Econsultancy are running an Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) PR Training Day, with Jeremy Spiller, on 17th March 2010.

An important element of search engine optimisation is to build relevant links but many organisations and agencies risk damaging their reputation through unethical link building practices. This workshop focuses on how PR communications and brand engagement can help improve natural search engine visibility whilst managing online reputation.

Delegates will learn how Online PR and social media marketing can be integrated into a search marketing strategy. They will learn how to create a SEO driven online PR campaign, select the appropriate tools and develop compelling brand or business ‘social objects’ and ‘social currency’ to trigger conversations and manage reputation.

“Lots of new PR and SEO ideas from this workshop. Very inspirational.” – A. Hall – Avanquest Solutions

Jeremy has worked with the internet since 1990 and with the web since 1994. In 1995 he founded Clockwork Web which went on to become one of the top ten agencies in the UK, working for clients such as The Rank Group, Dun & Bradstreet, Hi-Tech Sports, Red Dwarf, Pete Townshend and Premier Brands.

What with family re-unions and dark nights ( I hate the winter) I haven’t been attending to this particular blog.

It’s very hard these days to keep up with the world of technology. Recent observations.

• The Bebo generation are now firmly ensconced on Facebook – this will change its dynamic as a business tool, and not for the better.

• I still don’t much care for Twitter, however, I have been introduced Tweetdeck by my good friend Laurena McKenna – its a winner.

• I have been playing about with Netvibes again but that login bit does my head in.

• The world has gone Mafia Wars and Farmville crazy. Apparently 70 million people are now invloved. Do you know anyone who doesn’t play one or the other, or both?

3f Creative will be hosting a Windows 7 launch party on Saturday 24th of October.

3f Creative’s Social Media and Marketing Technology Director, David Farrell-Shaw, was one of the technology experts asked, by Microsoft, to host a  launch event.  As an early adopter, and confirmed Beta tester, Farrell-Shaw is sure that Microsoft have got it right this time. ” I liked Vista, certainly the Ultimate edition was very good – with Windows 7 Microsoft have come up with a winner.”
