which runs December 3-6, 2007, or independently. There is an additional cost to attend – a half-day pass is 5.

Atlanta Search Engine Marketing Company Selected as a Finalist for the 2012 AMY Awards

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 22, 2012

Prominent Placement, a leading Atlanta search engine marketing company, was selected as a finalist in the Paid Search and Integrated Search Marketing categories for this year’s Atlanta Marketer of the Year (AMY) Awards presented by the Atlanta Chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA).

The winners will be announced at the AMY Awards Gala on March 29, 2012 at the Fox Theatre. Each year these awards recognize corporate and agency marketing professionals in the Atlanta area who have left an impression on the industry with innovation and outstanding results in marketing campaigns.

Prominent Placement has been named a finalist or winner every time the company has submitted an entry since 2003. The Paid Search category recognizes the best paid search campaign incorporating innovative pay-per-click campaign techniques, used to improve campaign results. The Integrated Search Marketing category recognizes the best use of two or more search marketing techniques, which can include paid, SEO, contextual search, mobile search, video search, feeds, local search, and/or search re-targeting.

This year Prominent Placement was selected for its work for The List, Inc. for “A Comprehensive PPC Campaign Overhaul to Reduce Cost Per Lead by 33%,” and Edgewater Fullscope for “Straightforward and Integrated Search Marketing Strategy Produces Robust Results.”

The List is the leading online business intelligence and sales lead generation resource for those in the marketing services and media industries. It is targeted at agencies hunting for new business, professional sports teams and events looking for corporate sponsorships, and ad sales teams of media companies; a rather specialized and niche audience. Because of the outstanding quality, The List is more expensive than its competitors, so PPI’s challenge was to aim the campaign directly at the target audience: ad agencies and corporate marketers, while “weeding out” searchers who wouldn’t need and couldn’t afford the service. During the campaign, PPI was able to reduce cost per paid lead to below 0 and increase rate of qualified leads to 70 percent or better.

David Currie, Chief Marketing Officer of The List, says, “The restructuring of our paid search program in 2011 aligned with our marketing messaging and target audience goals and, in turn, attracted like visitors – business development executives looking for accurate sales intelligence, prospect contact information and insight for advertisers and brands across North America.”

Edgewater Fullscope is an award-winning Microsoft Dynamics AX partner in North America who helps mid-sized to large enterprise manufacturers with enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementations. Fullscope partnered with Prominent Placement to increase search-referred leads. The search marketing program exceeded objectives resulting in a 16% increase in search-referred traffic, and a 239% increase in search-referred inquiries year over year.

“Prominent Placement helped us plan and execute a very effective on-going SEM program that has been well received by our executive team,” said Jamie Bracewell, Fullscope director of marketing. “Our success has justified our continued investment in SEM as a viable strategy for our business.”

About Prominent Placement:

Prominent Placement is an award-winning Atlanta search engine marketing company that grows sales pipelines for clients nationwide by increasing online brand awareness. As a pioneer in pay-per-click and search engine optimization services, we consistently deliver ROI that traditional marketing channels can’t touch, with a level of client service that raises the bar.

Backlink Service Educates on How Search Engine Statistics Relate to Online Sales for 2012

Search Engine Optimization

Dublin, Ireland (PRWEB) March 20, 2012

There are millions of search engine searches per day, requiring online companies to think about how they can land on top and generate increased traffic to their websites. As the summer 2012 retail season approaches, Backlink Service aims to provide their clients with some accurate numbers regarding search engine results and offers an effective way to increase their clients’ online presence to generate a higher level of traffic which can convert to greater sales. Backlink Service both provides an excellent service and expert analysis to their clients due to their success in the industry.

Forrester Research reports that the major internet search engines average around 300 million individual searches on a daily basis. In the same report, Forrester Research said that 81% of consumers on the Internet find products and services using Search Engines. Search engine optimization (SEO) can help websites succeed in a higher search engine placement and increase the number and sources of qualified traffic who are actively searching for a website’s products, services, or information. StatMarkey.com also released a recent study that shows that only 7% of all websites are visible on search engines which is a significantly low percentage.

What many people don’t realize is that the most impactful component of search engine optimization is backlinks. A backlink is quite simply a HTML hyper link pointing an individual from one website to another. The number of backlinks a website has is an indication of the popularity or the importance of that website or page. In turn, major search engines’ algorithms heavily weighs this popularity to determine a website’s PageRank when certain key words are searched. The higher a website’s PageRank, the greater visibility and presence it has for targeted searches.

Kris Reid, owner of Backlink Service says, “many websites are created offering great products and services or a wealth of great information, but owners of websites often wonder why the content of their websites alone is not generating any traffic. Owners which have tapped into search engine optimization through backlink creation seem to always be surprised by how far a small investment will go with generating traffic to their website. Targeting the right traffic also leads to an increase in conversion rate through capturing the traffic of those who have purchase intent.”

Backlink Service provides its customers with all types of backlinks which follow the current trends and lead to greater traffic, a higher conversation rate and a better reputation for its customers. For more information on backlinking services and current trends please contact Backlink Service through email or by phone

Backlink Service is one of the highest ranked backlink companies by Google and offers premium, effective backlinks through a variety of bundled packages. Backlink Service focuses on providing the most important backlinks including .EDU backlinks, .GOV backlinks, and High PageRank links to its customer. While primarily a backlinking company, Backlink Services offers many other value-added services, tools and resources for its clients. These include search engine ping notification, continued pinging, index notification, customer service consulting, a backlink checker to use for your company and to check up on the competition, a web position tool, and a PageRank checker to efficiently find the Pagerank of domains of individual pages.

Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) January 22, 2012

Small business owners are invited to sign up at http://www.AjaxUnion.com/webinar for an upcoming reputation management webinar hosted by Ajax Union, an internet marketing agency located in Brooklyn, N.Y. Designed to help business owners take advantage of online PR and multimedia outreach, the local internet marketing webinar will be Ajax Union’s third in three weeks, following two successful social media webinars.

“After receiving record turnouts two weeks in a row, we thought, ‘What else do people need to know about small business internet marketing?’ And based on industry trends and the needs we’ve observed among our own clients, PR and reputation management came in at the top of the list,” said Sarah Mogin, the PR & Social Media manager at the internet marketing agency.

Reputation management is becoming increasingly important for both businesses and professionals, Mogin noted, as more and more consumers and businesspeople check out potential purchases and ventures on Google before making a commitment. Negative reviews on Yelp or ResellerRatings.com, in addition to unfavorable press coverage, can make-or-break a searcher’s decision, a reality that the SEO company is helping its clients overcome via online PR and multimedia sharing efforts.

“We’re excited to share some of the same strategies we use in-house for our clients with business owners that may not know where to begin when it comes to successfully maintaining an online brand. After the webinar, some of our attendees may try to use their newfound knowledge to tackle their own reputation management issues, while others will consider employing online marketing companies such as our as a time- and cost-effective alternative,” said Oberhammer, a Marketing Communication Specialist for the search engine agency.

The upcoming webinar will cover the significance of online PR for both reputation management and as a method to bolster an existing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) campaign. Beyond the why, the internet marketing agency will also cover the how, revealing tips on how to craft effective press releases and where to send them. Beyond press releases, Mogin and Oberhammer will discuss the value of multimedia outreach to small business internet marketing.

“A lot of people think in text when it comes to search engine results, but images and videos can be a potent way to revive your online reputation. Search engines like Google favor multimedia results, which is why our SEO company posts images and videos when attempting to overcome an unfavorable consumer review or other negative listing,” Mogin said.

Offering a wide range of national and local internet marketing services, Ajax Union is located online at http://www.AjaxUnion.com, and representatives can also be reached by phone at 800-594-0444. The SEO company keeps its fans and followers up-to-date about its free webinars and other events on Facebook and Twitter, at http://www.facebook.com/AjaxUnion and http://twitter.com/AjaxUnion, respectively.
