See you all there!

Hope I can remember to come, I want to learn on this one! This is one subject I don't know diddly squat about! 

[iKnitQuiltSew]

I think you're in good company, Jan!  Me, too!

[jewelrybyjanelle50]

LOL, thanks Sandi! If my poor memory will serve me properly, I will be there, with bells on!

A little better every day!  Thanks so much for asking!!

I'm going to try my best not to flake on this one. I'm really interested to hear other people's ideas, as I've kind of hit a brick wall on it.
I'm constantly working on my SEO and had to do lots of it with my last couple of companies too, so hopefully I'll be able to add something to the chat.

My apologies on this chat...  I was half an hour late, and have all kinds of reasons, none of which change reality.  I am rescheduling the SEO chat to Thursday, September 30th.  Times are:

Pacific 5 PM
Mountain 6 PM
Centrall 7 PM
Eastern 8 PM

I promise I'll be on time next week!!!!

In the meantime, in preparing for this chat, I did find a written-in-English tutorial on SEO which I'm sure is very basic, but I found interesting and informative.  I posted info on my blog for anyone interested, complete with links.

See you all next week!

YES! I was going to ask if we could do this same chat again, I missed it.

[LazyTcrochet]

Thanks for extending this. I am quite interested in learning more about it.

[iKnitQuiltSew]

I'm very interested in this, but,... where will this be taking place?

Right here!  Click on the word CHAT in the green ribbon at the top of the page.  We would love to see you!

I completely forgot to log in for the chat, stupid me.
I thought I'd share this link anyway: it's a free online seminar on SEO that PRWeb emailed out. I don't really know anything about it or whether it's any good.

Here's the rundown from the email:

I probably won't be able to do it because I have commitments on Wednesdays, but thought I'd share.

Here's the link again.
