I'm heading south, and then South by Southwest
EventsSEOmoz is sending Jeff to South by Southwest Interactive, quite possible the most awesomeist conference. Ever.

This post is breaking format with tradition here at SEOmoz, but I think a good shaking up of the status quo is in order. I'm going to simply rant, in rough paragraph form, about 7 issues in the search world. I'm going to be generally more expressive, less forgiving and pull fewer punches (for which I fully expect to take some heat). WebMasterWorld and Cloaking...
On March 26th, I'll be speaking on the Linkbaiting, Social Search Marketing & Blogging panel in Munich, Germany. My intention is to bring examples of the ideas and strategies that have been so effective in the English-language market to German SEOs & website marketers. However, I could use a bit of help - my Ge...
The Public Media Conference in Boston proved to be one of the most unique audiences I've ever spoken to. Rather than webmasters and business owners, the crowd consisted primarily of reporters, station executives and public media contributors. These folks share the interests and goals of traffic, branding, influence and connection, despite the difference in focus (profit vs. relevance & fund...
In order to please the masses, Rand once again chained me to my desk and ordered me to do a recap of SES London in an amusing comic book fashion. Thanks to Jeff and his spiffy MacBook (ComicLife yo!), this time I was able to create this batch of comics much easier than SES Chicago's Flash-tastrophe. Thanks, Jeff! Anyway,...
In about a week and a half, Rand and I will be road-tripping to Portland to attend SEMpdx's day conference, SearchFest. Rand has reached a near-godlike status in the conference sphere, in that he was asked to speak at the conference and is allowed to pick a topic of his choosing. As a result, Rand will be performing his one-man show, "Fishkin: Whitehat, Ho...
My word. There is some really excellent stuff to chew on this week. Get ready to put 40 minutes on hold during your lunch break today and read through some of these - might I suggest an order of Thai curry fried rice or some Korean spicy tofu soup for today's material? ...
Tonight finds me in a 35th floor hotel room in Boston, Massachusetts, trying to get on East Coast time so I can wake up early tomorrow for the Public Media 2007 conference. I've been invited by the folks at NPR & PBS to speak on the...
Much like how I shared The Best Things I Overheard at SES Chicago, I thought I'd enlighten the readers with the best, funniest, most outrageous, or downright random things said and heard at SES London: “What dialect did he speak?”--Rand, asking about an unintelligible Brit t...
I'm sick as a dog, but the people must have their blogs, and so I bring you tidbits - good ones, though. My presentation on Analytics was great fun (download the PPT here). I fought a bit with Brian Clifton from Google Analytics - do they really have action tracking? Last time I looked (a few months bac...
Yesterday around 5pm, I noticed myself getting sick - I had a run in with Dax from Webguerrilla, who had just come back from the London Free Clinic, where he was told that he "had a virus. Nothing to do but wait... Sorry old chap." Now I've got the bloody infection, have lost my voice, am speaking on the analytics panel in a few hours and woke up to find this note on Scott's bed: ...
London's been a bit of whirlwind for all of the mozzers. My first two nights here featured the same thrilling insomnia that characterized my last visit to London - remember these? Luckily, at this point, I'm well rested and able to cognitiv...
Just a heads up to our readers and to any SES London attendees: tomorrow evening Rand, Scott, and I will be hopping on a red eye flight to London to attend the SES conference. We'll be in the UK from February 11 until the 16th. Expect lighter posting from the three of us while we're out and about in jolly ol' England. If you're attending the conference, be sure to congratulate Rand on his ...
Yesterday brought us the biggest news the SEO world has had in sometime - Google's Webmaster Central is showing relatively accurate and complete link data. When stacked against Yahoo!'s Site Explorer, this stuff looks pretty amazing. Webmasters are going to find themselves with a lot more link anal...
