Email Service Provider Listrak Offers Educational Webinar on Search Engine Optimization and Why It Matters

July 15, 2009; 02:21 AM

Lititz, PA (PRWEB) July 14, 2009 -- Listrak, a leading email marketing solution provider, today announced its latest webinar for email marketers taking place on July 15, 2009, 1:00-2:00 ET. Rebecca Lieb, VP of Econsultancy, will discuss optimizing websites for search engines, at a free webinar for marketers called "What is SEO, and Why it Matters."

"The goal of optimizing a web site is to increase the likelihood it will appear at the top, or near the top, of search engine results when selected keyword phrases are queried. The goal isn't merely to attract traffic to the website in question, but to attract quality traffic," said Lieb.

According to Lieb, SEO is an art and a science that can be applied to nearly all the elements of a Web site: the copy, its design, the type of coding used, links, and site architecture.

"Search Engine Optimization (SEO) improves the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" or "organic" search results. It's the process of making a web site search engine friendly. And like most forms of online marketing, SEO exists between the right and left brain hemispheres. It spans marketing and IT, PR and analytics."

Rebecca Lieb currently oversees U.S. operations for Econsultancy, which is headquartered in London, UK. She continues to write a regular column for ClickZ, having previously served as an editorial consultant to The ClickZ Network, and having serving as its editor-in-chief for over seven years. She also ran SearchEngineWatch.com.

In February 2009 her new book "The Truth about Search Engine Optimization" was released, and instantly became a best seller on Amazon.

The webinar on July 15, 2009 will provide an overview of the fundamentals of SEO, and arm marketers with a roadmap for getting started -- and getting found -- in organic search results.
