With SMX West behind us, I thought it would be interesting to reflect back on something that we hadn't ever done at any other conference: operate a booth. I have to say that attending a conference when you have a booth is an entirely different experience than attending without one. Below I'll provide my input, Rand's thoughts, and some helpful tips from a cranky Irishman who's had plenty of experi...
Next Monday, March 10th, is Searchfest 2008, a day conference organized by SEMpdx, Portland's SEM community. I've created an event for Searchfest, so if you plan on going, sign up!...
This morning I went running, hopped in the shower, and ran to the conference, hair still wet, because I didn't want to miss the Generation Google panel. I was excited to hear more about Harrison Gevirtz, a sixteen year old affiliate marketer, and Chloe Spencer, Stephan Spencer's daughter and a blogger who makes a good chunk of dough from AdSense earnings. Joining the...
Yesterday I attended sessions, met some new folks, and attended Search Bowl. Below is a brief recap and my opinions of Day 1 of SMX West. Recent Legal News About Search Clarke Walton went over search ad trademark policies. Google has the easiest trademark policies to understand. They allow trademarks ...

If there's one thing that doesn't seem to receive terribly much attention, it's image and video search. There has usually been a session at every conference, but images were often ignored in favour of both paid and regular organic search. Along came blended results and everybody takes more notice.
I'm incredibly tired. So dead, it's hard to take out my contact lenses (you know how they stick sometimes? Yeah, I hate that). Here's a log of today's events: 7:50am - Wake up at hotel in San Francisco, shower 8:45am - Catch cab to International Orange 9:15-10:45am - Take first ever Yoga class (wow ...

Due to an unavoidable client meeting I had to miss the first session on the final day of SES London 2008; from speaking to a few people it sounds like I missed some good ones, so here's hoping the rest of the day keeps up the quality. Session 2: Dynamic Websites: Beyond The BasicsIf there's such a think as an all-star team in SEO then the panel here p...

I'm attending the first day of SES London as an unofficial SEOmoz correspondent. Rather than providing a live-blogging "he said; she said" commentary Rand has asked me to provide overviews & analytic commentary; I'll certainly do my best, but if I end up talking about what I had for my lunch you'll know that Rand got the wrong guy for the job. The day got off to...

First off, a quick apology. I had posted this on Monday night without first checking with our nominees to ensure they could attend. I've now done so and thus, have a list of potential competitors who will be present if called upon! For those who may be confused, next month at the inaugural SMX West search marketing conference, two intrepid search marketers will take on teams from ...
