Today, instead of playing in the uber-rare Seattle sunshine, I spent the day polishing off the PRO Training seminar schedule and it looks amazing. I'm excited to see these sessions myself (and I rarely sit through presentations). Check it out for yourself below; if you're inclined and available, we'd love to see you.Oh, and don't wo...
Yabba Dabba Doooo! Ok, I have no idea what the Flintstones has to do with SEO training, but the point is... I'm excited. It's that time of year again when we open up registration for the PRO Training Series: Tips, Tricks and Tactics. See! Now do you get why I'm so giddy? As with every year, we have a killer lineup of speakers and topics. Plus we've brought back the highly acclaimed "Ice Cr...
Somehow, my flight from Seattle landed just before the newest Icelandic ash cloud began shutting down airports across UK airspace. As a result, I was able to present at SMX London this morning. The presentation is included below. This slide deck focuses on things that are probably in the search engines' r...
Last week Jen and I attended the Search & Social Summit here in my backyard of Tampa Bay. This isn't your typical conference recap post, though. I wanted to focus on the action items that still stand out for me a week later, the things will make a difference in what I do or how I do it. Perhaps you'll rethink the way you do a thing or two as well.

Whew! The Spring conference season is in full swing, and the mozzers are coming soon to a city near you. You'll find us anywhere from Charlotte, NC to Barcelona to Singapore in the next couple months. The coolest part is that we're attending and speaking at some conferences for the very first time. It feels good to get out and stretch a bit! Plus, the developer in us will be attending conferenc...
Last week I attended SMX West in Santa Clara, California and took a couple flip video cameras along. I thought it would be fun to do "man on the street" interviews, somewhat along the lines of Jay Le...
SMX West 2010 kicked off with quite a bang (or was that a yell?). Since Microsoft's CEO, Steve Ballmer was the keynote, people arrived early to ensure good seats. The music playing before it started was amazing, it helped to create an excitement in the room that I really had never felt before a keynote before. I had attempted to save a seat for someone up front, but there was just too much demand and had to give it up. That's the sort of thing that happens at a great concert, not a conference keynote.
The holidays are long over, 2010 is well underway, we've launched a new product, made a big announcement... and it's barely February! While our amazing development and product teams are busily building new tools as I type (and I'm not even kidding, those guys work a lot), some of us are hitting the road. For the next couple months, the SEOmoz team will be galavanting across the globe attendi...
A Thanksgiving edition of the weekly search roundup with all the fixings. From Google SERP changes to actionable analytics insights, this week's post is full of more stuffing than Grandma's turkey.
PubCon does an amazing job of putting together a schedule that covers a multitude of tracks and topics. Unfortunately because of this I often end up with a case of "session envy." You know, when you're sitting in a session and you start to see tweets about how great another session is. It doesn't even mean that the one you're in is bad, it's just that you want to be in tw...
In a week dominated by Veterans Day news stories and Pubcon coverage, Google and Bing announced several product changing rollouts, as well as some game changing acquisitions. ...
This post really doesn't need much of an introduction, so I'll get right down to it. Pubcon is coming! Pubcon is cooommiiinnnnggggg! It seems like the whole industry might just shut down for a week while we take over Las Vegas (I hope they're ready for us). This would probably be a great time for spammers to come in and take over our SERPs since we'll be busy in sessions, going to parties, meeting...
SEO conferences can be amazing opportunities for education and networking, but to get the most out of them, you have to survive until the end. If your average SEO conference is an endurance event, then PubCon is the Iron Man – 3 full days of sessions, followed by sponsored parties, followed by being dragged around Vegas by crazy people, topped off by a full afternoon of even more drinking (j...
The 1st half of October saw its fair share of search news, announcements, & blogger-mama drama. And from Twitter search to Google Analytics' new roll out, there were plenty of headlines beyond the back-and-forth between Derek Powazek & Danny Sullivan.
