Ask James a specific question...

Aired: Nov 15, 2006

Information: James and Charles talk about how to get the most out of the handbook. James has recently completed an online bootcamp with owners of the handbook. The next online bootcamp starts November 15th. James will be at Webmaster World's "PubCon" in Vegas on the 14th, 15th and 16th. This is an annual meeting of webmasters and search engine companies getting together to talk about what is happening in the world of search engines. The online bootcamp is basically the process of walking people through the handbook step by step on a very specific timetable. James and Charles review the online bootcamp and what James thought about how he feels about the success of the bootcamp. Participants in the bootcamp appreciated the interactivity of the bootcamp. It was also a big plus that others like Mary and Jamie Ferguson talking about their PAD experience and Bronwyn talking about inbound links – it wasn’t all James Martell talking about the process. James and Charles talk about the success of some students. Some students aren’t aware that there are online video tutorials accessible on the updates page. Whenever someone reading the handbook sees the video icon in the handbook it is an indication that there is a video available for that subject. Staples has set up a service that will allow owners of the handbook to send them the handbook file to be printed – normally this would not be possible with such a large PDF file. James and Charles talk about the importance of taking each step one at a time and not jumping ahead. The secret to doing things is to not move to the next step until you fully complete the one you are working on. James says that as good as the online bootcamp is, it really isn’t necessary to make things work if people just follow the steps in the handbook. There are new things on the updates page so don’t forget to login.
