On Tuesday, we had a full day of seminars. Intro Blogosopher in the morning, and the first WordPress advanced in the afternoon. To showcase the power of categories in WordPress to gather ideas in several posts into a super post- I searched The Next Wave news blog for anything about the super hot agency “Crispin Porter + Bogusky” in Miami and created a new category of the same name.
We searched Google for any mention of The Next Wave when searching for “Crispin Porter Bogusky” and gave up after the 300 th or so reference (30 pages in). Today I added a post about “CB+P” to the site- and then went to Google again a few hours later. We were now number 7! And that is out of 176,000 results. A few articles above ours, was a great article about CP+B from Business Week– so we used the “Press-it” function of WordPress to add yet another post to the site.
The goal is to get to the top of Google, using real content, instead of nested pages, or paid postion, to be next to the hottest ad agency in the world. Of course, we think we’re the second hottest agency- along with half the agencies in America- but the difference is- we’ve figured out the secrets of search- and content management- and even Crispin hasn’t got that part quite mastered.
If you want to learn how to get your site, and yes, we’ll even teach other ad agencies, to the top of Google- without paying for it, you need to attend one of our seminars.
David,
I recently attended one of your blog seminars. I came away with a new impression of what blogs are and how they may work in a business environment. Since your seminar I converted my website, parkhillscrossing.com to a blog. I have noticed the following:
An increase in traffic
Upward movement in Google
And best of all, several comments from prospective customers who said they read my website and liked what they saw! Never in the three years that I had a static site did anyone say they even saw my website let alone say they ‘read it and liked what they saw’.
When my site was static, I was always thinking of things to add, however, I was not savvy enough with HTML and website design to do it myself. Thanks for introducing me to WordPress and blogging, it’s easy, fast, effective and best of all, WordPress is FREE!!
If anyone in the Miami Valley, who reads this post, is interested in starting an informal users group to meet monthly and discuss what is working for them, tech tips and other things related to WordPress and business blogging, please get a hold of me.

I was surfing the search engines and found this site guestbook, I got to say, it is a nice site and it’s easy to navigate in. Anyway so I thought I’d post a message. I am creating a new website for Bali Wedding Villas and looking for a site that I can use for web design reference. Thank you.
