Barista Cafe (map)

Selected By: Raaj Paatkar

First of all let me thank all of you who attended the last Mumbai SEO/SEM meetup in May 2009 and made it a great sharing experience. I had been getting many requests for scheduling the next meetup, and finally we will be holding the 4th SEO/SEM meetup in Mumbai on Saturday, August 1, 2009. I hope that the heavy rains in Mumbai will subside by then.

There is no entry fee for this meeting, but you'll have to pay for your own drinks/food. This will be a good opportunity for networking, exchanging ideas, finding business partners - for all professionals and freelancers in the fields of Search Engine Marketing, Search Engine Optimization, Internet Marketing and Website Design.

Mr. Sanat Hegde, from Astech Solutions would be heading a discussion on Semantic web designing and its implications on SEO.

Date and Time : Saturday, August 1, 2009 : 10: 30 am ~
Location : Barista Cafe
15 A Jilkar House, Keluskar Road,
Next to Scout's Pavillion, Shivaji Park North,
Dadar West, Mumbai

Please call me at [masked], if you get lost.

    Hi Raj,

    Can you give us a short focused talk on the benefits that SEO brings to a website?

    Are Joomla or Wordpress SEO plugins any good?

    I'd also be especially happy to hear something about SEM as well. Do give us one of your success stories. It's always a pleasure to hear you speak.

    Regards,

    Ivan Bayross

    Thanks for your comments. Mr. Ivan you are welcome to shoot your questions - We will also have Mr. Sanat to talk about semantic website design and its impact on SEO. Mr. Masoom, it is very difficult to find a cafe which is not noisy or crowded during the evenings - that's why the meetups are planned in the morning.

    Mr. Raaj, What's the agenda of the meet up? It would be great if we could have a discussion on SEO startups,since there are many people who are running or thinking of starting up a SEO consultancy firm.
    Looking forward to connect with everyone, and get some useful tips. I would also love to discuss about how web 2.0 social media is leading to a dearth of seo practises.

    Hi all - I have attended all SEO Mumbai meets, this being my 4th SEO Meetup. A sincere thanks to Raaj for giving us the platform to interact. He having almost 2 decades of IT experience shared some of the untold secrets of SEO. Ranking in Google and SEO is all about applying a technique quick before others follow - & this you can learn only from the experts - NOT from static BOOKS @@@ -- Thanks Raaj and I look forward for more such meet up under you @@

    It was a good Meetup, nice to share thoughts and interact with first timers coming for meetup. Also it was good to see people coming from different profiles: SEO's, Visionary, Entrepreneurs, Web Designers, developers,Franchise and Startup Enthusiast and Advertisers. Sanat Hegde gave us good insight abt SEO/SEM, also advantages of using CSS was discussed. Effective marketing via Social Media along with SEO/SEM drives the traffic & sales too. Mr. Raaj looking forward for next Meetup with more speakers coming up & sld be else where than cafe.

    This was the first SEO / SEM meetup that I have ever been to and I must say that it was a very good experience. It gave me a chance to meet other firms and individuals who are looking for the same thing as me SEO tips. The venue was changed today due to construction at Barista which basically divided the group into two parts. The right wing and the left wing. This did not give us a chance to experience the potential and thoughts of the entire group. All in all this was a good meet and I hope we can do it once again. I would also like to know if - next time we should set up a seminar or a tutorial on SEO techniques. Thank You for coming and I will see you'll next time. Until then Cheers.

    Excellent platform to share information, ideas with professionals in the field We all need to work on making it little more structured. A proper gathering facility is call of the day - where everyone can listen to the speakers, share their views. But overall, it was a good experience.
