Social Media Breakfast Edmonton #5
8:30 - 10:30 a.m., Friday, April 29th, 2011
CBC Centre Stage
The Edmonton Social Media Breakfast (SMBYEG) is pleased to announce internet marketer extraordinaire, Jennifer Banks as this month’s guest speaker.
The topic for the April SMBYEG is:
What the heck? Why aren't you doing SEO?
Search engine optimization is probably the most effective, misunderstood, bad-mouthed, and ignored component of a high performing online presence- including blogs and social media. The idea is simple; create your content so that Google knows what you do and assists you with gaining visitors/followers and ultimately, making money from your website. Why is this so controversial? There are no secrets, and the basics are straightforward.
This session will cover:
- What is Search Engine Optimization?
- Why do I need SEO?
- How do I integrate SEO into my blog/website/social media?
- Live website audits (time permitting)
Stay after the discussion to network and share ideas within the realm of social media. Marketers, PR pros, entrepreneurs, bloggers, podcasters, new-media fanatics, and online social networkers are all welcome to attend.
Seating is limited and fills up quickly so hurry to book your place on Eventbrite.com. 30 seats are available immediately and 30 more will be released on April 15th at 12:00 p.m. (Registration will be taken at the event.)

Guest speakers share their experience and expertise of social media use, followed by an opportunity to network with a community of like-minded individuals. The SMB was founded by Bryan Person in August 2007 as an event for social media newbies and experts to come together to eat, meet, share, and learn. The breakfast series began in Boston and has now spread to more than three dozen cities around the world. The Calgary and Edmonton chapters of the SMB were started by Scott Baird of McQ Design Strategies as a place for social media enthusiasts to discuss effective practices and new techniques.
