Great event. Chris was awesome. He was also a very good sport during some hostile questioning. -
Jerry ShapiroChris gave an outstanding introduction to the value of blogging to the SEO ranking of your site. He also updated us on the diminished value of your site as a destination, the fact that SEM accounts for only 16% of online activity while 80% of it is search, which itself is up 43% over last year. He urged us to find the 250 keywords that draw prospects to our site, to put up a separate blog on our site for each keyword, and to provide content on each blog that solves the customer's problem. The blog should be organized around the customers' needs, and not your products. He provided fresh insights into how potential customers use the web, and encouraged us to think beyond web analogs of paper products like catalogs and newsletters.

Kiril Stefan AlexandrovExcellent speaker once again, very knowledgable and presented a very compelling new way to casting a wide net to grab traffic. New conceptual idea and the software that creates this opportunity was very interesting and thought-provoking. Moderator Todd Bairstow did an excellent job of shepherding the conversions in a focused and interesting way that everyone could learn and participate without wasting time on items that everyone already knew. Very efficient handling and all around a very satisfying and engaging experience that left us all smarter and more informed than before.

Claude PelanneChris Baggott gave a very informative presentation about the Compendium blogging software platform even without the benefit of a projector. The comments and questions from the group were also very educational. An evening well worth it as always.
-
Richard PettiI learned a number of very useful activities and suggestions for improving our blog. I also gained a better understanding of how blogs and websites fit together, and how search engines are treating blogs.

Nice to read 9 positive reviews about the speaker with solid attendance. Sorry I couldn't make it while on vacation in Hawaii.
But Mahalo to Todd from KeywordAdvisors.com for stepping up to help out at the event & Chris for flying in to share your expert blogging knowledge.
