SEO Workshop with Jill Whalen in Walnut Creek

I've often been asked by clients (and recently by corporate headhunters) how I learned so much about search engine optimization and marketing. The simplest answer for me is - passion for the topic. But the truth is that I started by attending every conference, workshop and tutorial, while voraciously reading every search engine newsletter, trolling search engine forums and now reading every search related blog I can find.

After reading Jill Whalen's excellent search engine marketing newsletter this week, I contacted her to ask about using one of her articles on my own site. She told me about her workshop coming to California and offered my readers a 25% discount on the cost of that two day event.

I highly recommend that you go if you are anywhere near San Francisco or can convince the boss to send you there. They've arranged for a great hotel room rate if you mention the event as you check in at the workshop venue.
