The old practice of writing a press release and sending it out to reporters is quickly becoming the least important reason to write one

Lanham, MD (PRWEB) March 10, 2010

PRWeb, the online news distribution service of Vocus (NASDAQ: VOCS), announced it will host a live seminar in New York City titled, “SEO and Marketing Secrets to Drive Web site Traffic.”

The event will feature speakers Randy Aimone and Harry Brooks. Aimone is the founder of Aim One Marketing and Duct Tape Marketing’s first authorized tiny business coach in NY. Brooks is the president and CEO of Search First Internet Marketing and has consulted with over 6,000 businesses on search marketing strategy.

The seminar, aimed at small business owners, and search marketing professionals, will teach participants how to take online news release campaigns to the next level by creating a marketing plan and learning search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to drive traffic to your Web site.

“The old practice of writing a press release and sending it out to reporters is quickly becoming the least important reason to write one,” said Aimone. “A better reason to write one, especially for small businesses, is for the ‘public’ in public relations – to reach your customers directly, drive traffic to your Web site and produce better search engine results for your company.”

Specifically the event will cover how to:

•     Develop and execute a strategic marketing plan in 7 steps
•     Identify the top variables that affect search engine rankings
•     Write online news releases that can help you achieve higher visibility
•     Optimize your online news release
•     Measure results of your campaign – whether your goal is to build awareness, increase web site traffic, generate sales leads or sell products online
