Press Release Summary = In the February 2006 issue of Accent, Tom Lamm of the Accent
News Group dispels a couple of SEO myths and reveals what search engines really want
from a website.

Press Release Body = The ranking strategies of search engines are notoriously
mysterious and constantly evolving. In "Search Engine Optimization" (available at
http://www.EmphasisOnSuccess.com), technical writer Tom Lamm describes how Google
and other search engines "think" and offers some basic tips for avoiding SEO
pitfalls. Among his recommendations: create quality website content and make sure
title, header and description tags accurately reflect that content; build quality
inbound links and avoid "link farms"; and write HTML code to recognized (W3C)
standards.

"There are a lot of myths and misunderstandings surrounding SEO work," noted Lamm,
owner of Osage Enterprises (http://www.osageinc.com), a virtual firm specializing in
website design, custom Web programming and search engine optimization. "Sadly, many
disreputable firms take advantage of them."

Marketing is the focus of Accent's entire February 2006 edition. Readers will also
find articles on:

. Generating buzz on your business
. Using creative marketing to grow your company
. Developing a brand identity: making your business stand out
. Common marketing mistakes you don't want to make

In March the Accent news team will explore communications. Articles will cover such
topics as e-mail etiquette, VoIP, broadband wireless and online message boards for
virtual professionals.

Started in summer 2005, Accent delivers information, resources and solutions that
enable virtual professionals and small business owners to excel in today's
marketplace. The e-zine was developed by the Accent News Group, a network of virtual
entrepreneurs that volunteers its expertise to help other business owners succeed.
Because members want to be an independent, informed voice for small business, the
Accent News Group is not affiliated with any company or organization.
