SEO Lessons from Google

According to a thread over at Webmaster World Google's Adam Lasnik will be teaching a seminar called "Optimizing Your Websites for Google Search." The class costs $30 and will be held at Catholic University in D.C. on September 18th.

There seems to be some confusion on whether or not you need to be a government employee to take advantage of the class, but here's a description of what will be taught:

“If you build it, they will come.” What do you do when you aren’t getting the traffic from search engines that you expected? We’ll cover the basics of how search engines work and how you can successfully adjust your site to be both human and search-engine-friendly. From live site dissections (no holds barred!) to jargon-busting (what’s a 301 redirect and why should you care?) to lots of Q&A, this session will be absolutely interactive and packed full with actionable information.
