Why Publishers Should Care about SEO

Date: This event took place live on October 22 2008

Presented by: Jamie Low

This is a free live event. Scheduled for approximately 60 minutes.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) expert Jamie Low uses a conversational format and live search queries to examine SEO elements and techniques, including: how publishers can get ranked for specific queries related to their content; why some pages earn top spots in search listings and others fail to advance; and how to evaluate SEO strategies that will support real-world business objectives.

This is the first in a series of live webcasts from O'Reilly's TOC: Tools of Change for Publishing.

About TOC

Driven by the Internet, technology is fundamentally transforming publishing. Creation, development, production, distribution, and consumption have all been touched by the changes and challenges that have accompanied the greatest shifts in publishing since the printing press. Which technologies are important? Which provide exciting business opportunities? And what are the strategic questions you need to consider in adopting new models?

O'Reilly's Tools of Change for Publishing division seeks to connect the people, companies, and organizations asking and answering the questions that will define the future of publishing. (TOC is a nod to the term publishing vets will recognize as referring to the Table of Contents of a book -- a deliberate choice signaling our intent to set the agenda for the future of publishing.)
