I missed last week while we put on the SEO Class, which went very well. We had a nice turnout of non-profit organizations, and were able to cover some excellent material that should help with driving more targeted, relevant traffic to their sites. Plenty of folks had nice things to say, and I’m sure we’ll have their testimonials up in the near future. Without further ado - here’s this week (and some of last weeks) favorites:
