Yesterday I spoke at the Shop.org Online Marketing Workshop. I had previously spoken at a Shop.org summit in Las Vegas last September, and Larry Joseloff invited me and my fellow panelists back for another session. Our topic was "Keeping the Customers in Focus: Customer-Centric Search and Affiliate Marketing." Allan Dick from...
Yesterday I had my roundup all written and when I hit "Publish" the blog editor decided to just instead refresh and wipe half my post. Sorry for the delay--here you go. Stories, news, and other notable items from the past week:

Sorry this roundup is delayed. I had the damn thing about 60% completed earlier today, but then Mel brought in a pig full of beer, which we proceeded to drink during lunch. A couple of glasses later, I returned to my desk and inadvertently hit whichever combination of keys on my keyboard is the equivalent to the "Back" button on my browser, thus losing my post. After work, I went to the ...
Jeff, our CTO and lead developer-with-a-beard, had recently expressed to me his desire to speak at conferences and events. Fantastic! ...except for one problem. There are no developer-centric tracks at any SEO conferences. SES? Zip. SMX? Zilch. Pubcon has had a smattering of developer-related sessions that were, according to Jeff, weak sauce. SXSW is the only conference to offer developer sessions...
Stories, news, and other notable items from the past week: One star links: This article sucks. These people aren't SEOs, they're spammers, and there's an inherent difference. STOP BEING STUPID, journalists....
Sorry for my noted absence lately. Last weekend I went up to Vancouver, BC, for fun times to be had, gained roughly 20 lbs from gorging at two seriously awesome restaurants, drove back down to Seattle, and promptly got picked up by Rand so we could drive further down to Portland for SEMpdx's Searchfest 2008. On the way down I had ...

This roundup will include news and links from last week that I missed because I was attending SMX West. Three star links: Four star links: Five star links: YOUmoz entries: Link Exchange 2.0: Page Exchange. E...
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!...
All week people have been saying, "There's a quote for your Overheard post!" Granted, some have been a little scandalous, but this conference, like any other I've been to, has had plenty of memorable quotes. Without further ado: "I work there because they pay really well." -- Tony Adam, talking about Paypal "Do they deposit your money throug...
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...
