Measuring Success
How do you know if you've been successful with search engines? You can check your "rank" at search engines for particular keywords, analyze log files to see the actual terms people used to reach your web site or make the ultimate jump and "close the loop" by measuring sales conversions and return-on-investment (ROI). This panel explores ways to measure success and what statistics you should really care about.

Paid Inclusion & Trusted Feeds
Why pay to be included in a search engine's listings without a guarantee of ranking well for particular terms? Done right, the more representation a site has in a search engine, the more likely it is to naturally rank well for a variety of targeted terms. That can mean highly-qualified traffic at a price less than obtained through paid placement programs. Come get an overview of paid inclusion, learn how trusted feeds allow you to send a data stream to search engines, hear advice from those who've used various programs offered and pose questions to paid inclusion vendors during Q&A.;
