"4 Absolutes to Get Your Site Noticed on the Web"

Bill Belew, author of the popular series, Blogging for Traffic/Money http://www.billbelew.com/blog/how-to-blog-for-traffic/ , is a professional blogger = he pays his sizeable Silicon Valley mortgage through revenue from his blog network.

Bill has taken 9 different and unrelated topics to more than 1 million visitors EACH. And he knows just how he did it. Bill will teach us the 4 absolutes that every web site needs to be noticed on the web. Anyone with a will and the time to do so can apply them. And, the best news yet, they are FREE.

Read one of Bill's articles here. This is one of Bill's blogs about the 5 Qualities to look for in a Blog Consultant that I am really fond of. It will give you a sense for Bill's sensibilities!

Also, I asked Bill how we can HELP him since Sassy is all about GIVING and helping. At the end of his presentation, he is going to tell us about an orphanage that he has first had experience with in India and we will pass around the basket so those of you who have a few extra dollars or a check on you can make a donation. Thanks Bill!
