This sounds like a step in the right direction. I wish I could be a fly on the wall.

I have long felt that Google, MSN, Yahoo!, and Ask should all take an active role in teaching the SEO community how to do it right, or at least consistently.

They won't reveal the secret sauce. But they can demonstrate better than anyone how good content can be organized to assert relevance and achieve high rankings.

I signed up for this and will let you know. I mean it is 30 minutes away from me and $30 bucks... Why not go.

I may even be able to recruit some good peeps.

Will the classes be viewable or attendable online at any point? It would be great to be able to pay for the podcasts of the classes, to take at your leisure.

I doubt it.

Barry, you may want to update this post to link to the more recent post concerning Adam's request to SEOs not to attend the session, since its focus is more on accessibility.

Good suggestion Michael, updated above.

I checked the Israeli Issue from the Hebrew invitation - This is indeed a "Google Seminar" for Israeli Exporters but I'm afraid it will focus on Adwords campaign management and optimization (Give us your ad money please, high CPC= high *rankings*) , not Organic optimization.
