Denver SEO Speaker | Business Blogging Consultant

I found a great article by Randfish on Startups and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). It’s called I’m Getting Pretty Tired of Startup Advice that Doesn’t Include Any Mention of SEO-amen!! Randfish is commenting on several articles talking about SEO and makes this cogent observation:

Dianna Booher is an esteemed member of the National Speakers Association. She recently had an article in our monthly magazine, Speaker. Her article inspired today’s post.
