Have you heard that it’s important to “optimize your content for search engines” – but you have no idea how to do it? Do prospects visit your site and leave without buying? Now, you can take control of your site – and learn the secrets to creating top-positioned Web content that informs, engages – and makes your company money!

Bend WebCAM, the mind-blowing Web, Creative and Marketing conference scheduled for September 30 – October 1, 2010 has added yet another amazing speaker to its already stellar line up. Jason Bagley, Creative Director on Old Spice’s world-famous “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” campaign has been confirmed as a keynote speaker on Thursday, September 30 at the Tower Theatre in downtown Bend, Oregon.

July’s SEMpdx networking event promises to be a good one, as we try out a new venue. There’s no charge to attend this one, and no “education” beyond that which you’ll get from hobnobbing with the smartest internet marketers in Portland.

These free, community-driven mini-conferences emphasize learning through sharing among the local development community, and have become quite popular in the Portland area. Having the events at the same venue at the same time will allow participants to explore a greater variety of topics.
