More importantly, we hope were able to help these great organizations learn facets and techniques for search engine optimization that will help them be found by those who need them most in the search engines. Judging by some of the feedback we received, it seems our mission was accomplished.

The great thing about speaking to such a small group of people, for us as presenters, is that we were able to field specific questions from every audience member who raised them and we were able to do a quick review of all their sites at the end of the day to give them a set of items they could immediately work on after the class to improve their search engine rankings.

Additionally, the networking hour after the event held at a local pub, courtesy of WebmasterWorld allowed us to have some “down time” with the attendees, share more informal advice and information and allowed the attendees to get a mini-taste of what it is like to network at an SEO event. We have a feeling we’ll be seeing some of these people again at the larger conferences in the future (especially since some of them told us that would be the case!).

We’re looking very forward to our next SEO Class, which is a two day hands on workshop open to both non profit and for profit companies. Registration for that workshop will begin soon, so check back for that announcement!

All of the SEO Class presenters are active members and/or moderators at WebmasterWorld and have long known the value the forum brings to both novices and experts alike and we are excited to have them as a sponsor the first two SEO Class events.
