Jill’s the Queen of SEO and High Ranking Seminar.

Jill Whalen, the SEO Queen, will be running a Search Marketing Seminar at the end of the month in the San Francisco area.

Why do I call Jill the SEO Queen you ask?

I’ve been reading Jills newsletters for years. She started Rank Write Roundtable with Heather Lloyd-Martin, back in June 2000, and then in 2002 she split off with her own newsletter – The High Rankings Advisor newsletter (see archive).

I remember when Jill moved on from ihelpyou forum and started her own High Rankings Forum in July of 2003.  And with a forum topic called "SEO No-No’s" you were sure to just be on the sane side of "white hat preaching" (Doug being "insane white".).

Today when I clicked "Todays most popular posters" I see Jill has already commented 26 times this morning…and it’s only 10:00am in the morning for her!….yea, ya know how women love to gab…hehe…I also see that there’s 126 usersonline at 10:00 am EST…not bad for and "off time"! It looks like the forum has been a major success as well!

Jill is also the author of The Nitty-gritty of Writing for the Search Engines ($49). As well as she’s been an industry conference speaker at the SES conferences.

In 2002 I won a drawing that Jill was giving in her newsletter for a Free SES San Jose pass. That was a dream trip for me. I met Jill, Bruce, Larry, Sergey, Matt (in the days before he was mobbed), and several more people whom I highly looked up to. At that conference I sat front row center with my notepad in hand, and thought – Someday I want to be a speaker – that’s my goal. (achieved!).

Jills site at highrankings.com has also held some killer rankings over the years.  Yea, I think she’s the Queen of SEO.

Ah yes…..so here’s the News….Jill and High Rankings are having a Search Marketing Seminar at the end of the month in the San Francisco area.

Reports are that the speakers will be:
Jill Whalen, Scottie Claiborne, Karon Thackston, Christine Churchill, Matt Bailey and Diane Aull.

I’ve met and read some great works by Scottie, and Christine has been a friend for years.  Christine has written some fabulious articles as well (and from NetMechanic days) and runs Key Relevance among other SEO Projects.
