Your SEO May Be More Important Than Your CEO -- NMI Explains the Importance of Search Engine Optimization
New York, NY (PRWEB) May 1, 2008 -- In this new media age, if a company's products or services can not be found within the first page of search engine results, they may be doomed to failure. Search engine optimization (http://www.newmedia.org/pages/Search-Engine-Optimization-Training-%26-Conference-%252d-New-York-City.html) should be a major focus for any company that relies on attracting new customers.
"If your company does not have a solid search engine optimization strategy, your CEO may be looking for a new job," warned John Spagnuolo, President of the New Media Institute (http://www.newmedia.org). "Your organization needs to be found when potential customers are looking for information online."

"Wherever the position is filed within an organization, a good SEO executive should have both a strong technical background and strong marketing/communications skills to be able to develop an effective SEO strategy.
