Looking For Webinar Topics

[DonnieCooper]

Hey Costume, Google's Conversion University is a GREAT resource of Analytics videos. No doubt some Analytics webinars from SEOmoz would be great too

[EssEEmily]

I've noticed a lot of questions in Q&A regarding directories. It's sort of an outdated subject, but there is an opportunity there to outline possible values (or not).  I did a quick search and couldn't find any recent articles regarding directories on SEOMoz.

Not as cool or sexy as some of the other topics suggested, but a definite opportunity.

Thanks for the suggestion Emily.  We are currently working on something that fits with this suggestion though it's not a webinar.  Stay tuned to our blog for more details coming soon but it's still worth maybe hitting this subject in a quick webinar.

[EssEEmily]

Awesome. I will keep an eye out for it.

[ostheimer]

Yep, great suggestion. I would really like to see how Google Local and all those other directories and location based service directories like yelp, qype,... are influencing the SERPs. As it is now, local results, together with Adwords take up most of the real estate above the fold if <keyword>is combined with <major city="">. As long as local search is big, I'd really like to see regular updates in webinars.</major></keyword>

Many are already listed. So... I'm proposing::

1. Brand marketing SEO > from unknown online eCommerce to recognized brand (this could involve the concept of Entity);

2. Link building in super competitive and with not immaculate reputation fields: e.g. Gambling and Co.

3. Schema.org and its SEO implications

4. SEO for small business tourist sites (aka: hotel not in a chain, b&b...) >> how to compete against the Tourist Review Sites (e.g.: Booking, Expedia...). Not strictly related to Local Search.

5. International SEO, Inbound and Web Marketing (that could include something about the concept of different CRO for different cultures...)

Surely I will find other topics

I would love to see a webinar on the Local Google 7 Pack, and the rel="author" as suggested(as well as proper implementation.)

In addition, I wouldn't mind seeing something about the benefits of silo/flat architecture.

[zharriet]

Yes to the Google Local suggestions.

I would like to see webinars on:

• Guerrilla SEO in Highly Competitive Markets
• Small Business SEO (Including discussion of when to hire a professional and what you can do in-house)
• Google Page Speed

[duanermb]

I'd love to see a webinar on local ranking factors and how they differ from keyword targeting and typical SEO tactics.

[flowsimple]

I echo all the comments about Local. With 1 in 5 searches having local intent, this area is becoming HOT!

[noBulMedia]

A video based in almost a V-Log kind of way of an SEO Guru would be great to the students in this community! Show us what you do, your schedule, office, desk, average routine!

[Thos003]

I would really NOT like this information spread about....

[Thos003]

How are you launching it? Do you have a wordpress plugin?

[Thos003]

I think directories were outdated, but it seems that directories are pushing a lot of local citations these days. I'd vote for this one.

[Thos003]

I'd like a Webinar on site speed and how to best reduce load times.

[PaulRogers]

What about allowing Google to index blog category and tag pages? I think it's still a bit of a grey area in SEO and I for one would really benefit from some additional input from you guys. Paul

I would like to see a webinar about the top 10 tools and ways small business can increase their link building efforts.  Many small businesses (ours included), especially in today's economy, cannot afford the likes of a Distilled or a SEER Interactive, and are trying to get to the next stage with their link building efforts - trying to do it correctly instead of throwing darts at a board blindly.  We want to learn how to use a variety of free tools (and paid ones) to help improve our methods of creating and obtaining high quality links.

Hi Casey,

Kinda late to the party, but I'm going to assume that you have a big list somewhere - Maybe on the back of the Friday Whiteboard??

I would really like to see a webinar on Developing and deploying user surveys and questionnaires - what is most useful or effective, what are the pitfalls, innovative ways to use the data you collect (ie, "can I use customer reviews to develop linkbait?") etc

[zharriet]

Here's another suggestion:

Everything about Mobile Web that Mozzers Need to Know!

Thanks!

We would like to see another video focused on eCommerce sites. Including topics on link building, content creations, site design, social media strategies, etc.

I would gladly volunteer my two sites as reference/example (www.keepsakes-etc.com & www.simply-bags.com).

Every eCommerce site owner is looking to develop their 2012 Business Plan.
