Hi Dave ~ This is super advice. And wow – those are some pretty big events to have such lousy search placement. Great idea to capitalize on that.

I’ve been amazed at the number of hits I’ve gotten on some local event posts – fireworks, college graduations, a new store opening, etc. And it’s local traffic which is what you want of course – except in my case I get plenty of British searchers looking for info on graduation at Cambridge.

Great ideas, I have blogged about local events before, but never gone back and updated old posts from previous years. Do you think it would be good to go back and update, as well as blog about it again and link back to the old post from the new post?

This is a really great post. You just have to be really proactive and on top of things to make sites/pages for local events.

This is by far one of the most important things to remember when delivering information over the web. I ran across this same suggestion when I was thinking of using an image for my blog’s title. I found that there are some clever ways around losing keyword content and still keeping images, but by and far it’s much better to present the information textually. And yes, adding the year is an extra bonus tip I forgot about. Thanks for your informative post.

Dave, thanks for the reminder to add the “year” in the title. I haven’t been good at that but will make sure to do a better job in the future!
