guide to basic ecommerce seo
DESCRIPTION
SEO – short for search engine optimization, is a complex and constantly changing subject. Unfortunately it’s often hard to know where to start and where to get information. Does the latest SEO tactic you’re reading about work or will that get you banned from the search engines forever? Should I do SEO myself or should I hire out? We all know that we need to ‘do’ SEO if we want our web sites to show up in the search engines but we don’t know where to begin. The bottom line is that SEO can be a very confusing and frustrating task for online sellers. Add to that all the misinformation readily available online. Who to believe and where do you start? What tools do I need? What training is available? Pat Pepe, an online seller for 15 years and the education director for the Internet Merchants Association, will be presenting a guide for anyone that wants to learn the basics of SEO. Join her as she gives you what you need to start optimizing your ecommerce site today.TRANSCRIPT
