Columbus, Ohio Internet Marketing Company Partners with Local College to Offer SEO Classes

March 23, 2009; 04:17 AM

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) March 23, 2009 -- Central Ohio Internet marketing company, Webbed Marketing, announced that it will be holding a two day web marketing seminar at Hondros College in April. The seminar will focus on search engine optimization at an introductory level, in addition to covering some of the more advanced SEO techniques. Participants can choose to attend one or both days of the seminar. Registration is currently open for the two day event, which will take place on April 21st and 22nd, 2009 from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. EST.

The seminar will be a key initial step for Webbed Marketing University - the unique online marketing classroom that launched earlier this year. WMU already offers a host of Internet marketing courses through an à la carte system, from SEO and SEM, to online public relations and social media marketing. The idea to conduct a series of SEO classes in a classroom-style setting stemmed from a large number of requests from WMU participants. They wanted the quality Internet marketing training that the experts from Webbed Marketing are able to provide, in addition to the credibility gained from an accredited academic institution.

"The partnership between Webbed Marketing University and Hondros College was created in order to provide pragmatic Internet marketing training," said Bill Balderaz, founder of Webbed Marketing. "By joining with Hondros, WMU will be able to provide quality online marketing courses that can be directly applied to an existing academic plan. We decided to offer the SEO courses in a traditional classroom-style setting because these courses are in the highest demand and we want to cater to as many different learning styles as possible."

"Our marketplace, which has a large segment of entrepreneurs and small business owners, has been looking for help with their web marketing," Vice President of Hondros College Dave Evangelisti said. "We look forward to working with Webbed Marketing to help our customers reach their goals through improved search engine marketing. The tools and techniques learned in these courses should allow our students to dramatically improve their web presence."

The first day of the seminar will cover SEO 101: all the basics to familiarize people with search engine optimization from a marketing perspective. The SEO 101 classes are a must for students who have little or no online marketing experience. The second day of the seminar will cover more advanced SEO techniques, including semantic search, algorithm changes and PageRank sculpting.

Bill Balderaz and Amy Marshall of Webbed Marketing will be conducting the various SEO classes for the seminar. There will be scheduled intermissions, and both breakfast and lunch will be provided by Hondros College. Recorded versions of selected sessions will be available following the seminar.
