Conference season has started again. If you are an eager (search) marketer wanting to learn stuff you can really make some steps in the next few months with lots of conferences around. Off course State of Search will be present. Sometimes speaking, sometimes blogging.

Mid-September we will be at SMX Stockholm where no less than three bloggers are speaking. A week before that however is SMX New York. We will try to get coverage from there too. Leading up to SMX East we are already looking forward to this conference. We talked to organizer, editor in chief of Searchengineland, and probably the most famous person in search next to Matt Cutts, Danny Sullivan about the show and his view on the current developments in search. Danny talks about his job as an organizer, what we can expect from the show and also gives us an insight into his thoughts about the changing industry. (more…)

Extreme Makeover , The SEO Edition – London SMX

The graveyard session was possibly the best of the day with a challenge in actual SEO.

Rob started the session with the motive of having the session. 4 SEOs proving that the stuff they do actually works. The challenge was to take a website not ranking within the first 5 pages and to get it to rank within 3 months. They couldn’t risk any other blackhat tactics.

Speaking in Tongues: Mastering Multinational Search – SMX London 2011

Good afternoon everyone. Here is the last panel I’ll be covering for you folks from SMX London but keep your eyes on the blog for more updates and more posts from the rest of the team.

I decided (in spite of all of the International Search Summit coverage coming your way from State of Search) that I would cover the session on Speaking in Tongues and how to handle multinational search. This is something our team has been working on a lot lately and have been trying to figure out the best way to integrate across our global offices and make use of local market knowledge. Really excited to bring you this topic!

Credit where Credit is due: Demystifying Attribution

This is a write up of the panel session “Credit where Credit is due: Demystifying Attribution” at SMX London 2011.

Chris started this session by discussing the value of the keyword in terms of conversion rate and sales. This is a discussion that often uses the last click wins mentality when calculating ROI values. Attribution is often far more complex than this and this session aimed to clarify many approaches.

The following are the top tips from each presentation:

Keyword Research “Ninja” Tactics – SMX 2011

Good morning again folks. Here with Christine Churchill of Key Relevance, Rich Baxter of SEOgadget,  Lasse Clarke Storgaard of MediaCom Denmark and Kev Gibbons of SEOptimise. Really excited for this panel as it was one that I spoke on last year and I think they may even have been paying homage to the title of my presentation (though I take little pride in the “ninja” term a year later :) ).

Should be really good and hopefully some exciting tips to come out of this one! (more…)
