We’ve just put a new site together for Speedmaster Conference Centre. Most of the content won’t be changing much, the usual about us and what we do pages that make up a brochure site, but there will be a news and events feed.

Wordpress is perfect for this kind of thing and so we’ve knocked together a template based on a rather attractive design by Ten and a Half. Now I’m installing various plugins to make the whole thing a little bit more search engine friendly and setting up Google Webmaster Tools.

OK fine, you’re thinking, so why the post. Well, what’s nice about this project is that after we have sorted out the technical details and ironed out the kinks, we can get loads of links and traffic by posting pictures of what people will be spilling their canapes over when the conference centre opens. Why do people love pictures of cars?

Now, I’m aware of the heated discussion taking place over at search engine land about the seo-quiz, but regardless of whether or not you agree with the answers you have to admire seomoz’s viral marketing chops! A quiz combined with a flattering badge and star wars reference, now that’s impossible to resist for your average web maven.

Needless to say I had to take it a couple of times until it gave me the answer I was looking for and I even learnt a thing or two - I’m looking at you yahoo!
