New Venue for Dallas/Fort Worth Search Engine Marketing Association

Special guest Jack Dearnbarger will be the first speaker at the new meeting location as he discusses how viral marketing can help gain link popularity

The Dallas/Fort Worth Search Engine Marketing Association (http://www.dfwsem.org) will welcome guest speaker Jack Dearnbarger to their new meeting location, The Grand Hotel in Dallas, Texas. Dearnbarger is the Senior Director of Account Services for the Dallas-based creative agency Blockdot (http://www.blockdot.com) where he oversees online branding campaigns using Advergaming and other branded entertainment strategies. Dallas/Fort Worth Search Engine Marketing Association (DFWSEM) members and guests alike are invited to hear Dearnbarger speak about how businesses can create a “buzz” online while gaining links by using various viral marketing strategies.

In Dearnbarger’s experiences with Advergaming, branded online games usually seen on corporate websites, viral marketing practices can benefit a business or website on many levels. They can create a “buzz” surrounding a brand or website and as a result, increase the amount of links directed to a particular site. This can provide a great boost to any search engine marketing campaign or the search engine rankings for a particular website. Search engine marketers are invited to hear more about Dearnbarger’s unique experiences with interactive marketing and how they can enhance a search engine marketing campaign.
