Barcamp Charlotte SEO Session with NC_SEO

I recently attended Barcamp Charlotte. It was an awesome experience and I only wish they had it more than once a year!

There were some absolutely amazing sessions, ranging from how to make balloon animals to social media to developing advanced iphone applications through the SDK (whatever that means!) One of my favorites was venturing down the rabbit hole with a local artist Jared. “Once you are in the rabbit hole you never want to leave.”

For those of you who missed it, I snagged a video of NC_SEO (Robert Enriquez) talking about how to get the other 9 listing on page one of Google. Some great SEO tips in here for online reputation management. Runtime 29minutes

Internet Marketing Training – SEO Google from Robert E on Vimeo.

Let me know your thoughts on BarCamp CLT in the comments!

Also since I know a lot of web devs were there and might be watching this… can someone give me a clue as to why my blog load time is slower than molasses?
