Our next Blogalicious Meetup will be in May in Northern California. If you’re interested in planning that event, drop us a line at: info(AT)blogaliciousweekend(DOT)com.

If you’re a new blogger or an experienced one, a blogger trying to build a business, blogging for fun or blogging for work, you’ll find this webinar crucial to understanding what you need to do to become #1 on Google.

If you’re curious about which blogging platform is better for SEO, whether SEO rules still apply when using Wordpress for a blog and CMS, whether page rank is lessened by uploading too much content within a short time, what exactly page rank is and how to get it (these were a few questions asked at the previous webinar) — then this webinar is for you.

Don’t be afraid that this will be too technical for you because Adria will break it down in simple terms for us all to understand.

Please submit your questions beforehand so Adria can expand on the content of the presentation.

Hope you’ll join us!
