USA Today is featuring an article about the man I call "fearless leader" - Danny Sullivan. A quick excerpt: Sullivan, 40, says he shares common roots with employees at Google and Yahoo, even though he works thousands of mile...
Thanks to Joe Morin, SES' official party coordinator, for the heads up on the party schedule for SES San Jo. The party thread on SEW is now live and ready for more private/semi-private/rumored events. So far, we've got: Sunday Night - bar ...
Sorry for the delay, but I didn't realize how truly indispensable I was until I left town for a few days. Once I got back it was nothing but, "Rebecca, Rebecca, the company almost went under without you! Fix this! Help me! Where are my yellow Pumas?" Okay, now that I'm done with my illusions of grandeur, the following is an exhaustively comprehensive recap of my trip to Miami for the ina...
Good news on San Jose for all my conference considering amigos - SEOmoz will be completely over-represented Danny has booked me to speak on three different topics: On Monday, August 7th from 4-5:30pm, I'll be speaking on S...
Rebecca here blogging live (oooh, I'm such a workhorse) from SES en maravillosa Miami. I've been to a few seminars so far, and while the fundamental seminars have been chock full of knowledge, the real fun's at the landscapes & tactics track courses. I've seen all sorts of great statistics about Latin American and Hispanic demographics and markets, and I see a great opportunity for SEO and ...
Finally, someone did an interview with one of the best and brightest in the industry. Thanks to Mr. Pratt (he's fond of that moniker, apparently), Bill Slawski, one of my favorite people, is featured today on SEOBuzzBox. I do take issue with Pratt's first statement, though: ...
At long last, I'm back in Seattle, and after reading through and answering just over 600 emails (and deleting/ignoring another 12-1500), I'm finally ready to start blogging again. The trip, I have to say, was fantastic. I've amassed some photos from the London SES show here, but they represent on...
The London SES show has been one of the best for me in terms of learning new material. As is typical, the best nuggets of information have come outside the conference arena itself. Some highlights: From a trustworthy source - Googlebowling is totally possible, but you need to use patterns that would show that the site has "participated" in the program. What does tha...
I owe a big one to Allan Dick, who bought dinner tonight for myself, Danny Sullivan, Ammon Johns, Chris Sherman and about a dozen other SESers here in London. Unbelievably, I still have not slept since Sunday night, but managed to truly enjoy the wine, crab cakes and top-notch beef and Guiness pie. In return, I thought I'd take a quick dive over to Alan's site - a veritable haven for th...
My friend Dan Thies is running a free training session next week - Boiling SEO Down To The Essentials. My guess is that Dan will be running through many of the more pervasive myths in the SEO world and highlighting the successful tactics he's used to become...
It's certainly odd seeing people you normally only run into thousands of miles from home right in your backyard, but I'd have to say that for a one-day event, the Seattle gig was phenomenally valuable, not just for the audience, but for the connections. Highlights included: Google's Adwords & AdSense reps getting grilled by the audience about several items, i...
As Joe Morin, SEW's official party coordinator, will be announcing tomorrow (Friday) at the event, there will be an informal after-party for particpants, organizers, speakers and yes, even the search engineer folks at... Seattle's Musicquarium above the Triple Door. The venue seats 150 and can easily accomodate all of us searc...
Next Friday, in Seattle's Hotel Monaco, the SearchEngineWatch crew, including Danny Sullivan, Joseph Morin, Elisabeth Osmeloski (our esteemed organizer), Dana Melick, Heather Lloyd Martin, myself and several reps from each of the major search engines will be presenting to a small audience on SEO, SEM & website marketing. It's called ...
Last night, Kat and I went to dinner with some friends from one of the major four search engines. The problem is, apparently, they can all drink me under the table... and did. I can't reveal much about the night, suffice to say that this morning, Kat left me the following note after discovering my condition: Sorry you had a roug...
