InventYourFuture Presentation

I just gave (performed?) a session on 'How to Become Visible on the Web' (aka 'You Don't Generate Interest or Sales If They Can't Find You'). It was a crowd of small business owners, corporate women and women who are ready to go from small to large businesses. You can find the presentation at: www.webmama.com/inventyourfuture (a few MBs of PPT). As usual I used the fire hose technique to educate people on the opportunities and complexity of search engine marketing in standard search, news, images, video, blogs, rss, local, etc, etc.....

It was a GREAT conference coined the The Entrepreneurial Skills Conference. I will be posting about the next one as soon as it is announced. A bottle of really good Napa Valley Cab to the first person who can figure out why they can't get into the Google index.

YouTube Videos You Don't Want To See in Google Results - BUT YOU WILL Like It Or NOT!

Searching for shoes on Google brings up shoes.com and zappos.com like usual, but stuffed in between is a YouTube result. The description reads like - well - someone who uses a lot of swear words to get their point across. I hope Google is going to start filtering this kind of content. Assuming that YouTube tags and content around the videos is 'safe' content is a mistake. I don't think they want the word fuc#!!k to show up in their results for consumer-based words like shoes. I certainly don't want to see it.

Here is a link to the live results. Here is a link to the screen shot in case Google takes the action they should.

Come on Guys. Even though you own the YouTube content doesn't mean we want to see it.
