Simmons Tue, 06 Oct 2009 20:15:35 +0000 http://www.bretlsimmons.com/?p=1236#comment-1238 Mario, glad you found my course! Here is what I will say about SEO. I hired a professional to design my site and take care of the "behind the curtain" aspects of SEO. When this site launched in June, I expected it to be at the top of a google page. But there is another Bret Simmons, and he had the top spot until recently. What I did was to blog almost every day, link to my own posts in my blog, and comment on a lot of other websites. This is the process side of SEO and it worked. Now if you google Bret Simmons, this site is #1. Of course if you google Bret L Simmons, I have all the spots for several pages. That's my brand.

In reading the related posts you eluded to a course you are going to teach entitled “Google is your new business card: Building a valuable personal brand.” I did not see any mention of search engine optimization practices and was wondering how important, or not this practice should be in creating searchable content.
