SEO panel discussion on strategies and tactics to improve link building from DFW Search Engine Marketing Association.

Building quality links is an important part of any search engine optimization (SEO) effort. On October 14, 2009 at 6:30 p.m.  the DFW Search Engine Marketing Association will be hosting a panel discussion on link building titled “White Hat/Black Hat Link Building – You Decide”. To purchase tickets online go to http://dfwsem.memberlodge.org.

This lively – and controversial – panel discuss will cover all areas of link building for search engine optimization (SEO); detailing their techniques and tactics to drive links to websites. Link building refers to techniques to acquire more in-bound hyperlinks from one website to another. This is an important part of search engine optimization since many search engines factor the quality and quantity of links to websites within their ranking algorithms.

DFW SEM has assembled an all-star panel with proven SEO expertise including :

Jeff Martin – Associate Director of Search Marketing at TouchStorm

Giovanni Gallucci – Social Media Consultant

Bill Hartzer – Search Engine Marketing and Online Promotion Expert with Vizion Interactive

“There is a fine line between white hat and black hat link building techniques,” says Tony Wright, president of DFWSEM. “I think this panel will be an excellent chance for everyone to decide what that line is,” Tony adds.

This event will appeal to professionals that provide search engine optimization services as well as companies looking to improve their SEO efforts. Tickets are $10 for members and $30 for non-members – available online at http://dfwsem.memberlodge.org.

The event will be on October 14, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. at the Renaissance Hotel in Richardson.
