    COLUMBUS, OH, September 14, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Webbed Marketing, a social media marketing and search engine optimization company in central Ohio, will share its expertise in the industry when Chief Innovation Officer and Founder Bill Balderaz and Chief Reality Officer and Partner Amy Marshall present at several significant industry events this fall.

"We continue to do bigger and better things at Webbed, and I'm excited for the opportunities we have this fall," Balderaz said. "These speaking engagements allow us to share with other people who are equally passionate about online marketing developments, and serve as an opportunity to shed light on the impressive work we're doing here at Webbed Marketing."

Franklin University welcomed Balderaz's expertise in social media at its Symposium on Social Media, Thursday, Sept. 10 from 5-7 p.m. in Ross Auditorium. The symposium featured a panel of local experts, including Stephanie Busak, digital marketing director, Bob Evans; Joe Cortez, Columbus' resident celebrity tweeter; Dan Harris, founder, Tastecasting.com and Franklin alum; Ryan Squire, social media program director, Communications and Marketing, OSU Medical Center; Janice Worthington, Worthington Career Services.

Staying a step ahead in the Internet marketing field, Webbed Marketing's monthly webinar will be discussing Google Caffeine. Google Caffeine is the latest "tweak" in Google's algorithm, which affects how Web sites rank at Google's search engine. This most recent "algo-change" is expected to provide more pages in Google's search results, in addition to being much faster. The webinar will address how this will affect your Web site's search engine rankings. The webinar is Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 2 p.m.

Webbed Marketing is honored to be invited to the Internet Marketing Conference at the Dana Center in Toledo, Ohio. The conference will discuss Internet marketing applications and opportunities and challenges. Balderaz will be presenting on "Social Network Marketing, Case Studies, and Tips to Take Home." The day-long event will feature several prestigious speakers, including Jennifer Stone from Google and Michael Temple, president of Temple Development Company, LLC.

Balderaz will also be presenting at Bowling Green University's "Competing Through Services Marketing in Today's Economy" symposium from 11 a.m. to noon, Tuesday, Oct. 20. Along with Balderaz, who is leading a breakout session, "How to Influence Viral Marketing and Word of Mouth Communications," several other top marketing experts will be presenting at the day-long event, including Dana Stepp, from Hewlett Packard and Casey Adams from Cabela's Incorporated.

The October webinar presented by Webbed Marketing, "How to get Google to notice your Web site," will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 2 p.m. The webinar will discuss a question facing a lot of companies: "I have industry-leading products and great service, but why isn't Google getting the message?" Companies who are not ranking well for their best search terms will greatly benefit from this webinar by learning the five things that can be done today to start improving search engine ranking and drive qualified customers to a Web site.

Finally, in December, Balderaz will travel to Cleveland, Ohio to share with the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) about "Managing your On-line Reputation & Using Blogs to Communicate with Your Customers."
