Details:

Is your website doing all it can to get you work? Are you feeling  
overwhelmed when it comes to optimizing your studio’s website for  
high search engine rankings? Torn between usability and aesthetics  
when designing your site? In this three-hour seminar, Blake Discher  
shares his experience in how he succeeds in having his website  
consistently place at the top of the major search engines. This has  
led to increased visibility for his business and increased billings.

Photographers, studio managers and artist’s representatives who  
attend this evening seminar will learn about the importance of proper  
keyword phrases and links, site design, and copywriting that is  
search engine-friendly. There are several ways to get your website  
highly ranked; learn more about pay-per-click search engine marketing  
and how to achieve excellent organic search results. In addition,  
Blake will discuss how to effectively implement a link-building  
campaign to increase Page Rank, perhaps the single most important  
aspect of search engine optimization.

About Blake Discher:

Detroit Photographer Blake Discher specializes in people and travel  
photography for editorial, advertising and corporate clients. He  
combines his photographic knowledge with today’s technology, mastery  
of lighting and people skills to provide images to leading editorial  
publications and Fortune 500 corporations for advertising and annual  
reports throughout the world.

Blake’s fascination with photography began in the eighth grade and  
he’s been hooked ever since. He unselfishly shares his knowledge of  
photography and marketing with students and other photographers  
through his involvement with the American Society of Media  
Photographers.

It’s Blake’s keen ability to make subjects feel at ease in front of  
the camera that takes him around the world to produce award-winning  
photographs for clients such as General Motors, DaimlerChrysler,  
American Airlines, and Oracle. “With the help of new technology, I  
can produce and deliver photographs much more efficiently, helping to  
meet today’s tight deadlines. Digital photography has dramatically  
improved my ability to work more closely with photo editors and art  
directors halfway around the world,” said Discher.

A professional photographer for 20 years, he shares his home with his  
wife Lesley and his two year old son Blake. When not working he’s  
usually tinkering with one of his British-made vintage Triumph  
automobiles. Examples of his work can be found at
