			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I&#8217;m speaking for ASTD in Denver, Colorado. My topic will be how to set up and use a WordPress blog. In addition to my session there are two other presenters: Pete Cassidy is teaching on how to use Google Docs. <a title="Sean Kearney" href="http://www.seanpkearney.com/" target="_blank">Sean Kearney </a>is speaking on social networking. There will be a morning and afternoon session.</p>
<p>In my session on blogging I&#8217;ll emphasize the ease and quality of using WordPress and the SEO features incorporated into their themes. Some of the blogging points that will be covered include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Using keywords in your domain name<br />
The importance of a good blog title<br />
Writing for the web-the importance of writing unique and authoritative content in your blog posts<br />
The proper use of tags for your blog posts<br />
Knowing the purpose of your blog post</li>
<li>It will be a great learning experience and I want to thank Valerie Kendrick for the invitation to speak on blogging.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Small business owners who rely solely on a brick and mortar location have had a brutal Holiday season. As expected, retailers had one of the worst holiday shopping seasons in decades, with sales falling by double digits in nearly all categories according to Spending Pulse, a macroeconomic report by Master Card.</p>
<p>The report said that in November retail sales sand 5.5 percent compared with a year ago. On a brighter note, online commerce sales were much brighter. Amazon reported its &#8220;best ever&#8221; holiday sales season.</p>
<p>If your organization or association is looking for the perfect search engine optimization <strong>(SEO) speaker </strong>to help your members succeed online, call me. As an SEO speaker I help small business owners bring their marketing programs online.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been following the saga of Marc Rasmussen who is a Sarasota Florida Realtor. Marc has spent years growing his real estate business in Sarasota. His time, efforts and money have allowed him to be in the first position of a Google search. Life is good-right up until the <a title="Sarasota MLS" href="http://www.ebaspace.com/2008/10/19/the-sarasota-mls/" target="_blank">Sarasota MLS </a>board decided to steal his domain name.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.seospeakers.com/helen.jpg" alt="" width="440" height="200" /></p>
<p>The Sarasota board decided that since Marc had MLS in his domain name-they would exercise a little eminent domain. Truth is, The Sarasota MLS could not displace Marc from his number one ranking so they decided to take this despicable action. Morgan Carey was the first to sound the alarm on the thieves of the Sarasota MLS Board and his efforts have created a ground swell of support for Marc!</p>
<p>If you make money on the Internet and believe in true SEO efforts please read these articles and spread the word to prevent this happening to others.</p>
