Want to follow a training session with me? 2 coming up @Frankwatching! (Dutch)

Category:Training

As you know I write a lot and I talk a lot. Mostly about search & social. What you may or may not know is that I actually have a teachers degree. I’m a trained teacher, yes. Originally in history, but these days I teach a lot about search and social. I organize my own training sessions, do one-on-one training sessions and I am hired by others to give training sessions. One of these ‘others’ is the Dutch website Frankwatching. This website organizes several training sessions on different online topics.

Two of the training sessions are given by… yours truly: basic SEO and Trends in SEO.

Basic SEO

In this training you will learn the basic rules of SEO. How do search engine work and what are the basic elements you need to know to start optimizing your website. A great course if you are starting out in search, but also if you already have some experience in online marketing.

Trends in Search

The world of search is changing (I’ve spoken about that before) and as a company you will need to act on that. In this training session you can really learn how to handle the changes. You get to learn how to act on Instant, Universal and Social elements.

There is still room in both training sessions, so if you are interested, hurry up and register over at Frankwatching! Just be aware: the sessions are both in Dutch :).

See you there?

“The future of Search” at the Domainfest in Prague, my preso and more

Category:Events,speaking Tags : 

As you might have noticed before when you have visited this (personal) blog before I was asked to speak at the Domainfest conference in Prague earlier this month. It was quite the experience! In a good way!

As you may have seen they put me in a hotel room which was astonishing. Huge and very comfortable. I almost didn’t want to leave the room! The evening also was interesting with a dinner party in the Czech National Museum. Not many people will have done that and as a former history student that was special! I missed the second day because I had to fly back but they actually went on a AK47 shooting contest…!

Next to that the conference was interesting itself. There were some interesting speakers, but the main thing which caught my attention was the actual domain-auction they did. I have never seen anything like it. Domains being sold as if they were paintings from Vincent van Gogh himself. Breathtaking to watch. And some domains really got some huge numbers. I understand that restaurants.com was sold for about $6 million… Watch here how pounds.com got sold for 35.000 dollars.

And what about my talk? That went very well I think. You always have to wait and see if your story really ‘catches on’. But I think it did, at least when I talked to people afterwards it seemed that way. Below you can find my presentation, those of you who have seen my presentations before will recognize things.

I’d like to again thank the organizers for a great event and say hi to everybody I met there. I’m sure we’ll be in touch!
