Pittsburgh SEO Group

How search has changed over the last 8 years

AATrenHierb — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 18:19:32 +0000

The Eyeflow blog has a post with Phil Laboon’s presentation notes on how search has changed over the past eight years. This presentation was during our November 2009 seminar.

“One trend that I think we are going to hear a lot about next year is how search engines are going to depend more on User Reviews from various community sites like Yelp, e-pinion, and their own locals. In the past, the great hurdle was spammers creating hundreds of bogus accounts and hyping up their own companies.”

June Pittsburgh SEO Group Meeting Recap

Christina — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:15:33 +0000

The June 24th Pittsburgh SEO group meeting was an enjoyable, conversational event. Chris Hornak of Eyeflow Internet Marketing made a presentation on the evolution of search engines that sparked a lively, if tangential, discussion on the different ways that SEs have attempted to improve their results and how to adapt to an ever-changing online environment.

Brandon Schenker of SB Marketing made a presentation on Keyword Research which brought the conversation back down to the practical, applicable aspects of SEO. Several Non-SEOs were in attendance and their websites often became a framework around which broader topics were discussed.

Overall, the event was deemed very interesting by attendees, several of which mentioned how refreshing it was to talk SEO with others deep in the industry.

Next month, Christina Keffer of Eyeflow will give a presentation on Search Engine and Web-friendly Copywriting. Other presenters are welcome, so if anyone has a topic near and dear to them please contact us for the chance to present!

Dates, times and location will follow shortly for the next Pittsburgh SEO Group meeting.
