Search Engine Optimization/Social Media Optimization

Agenda for Day 11 SEO Section of class

For the discussion, I will pull from the book The Art of SEO. If you have time, you can browse through the foreword and Chapter 1, which is posted on Google Books. I also linked a couple of PDFs with some SEO-relevant Research. I will try to make sure this is informative and helpful for the class.
