This Wednesday I spoke at the Los Angeles Pictage User Group (PUG), a monthly meeting of photographers who are users of Pictage. There are PUGs all across the country, where photographers gather to share industry tips, network, and learn from guest speakers.
I was asked to speak about some basics of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and the idea of what is involved in building a web presence. This is meant as a guide for someone working on their own site. All sites through photographyblogsites.com have all this SEO work built in from the start.
Based on some great discussion during and after the talk, I have added some extra information to the slideshow I used. It is available here as a reminder for those that attended and as a quick guide for those that were not able to make it.
Please feel free to share it anywhere you want.
Visit the Pictage Blog for more info on Pictage and the PUGS.
Thanks Marty for making this slideshow presentation available for us to review again after the meeting. Smiles, Joelle
Of course.
I can not WAIT for this to come out. I am just getting started with my blog and currently working on a website, but I’m hoping this will come out soon! Thanks!!!
Hi Miya,
That’s great! We can’t wait either. It will be ready soon. Very soon. Watch for our newsletter announcement, follow us on Twitter or Facebook and you will know right away.
Great presentation and hits the essentials. I prefer a custom permalink structure of /%category%/%postname%/ or just /%postname%/ to avoid putting the month and day into the URL structure and needlessly making essential keywords appear deeper in the site organization.
Thanks so much for your suggestion, Zach. As we are still finalizing things this might become something to consider.
