Online Training & Distance Learning

This is a hot business today! Who do you find if you query search engines?
Lots of possibilities (competition) is the answer – and we get very different results
depending on the search term we use. Universities do better under "Distance Learning.
Logically, computer training is commanding a major presence in "online training" searches;
medical training is also listing well.

Glenn Hoyle’s Distance Learning Site http://www.hoyle.com/distance.htm
both lists and informs well! Peterson's Distance Learning Channel
http://www.petersons.com/dlearn/ is another strong online learning education
channel which provides information on accredited distance learning
programs. Our favorite named site has to be fatbrain.com.
If your company provides these services – see if you are well listed
(or is it your competitor?) If you want strong visibility in search engine
results – you need to effectively optimize your pages or you’ll be at the
back of the book!
