Jamie Low

If you need an excuse to distract yourself from work next Wednesday, I’m talking shop via webcast with the good folks over at the O’Reilly Tools of Change for Publishers group.  On Wednesday, October 14th, at 10:00am PST, I’m talking to Mac Slocum and Scott Harvey about Why Publishers Should Care About SEO.

And for you free-loaders out there, well… it’s free.  (Ok, it’s free for everybody.)  If you want to harass me during the Q&A, you can register here.)

From the O’Reilly TOC blog:

Tools of Change for Publishing will host a free webcast with search engine optimization (SEO) expert Jamie Low on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 1 p.m. eastern (10 a.m. pacific).

Jamie will use a conversational format and live search queries to examine SEO elements and techniques, including:

• how publishers can get ranked for specific queries related to their content
• why some pages earn top spots in search listings and others fail to advance
• how to evaluate SEO strategies that will support real-world business objectives

Over the next year, you’ll probably hear me talking about our new startup called Joblr.  I’ve signed on as a founding partner, and we’re working toward a beta launch later this fall.  I’ll explain more about what this is later, once we’re close enough to make the announcements.  But for now, I’m writing this short post for two primary reasons:

1. We’re working to dominate the Google SERP for “joblr” by building out new pages on our own sites, adding profiles on social media sites, and linking back to our branded domain, Joblr.net.  This blog post is a naked attempt at creating original content that will eventually show up somewhere in the top 100;
2. We’re getting a head start on solidifying the Joblr.net domain as the first result in Google for all eternity.  A link from this post (and all the others we’re creating) are already working to make that happen.

So here’s a question for anybody bothering to read this: What’s the first thing you think of when you read the word “Joblr”?  What do you think this could possibly be?
