Search Engine Marketing Firm High Rankings® Awards Two Local Non-Profits Free Seats to Attend their SEM Seminar in Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (PRWeb) February 28, 2007 -- http://www.highrankings.com/msp - High Rankings®, a Search Engine Marketing (SEM) industry leader, is conducting a seminar in Minneapolis, MN March 15th-16th at the Crowne Plaza Northstar.

In attendance will be members of two Twin Cities based non-profit organizations; the National Center for Social Entrepreneurs, an organization dedicated to keeping non-profits economical -- and Upstream Arts, a non-profit devoted to improving the lives of disabled youth via arts education. Both organizations were awarded free seats to the seminar by High Rankings® on February 21st.

The High Rankings® Search Engine Marketing seminar will feature expert speakers sharing a complete SEM process that works. Unlike other search engine optimization (SEO) seminars, presenters will build upon one another's topics providing a proven method to increase quality website visitors.

Like many non-profits, Upstream Arts vision does not always match its budget. Executive Director Julie Guidry comments, "Upstream Arts' website already does a good job of informing parents about what seminars are available for their children." Guidry adds, "But improving our online marketing would mean that more parents of disabled children in the Twin Cities area could get access to vital information improving the care, education and joy in their kids' lives."

High Rankings® founder & CEO, Jill Whalen, a featured speaker at the event adds, "Upstream Arts provides an incredibly valuable service that is often hard to find for those who truly need it. Similarly, the National Center for Social Entrepreneurs can share valuable information with their extensive client list of non-profit organizations." Whalen further adds, "We wanted to reach out and give back to organizations that could benefit from using search engine marketing and also forward these benefits on to others."

Speakers and sessions at this seminar include:
- High Rankings® Founder & CEO Jill Whalen presenting "Technical SEO," "The Nitty Gritty of Writing for Search Engines" and "Putting it All Together"
- Marketing Words Inc. CEO Karon Thackston presenting "Copywriting for Success"
- KeyRelvance.com President Christine Churchill presenting "Effective Keyword Research & Paid Search",
