I feel I owe a large part of my success to their education and teaching methods.<\/p>\n<p>In 2006, Search Engine Workshops began offering franchises to accommodate the budding growth of our industry, and I briefly considered going into the teaching field, because I loved the subject.<\/p>\n<p>However, things were not to be, and my career took a different path. Oregon would have to wait for a qualified and capable curriculum for search engine marketing to come along for a while longer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now in 2007, the day is finally here where you can learn world-class SEO skills in Oregon<\/strong>, without having to buy a plane ticket, and I&#8217;m happy to announce my own affiliation with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sea-oregon.com\" target=\"_blank\">Search Engine Academy of Oregon<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sea-oregon.com\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The owner, Colleen Wright, has agreed to offer my readers a 10% discount for all of their class offerings, beginning in October 2007.<\/p>\n<p>Check out their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sea-oregon.com\">website<\/a>, and give them a look &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><strong>To get 10% off<\/strong> be sure to enter this coupon code &#8220;commander&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is valid ONLY <\/strong>through their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pdxtc.com\/sew-oregon\" target=\"_blank\">online SEO Class registration<\/a> and will not be honored otherwise, or after the fact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I first wanted to take classes in search engine optimization, my options were pretty limited, and there were no Oregon search engine marketing classes offered anywhere that I was aware of.
