Thanks Erica; For sharing these amazing presentation. :) Personally I really like this one "You are So Much More than an SEO" by Wil Reynolds. Thanks Wil for this amazing presentation and for making us realize that we are so much more than an SEO.
Erica, thanks for this recap of Mozcon -- I'm looking forward to going through the rest of the decks and seeing the videos! Plus, I've been excited for Mozcon 2015 ever since I purchased my super early-bird ticket.
Just one question: Will there be a video of the MozCrawl as well? I bet that was the best part. :)
Yes! We'll see you at MozCon 2015. :D
Hahaha. There's not any video, but we do have some photos.
Psst, in case you missed the videos! You can get them here: https://moz.com/mozcon-videos.
I am thankful to you for providing such great presentation. But last time i saw the videos embed in the post. I downloaded them and it was very interesting and easy learning. But this time you gave them in slideshare presentation form which is very difficult for me to save in my TAB and play them. I am requesting you to give us the video of those. We all moz lover will be benefited by those.
So as noted at the top of this post, the videos will be available for purchase here in the coming weeks. :) These are just the decks.
MozCon sounds so interesting! I would love to attend som day in the future, but it is unfortunately not very practical. Do you upload videos from the event?
We do sell the MozCon videos. The 2014 ones aren't quite ready, but will be here when they're available.
Great, thank you for that, I will definitely check it out...
Here are the videos from 2014: https://moz.com/mozcon-videos.
Thanks Erica,
I like most the "Mad Science Experiments in SEO & Social Media" by Rand which has some great points, importance of social media profiles and fast caching the links through social media. Well done Erica by posting so many important presentation ! Thanks again.
@Wil Reynolds - What you said on slide 144 & 145 is absolutely important.
Too often we don’t want to give the customer the content they want…We give the content we want them to want.
Every Blogger & content creator should put this on a sticky note on their desk.
Thanks.
Even six months ago, this recap of Mozcon is still current. Although SEO is an evolving science, there is information that remain immutable as those found in the presentation of Stacey "Making More Efficient Content Marketing"
Thank you, Erica!
I'm looking forward to the videos! Rand's findings on ghost links were particularly interesting.

Hello Erica McGillivray
7 Empowering Presentations and More from MozCon this is very nice blog. i am waiting for the videos.
Psst, in case you missed the videos! You can get them here: https://moz.com/mozcon-videos.
Nice Blog.
I'm not understanding what you're saying here. Moz is the name of the company, not a person. There are many writers for the blog, and the author of this post is female.
We welcome comments on the blog, but do ask that they be related to the post, and show that the post has been read. Generic comments tend to collect thumbs down.
