If you've been following my "Leveraging Social Media for SEO" series, you may be interested in attending a meetup event next Monday, July 20, from 6:45 - 9:00 pm.  I'll be on a panel discussion talking about "Using Social Media for SEO" put on by the Atlanta Search Engine Optimization meetup group.  The cost is $10 and the location is the University of Phoenix off 400 in Dunwoody.

In addition to the "off-site" social media factors I've been discussing in this blog series (and will cover that evening), Peter Fasano of Mass+Logic will speak about "on-site" social media factors, such as integrating links to social media sites on your site, pushing content out, and more.  There will also be a third speaker giving a case study, and plenty of time for Q&A.  Mike Schinkel heads up the organization and this meeting, with assistance from Jack Ogilvie and Eric Werner.
