Shameless Cross - Promotion

Many of you may or may not know that I maintain a blog for work as well about how to use Web 2.0 properties to recruit volunteers, and how to use mass email to keep them engaged.

Check it out!

I'm now an SEO/SEM Trainer!

Looks like I've found myself providing training on Search Engine Optimization and Marketing, and I conducted a workshop at the National Conference on Volunteering and Service in July to rave reviews.

Here's a comment from one of my attendees:

By the way, I wanted to share with you that your workshop was the best that I attended at the conference. I especially appreciated the presentation of different levels of investment in SEO activities based upon how much time individuals have available. - Marta Bortner,

I'm also managing a blog for work related to How to Use the Internet to Recruit Volunteers where I translate SEO/SEM resources/research/techniques for a non-profit/volunteer recruitment audience.

And my co-workers thought it was amusing that I ran my parents through the same basic training so that they would understand how they can help me drive traffic to my father's website for the Golden Raven Storytelling Circle in Union, Maine.

I'm now wicked smart about SEM

Just came back from the Search Engine Strategies Conference in Chicago. Even though I never again want to visit Chicago in December, the conference was great. I'm not sure if I've ever been through such a crash course on a subject before.

So now on top of optimizing sites for work, I'll be working on optimizing my father's site as well about story telling: thegoldenraven.org.

Little does he know I'll be introducing him to storytellers around the world. He's going to love it.
