SAN JOSE, Calif. - (Business Wire) Search
marketers frustrated by the dearth of real hands-on education in navigating the ever-changing world of search and social media should look no further than the
Search Engine Strategies (SES) San Jose Training Day, August 22, 2008. This day of intensive training in search engine marketing and search engine optimization (SEM/SEO) includes six highly informative sessions at the San Jose Marriott. The training immediately follows the
SES San Jose Conference & Expo scheduled for August 18-21, 2008.
Led by notable industry leaders, each of these half-day training sessions takes place in a small class setting, where instructors are readily accessible for informal one-on-one or small group discussions. Attendees will leave with in-depth, practical advice that can be applied immediately to their own businesses. During the San Jose training, search experts including Matt Bailey, Greg Jarboe, Amanda Watlington, Rob Garner, Terry Plank, Jorie Waterman, Richard Zwicky, Lee Odden, Robert Scoble, Adam Goldberg, Christine Churchill, and Kevin Ryan will bestow the essential elements to successful SEO, teach marketers how to optimize for Universal Search, use analytics to increase search effectiveness, and more.
Sessions include:

- Optimizing for Universal Search: This session provides practical advice about taking advantage of Google’s new approach that blends listings from news, maps, video, and image search among those it gathers from Web search.
- Search Engine Marketing Metrics and Myths: The metrics that marketers are using today to make decisions regarding how their budgets are allocated to online advertising vehicles are flawed. At the end of this training, each participant will have a clear understanding of how to properly assess online advertising performance.
