As you might have noticed, State of Search is a media partner for SMX East. We are doing several interviews with speakers. We talked to Danny Sullivan, Julie Joyce, Debra Mastaler and Rob Kerry.
Today we have a veteran in the industry: Christine Churchill. Christine Churchill is the President of KeyRelevance, a full service search engine marketing company offering search engine optimization, strategic link building, and pay per click management. (more…)
This weekend in Leeds the event “Thinkvisibility” took place. For the UK Search World this is one of the most famous conferences. World wide however it is one of the smaller players. This coming weekend in Brighton there is another similar conference taking place, organized by our very own Kelvin Newman: Brighton SEO.
Thinkvisibility and Brighton SEO are two conferences who have been around for quite a while. Thinkvisibility was already organized for the sixth time. But “Thinkvis” and “Brighton” are not the only ‘small’ conferences being organized at the moment. More and more we are seeing these intimate gatherings of SEOs, search marketers and those starting to learn the profession pop up. At the breakfast table the day after the conference other possibilities for similar events in other regions of the UK were already discussed. It seems like a trend. But it is a good trend, because the smaller conferences are the talent pools where the new search speakers are coming from. (more…)
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…)
Yesterday at SMX Advanced London 2011 I presented at the What Really Matters in Technical SEO session alongside Richard Baxter, Jonathan Hochman and John Mueller. My presentation has been made available for State of Search readers, so continue to read along Samuel Crockers post and watch the presentation!
In 1,5 weeks time yet again a new conference season starts with SMX London 2011. This Advanced SMX, the only advanced in Europe, has a very interesting line up of speakers, amongst which some State of Search bloggers and for example Bing’s Cedric Chambaz, Christine Churchill, Yahoo’s Jon Myers and Stephen Pavlovich.
The keynote will be given by Chris Sherman, who as you might know also runs SMX together with Danny Sullivan. We talked to Chris Sherman about SMX London 2011, his keynote and the future of search. (more…)
In the future months Search Marketing Expo (SMX) will again be coming to Europe. First Munich in April than SMX London in May. The London Agenda has now been released on the SMX London website.
This years opening keynote will be done by SMX “father” Chris Sherman, who is also editor of Searchengineland. He will be talking about “The State Of Search Marketing”. We will off course be asking him about that 
. The Agenda is divided over two days with sessions in four different tracks, two for each day: Advanced SEO and Advanced Paid Search on day 1 and Issues & Tactics and Vertical SEM on day 2. (more…)
A very special show this time around. Our guest Richard Baxter from SEO Gadget joined us to discuss amongst other things SMX Advanced London 2010. And Richard really did his homework. He asked several speakers at SMX to give their take away for the show. You can find the different take aways below.
Next to SMX London we also discussed
The shownotes are below, all the links can also be found in the special delicious feed.

You’ll already know from my run down of day one of SMX Advanced London there was a heap of great presentations and session. Day two was a bit of a belter as well.
Already every man and his dog has published their live blog or notes but to sum up my time there I wanted to highlight and share five of the most informative and interesting slidedecks from the conference.
A good slide show is a work of art and can really get across the point so much better than a quick transcription of their words.
So without further ado here, in no particular order are my five favourites. (more…)
Overall this was one of the best panels at this year’s SMX London covering an area that is very often overlooked, Search Engine Reputation Management.
Some of the sessions’ takeaways can be found below.
It was a busy day yesterday at SMX in London, unlike previous years this was the under the ‘Advanced” brand which made a huge difference, there was less of the SEO 101 content we all know so well and more actionable suggestions and plenty of coverage of topics that we’re new to me.
But what if you weren’t there, or where overwhelmed by by the sheer volume of live tweets?
Well Jaamit has done some great live blogging, which has some great run downs, but I’ve tried to make it even quicker with my nine takeaways from the first day. (more…)
It’s one of those weeks again. If you are in Search Marketing or working with or as an affiliate and you are looking to learn how to improve your business there is plenty of opportunity in Europe to get more information. That is, if the Icelandic ash cloud doesn’t stop you.
In London SMX is starting their advanced sessions for the first time in Europe. The successful format has been running in the US (Seattle) for a while but SMX has decided it was time for Europe to get its own SMX advanced. Meanwhile on the other side of the North Sea affiliates and search marketers are (trying to) gathering in Munich where A4U Expo opens its affiliate doors for the first time. State of Search will try to give you updates on both events, so stay tuned!
We have special pages set up for both SMX London and
Search Marketing Expo London starts in two weeks at the Grand Connaught Rooms in Covent Garden. For the first time since SMX came to Europe the show is all advanced, in the same format SMX has been using in Seattle, USA.
The show hosts regular names like Mikkel deMib Svendsen, Rand Fishkin, Rob Kerry, our very own Kelvin Newman, Andy Atkins-Krueger, Christine Churchill and has a surprising speaker: ex-SES host Kevin Ryan.
The keynote of the conference will be done by Wolfram Alpha Managing Director Barak Berkowitz.
Organizer Danny Sullivan is enthusiastic about the new set up:
“SMX Advanced’s unique format has been very successful in Seattle. Adding London is ideal, given its sophisticated search marketing community. Topics at Advanced are discussed at a very high level, so there’s no slowing down to bring beginners up to speed. This format isn’t for everyone, and we have other conferences that address the needs of beginners, but experienced search marketers have embraced Advanced enthusiastically,”
SMX Advanced London will take place on 17/18th May 2010 at The Grand Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden. SMX Advanced is the only search marketing conference designed exclusively for experienced internet marketers. Sessions are fast-paced, Q&A-packed, frequently controversial, always informative and don’t stop to cover the basics.
