Down under or Thai? Aussie mum trades Oz for Land of Smiles

[MrHammer]

Hey there,

I'm working as a SEO specialist at the moment outside Thailand, but I'm planning to visit Thailand and Bangkok sometime in the spring/early summer. I was thinking of doing an SEO workshop if enough people are interested?

I am guessing there are a lot of people with small businesses, webshops and internet marketers in Thailand who could probably benefit from ranking higher in Google search results. That's where search engine optimization comes in. I'm employed in one of the largest european SEO firms and I've helped all kinds of businesses get higher rankings in Google and therefore higher profits.

SEO seems difficult from the outside and the forums are full of half truths. If I were to run a workshop, I'd teach things like optimizing your website optimally for the search engines and how to build backlinks to your site. I am thinking, I could teach quite a lot practical advice in a full day.

Would this be something you would be interested in participating and paying for?

Got a work permit have you?

Got a work permit have you?

Thanks for reminding me of this. I would get a temporary work permit (Tor Tor 11) valid for 15 days. It's the work permit they use for visiting pro golfers, rockstars and such

So, yes, everything would be perfectly legal and ok.

I just went to Google and punched in < SEO Workshop Bangkok > and your listing came up #4 courtesy of ThaiVisa.com -- so now I know at least one of the secrets... however look out for #5 who has been doing SEO in Thailand for almost 10 years.

Already got the SEO I need thanks, don't need to pay to be told what I already know, unless you are going to really spill the secrets

Cool! Happy to see there is interest in something like this. I am definitely going to go ahead with this and see when we can make this happen. I will update this thread along the way.

Secrets will be spilled! Seriously though, I am thinking the workshop would focus on practical, time tested and proven application of SEO methods that bring long term results. That's not to say we wouldn't touch on some black hat and automated stuff. I am a big fan of outsourcing or automating time consuming tasks and focus on the areas that bring the highest ROI.
