Howie Schwartz Takes the Stage at StomperNet

Howie Schwartz, reformed Spammer, is on the stage right now at StomperNet. He’s discussing Web 2.0 and how you can use it to dominate the searches with Universal Search in Google.

Pretty awesome stuff. Even I’m impressed. Some takeaways:

- Use Google News to your advantage through Press Releases.
- Blog aggressively
- Target “Long Tail” phrases of those who are in the buying funnel. Ignore the others.
- Ignore the data from WordTracker.
- Get into video, and use it to promote your services and products
- If you have products, use Google Base (formerly Froogle)

In “RainLanta” for StomperNet

What happened to “HOTlanta”? Nothing but rain today … so that means no Braves-Mets game tonight…

I’m down at the StomperNet event through the weekend. If you’re down here, look me up, I love talking search.
