New search engine conferences and workshops

(June 21 2002, update June 23, July 3 and July 16) You can learn a lot by surfing the Net, reading the news and taking part in online discussions.

Still, on a search engine conference you may discuss the nitty gritty of searching and marketing with people who are just as enthusiastic about search engines as you are; you will get valuable contacts, the latest buzz, and the search engine representatives will tell you all the amazing secrets they never print in their news releases.

Here are some of the search engine conferences you may visit in the coming months:

Search Engine Workshop, Denver, Colorado

Search engine optimization experts Robin Nobles and John Alexander will arrange another 3-day SEO workshop in Denver, Colorado, on July 29 to 31 2002.

Noble and Alexander will give introductions to topics like search phrase research, writing for search engine robots, search engine submission, building content rich gateway information pages, the use of various SEO tools and more.

The fee includes private consultations. Upon successfully completing this 3-day program, participants will be examined and awarded a "certification of skills" in Search Engine Optimization and Marketing.

Search Engine Strategies 2002 California and Germany

Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Watch regularly arranges conferences on search engines and search engine marketing on both sides of the Atlantic.

Among the topics covered are buying paid listings, selecting a search engine marketing firm, writing for search engines, managing paid placement listings, running your own enterprise search engine, and successful site architecture.
