BlueGlass have announced their next conference, BlueGlass TPA 2011, which will take place in Tampa, Florida on September 26th and 27th. From the press release:
BlueGlass TPA will provide its participants with 10 incredible online marketing panels & session along with constant opportunities to connect with leaders, speakers, and others in the industry over breakfasts, lunches, dinners, hosted cocktail hours and team building events.
As the last format seemed to work quite well I’m going to focus on just the top tips today. We’ve got Rich Baxter from SEOgadget, Martijn Beijk of Onetomarket (also a fellow State of Search blogger), Jonathan Hochman of JE Hochman and Associates, and finally John Mueller from Google Webmaster Trends.
Really looking forward to this one, so away we go! (more…)
Good Morning folks! I’ll be starting us out with our first post of our live coverage from SMX Advanced London.
Up first is Chris Sherman talking to us about “The State of Search Marketing” and the big picture as well as changes to the market in general.
Recent Google Updates
-Google instant has come into play since the last conference and he also mentioned that the image search catalogue has increased widely and made reference to some of the opportunities this may create.
-Of course, the notorious Panda/Farmer update (a big shock that has caused a lot of fallout for a lot of people).
-Chris also made mention of the forthcoming Plus 1 buttons and made a joke about the fact that they are basically an identical copy of Facebook Likes. For what it’s worth, I do think these will be on every blog with a Twitter or Facebook share button though I am still somewhat sceptical of the impact they will have on search results as there is so much opportunity for abuse.
- Google makes 300-500 changes per year on an ongoing basis – be more careful than other and not inadvertantly do something that gets caught up here. Radical “Panda” like events are very uncommon, but we see loads of new changes. (more…)
Hi again folks, in an effort to get posts out as quickly as possible I’m going to stick with a “Top Tips” format for this next session. Today we’ve got Max Thomas of Thunder SEO, Mikel deMib Svendsen of deMib and Christine Churchill of Key Relevance.
As an aside may I just interject the fact that Mikel deMib Svendsen is wearing an excellent patterned suit and the cover slide of his presentation deck looks a bit like it was inspired by a GeoCities website, very excited about this one! We’ll definitely link to it once the decks go live.
“A cocktail of business conference (like SES or SMX) and hardcore “underground” SEO event (like SEO Campixx)”, that’s how I would describe the first Austrian SEO conference SEOkomm, which took place last Thursday, the 18th of November. 270 attendees from Austria, Germany and even North-Italy visited the sessions, which were divided in two tracks: a SEO practice track and a business strategy & white hat track.
Marcus “Mediadonis” Tandler started the conference with his “big surprise” session, which turned out to be a session about advanced linkbuilding for affiliates. Marcus’ message: Don’t focus too much on links with keyword anchor texts. Especially on high traffic money keywords (like loans for example) websites, with brand anchor text backlinks dominate the serps! (more…)
