I’m very proud to have been selected as one of the speakers at WordCamp San Diego this weekend. I was selected to speak on Local SEO and what you need to know. With just 40 minutes, we can only touch on the basics, but I felt that I had enough resources for people to deep dive into the tools and resources for everyone to learn more.
Here are the slides I used for the presentation. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Get your website whipped into shape to start pulling in quality traffic and clients.
Find out what tools and plugins you need, learn how to properly leverage your blog for SEO, discover what you really need to do to get found for those really important keywords, and finally why you need links, and where to get them.
This will be a weekly seminar with 1 hour of presentation, and 1/2 hour of Q&A based on the day’s topics.
The topics we’ll be covering, and the time William will spend with you would normally cost hundreds more.

I had a blast today on WP Water Cooler. Myself and eight other prominent WordPress talking heads were on the Water Cooler this morning discussing ways to speed up your website. We discussed:
The pace was pretty energetic, it’s difficult to get a word in with a bunch of smart-asses like these guys. But I felt I brought something good to the table.
I was just interviewed on a very cool Australian podcast called PhotoBiz Xposed. The host Andrew Hellmich was so very gracious and had incredibly insightful questions for his viewers. Most were SEO related, but we discussed WPPI, photography in general and how I still shoot film.
Andrew’s a great guy, and he’s running an excellent podcast down there.
I got to speak this weekend at WordCamp San Diego. WordCamp is a big geekfest for WordPress developers. They’re put on in different cities around the world, and all kinds of topics are covered: design, technical development, business related, and just about any other aspect of using or running WordPress.
I’ve been wanting to discuss the benefits of establishing a business that is focussed on a certain niche since our work here at Flaunt Your Site is predominantly Photographer focused. When I discovered they had included a “Lightning Round” with 5 minute micro-topics, I jumped at the chance to get up there and blurt out what I could.
I talked to a few people afterwards and it seems it was pretty well received. I don’t know if the lightning round will make it to a video format like the other speakers, but here are my slides below.
If you’re a photographer in San Francisco, come check me out at the Smug Mug User Group on November 15th. I’ll be discussing SEO tips & tricks, and answering people’s questions with two other SEO savvy people.
Come hang out and have some fun.
I’m excited as all get out to announce that I have been invited to speak at WordCamp San Diego! It’s completely sold out too! My topic will cover WordPress and SEO for photographers.
I first attended a WordCamp in L.A. back in 2009 and was blown away by the feeling of community and comradery present. Everyone was so open to learning and sharing with each other.
For those of you that have tickets, you’ll be able to see me speak at 9:30AM in the “Gaslamp” room.
If you can’t make it, there is a chance that they may be webcasting it. I’ll keep everyone informed if they do.
I’m thrilled and looking forward to seeing you all out there! I’ll have some great information to provide to everyone and maybe even a few freebies to give out.
Just got back from teaching a workshop on SEO at the Las Vegas Pictage User Group. It was a blast and everyone there was so much fun. We held everything right in Chelsea Nicole’s living room, I just hooked up my laptop to their big screen TV, and we did everything there. Ordered pizzas for lunch… It was a cool, laid back atmosphere to teach and learn some great SEO tips and strategies.
Plus driving through the desert from San Diego to Vegas and back is always a beautiful experience.
I was very honored to have run an SEO for photographers workshop at San Diego’s PPA. We did a full 8 hour session covering topics such as installing WordPress, and how to properly configure websites to take advantage of on-site SEO.
