The presentation’s focus is on looking at Search Engine Optimization SEO and what matters most TODAY in the algorithms of today’s largest search engines. Outside of the basic technical blocking and tackling, how do you succeed online? Build great content? Is that enough? How do you build links in a way that is likely to stay around?
