Hi, this is Steve Mertz and I have the privilege of being the President of The National Speakers Association-Colorado Chapter this year. Our focus this year is “The Business of Business”. It is my goal to provide professional speakers, trainers and consultants the very best business tools available today and that includes these websites and blog platforms.

As I go across the country speaking about website strategy and search engine optimization-the number one question I get is: When will Google find my website or blog? The truth is this-your web designer may have built your website or blog that will never allow the spiders do discover all your great content!

Most professional speakers want a flashy, “I’m on the leading edge” kind of blog or website. It is great to want that but let me remind you that the three most important visitors to your website are Google, Yahoo and MSN-and they don’t care about pretty. They want unique and authoritative content!

Rest assured that these platforms are optimized for the search engines and if you commit to doing your part-you will find that Google will find your website and more importantly; potential customers that have never heard of you will find you in a search! Good luck and make 2008 and 2009 the most prosperous year ever for your speaking, consulting and training business.
