The New York SEO Class Pro Bono Workshop Wrap Up
A few weeks ago we held the inaugural SEO Class Workshop which was only open to non profit organizations. We’re glad to report that the class was a success and that we got to meet a lot of great people, with great websites who are doing fantastic things for the community.
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!

This workshop was fantastic! Although I am a novice to the world of SEO, I read about a dozen SEO blogs and considered myself reasonably well-informed. Attending this convention gave me about a years worth of blog reading condensed into one day, and made me realize I didn’t know much at all.
I would recommend SEO Class to anyone looking to profit off a website. The intimate setting is something you can’t get at one of the bigger conferences, and you can’t put a value on the kind of insider information presented, particularly at the networking event after the workshop. Tipsy SEO gurus give the best advice.
Also, for anyone interested in PPC advertising, I thought Brad’s lecture on PPC was the most informative part of the workshop, considering how much money it can save anyone with a PPC campaign.

I am a strong believer in SEO education. Organizations need to eventually have at least a basic understanding of search engine optimization in order to manage their content as it is developed and set guidelines for their employees to follow. SEO Class is a great place to learn for those who are serious and gain experience from industry experts.
