Marketing online is essential to a company’s growth and future success, and with technology and tactics changing by the minute, a strategy that worked yesterday may not be the best way to do things today.

Experts will present on a number of subjects, including the essentials of search engine optimization (SEO), search engine marketing (SEM), landing page optimization, local search, pay-per-click (PPC), social media marketing, website analytics, forums and blogs, video and more.

This year, the conference will offer two tracks; a fundamentals track for businesses and marketers just getting started and an intermediate/advanced track for those more experienced. The 2010 Online Marketing Conference has been custom-built to meet the needs of the specialty-equipment market, giving participants practical tips and tools that will immediately impact their businesses.

"We've gathered some of the top Internet marketing experts in their respective fields for this unprecedented conference,” says Tom Myroniak, SEMA vice president of marketing and member services. “Not only are they amazing presenters, but they are also top-rated educators with proven strategies and hidden secrets for online marketing success.”
