SEO-PR Co-Founder Offers Press Release SEO Training Class at Search Engine Strategies (SES) Conference & Expo in London

London, UK – SEO-PR and Incisive Interactive Marketing today announced that they will offer a press release SEO training class at the Search Engine Strategies (SES) Conference & Expo 2007 in London.

Greg Jarboe, the president and co-founder of SEO-PR, will teach one of the four half-day search training classes at the ExCeL London on Monday, Feb. 12, the day before the SES 2007 event opens.

Matt McGowan, Vice President of Marketing of Incisive Interactive Marketing, said, “based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback we received on our search training classes in San Jose, CA, and Chicago, IL, last year, we have decided to expand SES London to include a day of dedicated intensive workshop training. These classes can be taken in addition to the conference or independently. The added training day has been created to provide attendees with guided, hands–on exposure that puts theory into practice in a highly interactive environment.”

McGowan added, “each of our workshop providers is a leader in their respective field. This includes SEO-PR’s Greg Jarboe, the industry’s top expert in press release SEO. He is a frequent speaker at Search Engine Strategies and a correspondent for the Search Engine Watch Blog.”

The press release SEO training class is for managers and professionals in SEO firms, PR agencies, and communications departments. After attending this half-day workshop, participants will be able to:

*Conduct keyword research to find 2 to 3 relevant news search terms that their target audience is likely to use.
*Make sure their release actually includes their target terms – particularly in headline and first few sentences.
*Add hyperlinks intended to help people find interesting, related content, when applicable.
*Use press release distribution service crawled by Yahoo! News and Google News.
*Measure results of their campaign – whether their objective is to build brand awareness, increase web site traffic, generate sales leads, or sell products online.

Jarboe added, “the training classes are very different from the conference sessions at SES. The workshops provide in-depth training in a small class setting, which means instructors are readily accessible for informal one-on-one or small group discussions. The conference provides a unique setting to network with fellow marketers and search engine industry professionals to discuss the trends in search engine marketing. This combination provides a high impact learning environment.”

The press release SEO training class can be taken in addition to the Search Engine Strategies London conference, which runs February 13-15, 2007, or independently. Participants should bring a wireless laptop computer. The hands-on portion of the workshop will also be more valuable if each participant can submit a recent press release or a draft press release in advance.
