Find out how to get your stories found online, 6:30 pm March 16

Vanessa Fox, a former Google staffer and founder of Webmaster Central, will discuss search engine optimization at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 16, in the Murrow Room.

Fox will provide a primer on the best ways to get your stories to show up in Internet searches. In an event sponsored by the Professional Development Committee, she'll cover how search engines determine results; key ways of integrating search best practices; connecting with readers through search while maintaining the integrity of the story; how to optimize Google News, images, video and Web search; and personalization, social search, local search and real-time search.

Fox built Webmaster Central, which provides tools, information, and community for site owners about how their sites are performing in Google’s search engine. She also was instrumental in the sitemaps.org alliance of Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft Live Search and was deeply involved in the tech industry discussion around the move from print to online, particularly as it related to user documentation, training, and marketing.
