Filipinos are no strangers to search engine optimization (SEO). Hundreds of them are living off the Web, harnessing its powers through consultancy services or through professional blogs marketed through SEO. In fact, a Filipino kid blogger, Carl Ocab of http://www.carlocab.com is on the front page of Google for the well-searched keyword ''make money online."
Now that is SEO for you.
For those who still do not know, search engine optimization is the method of improving the traffic coming in from search engines (so-called organic traffic), by making your pages more search engine-friendly and, hence, by putting your site on top of the search engine rankings. It is a highly studied field in Internet marketing that takes into consideration how search engines work and how web pages can be made into such a way that they play well under these rules. This includes editing content and the actual codes to meet the requirements of search engines.
Since it is a very important issue to consider among webmasters nowadays, it is only apt that much attention is given to it.
In the Philippines, for instance, the 1st Philippine Search Engine Marketing Conference (SEMCON Philippines 2009) will be held on October 1-2, 2009, at the Grand Ballroom of the Hotel Intercontinental in Makati City. This will be the first event of its kind in the Philippines with topics focusing on search engine marketing, search engine optimization, pay-per-click, conversion optimization, web analytics, viral & word-of-mouth marketing and social media & community-driven marketing.
Interactive & digital marketers, brand marketers, webmasters, bloggers, and those involved in electronic commerce are highly encouraged to attend the event, though everyone is invited. Nobody will also feel left out since the topics to be discussed will cater to different difficulty levels--from the novice to the professional levels.
