Einstein Law Meets with SEO Experts - Watch this Video

This video series is fairly heavy on the promotion of Einstein Law, but it's not difficult to see beyond that and take home quite a bit of "meat".

This series was filmed at the Webmaster World 2006 in Las Vegas.

Einstein speaks with Danny Sullivan on subjects like White Hat vs Black Hat practices, the future of internet video, search engine results, content, linking strategies, Link Farms, being sandboxed and Website size.

Einstein then speaks with Jake Baillie about local searches (as opposed to phone books), relevancy, quality of results, TrueLocal, website spam, link trading, content resource, call tracking and vertical searching.

Then with Greg Niland about the difference between a good SEO company and a bad one, link popularity, the sandbox, search engine updates and how it affects websites, long term vs short term results, quality content and video.

Watch the video series here.

Really informative stuff. It's fairly long, so play it in the background while you work.

Enjoy.

The best networking certificate is the ccna certificate and Microsoft certified systems administrator or mcsa certification is also growing in scope. So, if you are planning to appear in any Cisco exam like ccnp or ccie you have to practice online sample papers.
