On May 5th I will be doing a free SEO webinar about measuing the ROI from Organic Search. This presentation is based on my SES presentation but will be much more in depth (I only had about 10 minutes to speak at SES, The webinar is close to an hour). Please follow this link to sign up. The presentation is Wednesday, May 5th, 2009.

I hope to start again next week. In the mean time, please mark your calendars for May 5th and my free SEO Webinar from BusinessOnLine.
