The Cambridge Search Engine Optimization Meetup Group!

Boston SEO networking group hosted its 37th event. The group which has about 450 members held its event just a building away from where Boston SEO Expert Nick Stamoulis from Brick Marketing spoke at the Arlington ebusiness Symposium last week. The event usually hosts industry guest speakers to lead the conversation, however this event was set up in a new format to have a moderated round table discussion.
