...and John Cook from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Tricia Duryee from the Seattle Times, Fred Vogelstein from Wired Magazine, and Becky Buckman from the Wall Street Journal. Quite the title and intro, huh? Let me...
And now, a little roundup of stories from the past few days that have either been brought to my attention or that I came across and thought were interesting: Agustín Vazquez-Levi (whose Canalytics team recently became the 12th company in North America [and the first company in Canada] to be accepted as one of Google's Goog...
There's so much happening in the world of search, it's hard to stay abreast of even half of it. However, it's my responsibility to keep those of you who aren't taking the time to read SEL in the know. Threadwatc...
Hey, remember SMX Advanced in Seattle? Think back to a couple weeks ago. Danny Sullivan threw a conference in the Emerald City, some SEOs attended, it was a huge success...any of this ringing a bell to you? Well, if two certain slacker SEOs didn't have 8,000 simultaneous tasks to work on and actually published this article right after the conference ended, you'd be more excited about reading it. O...

After SMX, training Frenchies, SES Toronto, and getting sick, I'm back in the office attempting to tackle a mountain of tasks (I've never empathized with Rand more than I do right now). Jane and I will soon publish the so-late-it's-just-ridiculous coverage of SM, but for now I want to talk about SES Toronto and the Canadian Search Landscape session. This session was pretty rife with...
It all began with a judgmental cabbie and a striptease. To be fair, I'm not really from Kansas like I told that cabbie. [I was born there, I live and work about 3 minutes from the state line, but really, it was just easier to tell people I was from Kansas because most people don't know that most of Kansas City is in Missouri. Plus, I was trying to emphasize the flatness--Kansas is way...
Danny Sullivan's long-awaited and much anticipated Search Marketing Expo conference kicks off next week with SMX Advanced in Seattle. Matt, Scott, Jeff, and Gillian all have Expo Passes, while Jane and I will be covering the conference for our blog and Rand will be speaking on the "SEO, Meet SMM" panel w...
Search Engine Strategies China was held in the beautiful resort town of Xiamen on May 24 - 25. KEYNOTEYvonne Chang, China Yahoo and Alibaba Vice President, was interviewed by Chris Sherman and Inway Ni for the Keynote address. Mr. Ni asked Ms. Chang to search for her name on Yahoo and she noted his blog was ranked...
As promised, I'm putting up my presentations from SES Xiamen 2007. There's so much to share about China that it's nearly impossible to put it into a blog post and thus, when I return home, I'll be writing a full article on SEOmoz about my experiences, the Chinese search market and what I ate (abalone, shark fin soup, camel, turtle, duck tongue, scorpions, starfish, jellyfish and many more)....
And now, to finish off your Thursday, here's a roundup of various news tidbits that I found interesting: Scoreboard Media Group has an encouraging post called "If At First You Don't Succeed, Quit!" Though it's rife with baseball metaphors, Brian Provost makes a fantastic point--that some...
Time to wham bam you all with a little roundup post of odds, ends, and miscellaneous news. First off, Jane and I are "guestwhoring" next Wednesday (5/9/07) on Sugarrae's blog while she's getting drunk and lifting up men's kilts in Scotland. At this point, I don't think either one of ...
This morning I spent a half hour interviewing Danny Sullivan about the upcoming Search Marketing Expo in Seattle on June 4 and 5. We hashed through quite a bit of material and I learned a great deal about what the goals of the conference will be, who the target audience is and why there are so many changes from his successful SES conf...
There's so much to cover in the search world this week it's practically unbearable. Hopefully the weather is terrible and you're bored so this won't interfere too much with those pesky weekend plans. I'm personally going hiking Sunday - my first time this year (hooray!). On to the topics: ...
It's just so much fun to get up at 4:30am in order to get to the airport, and it's even better when an oversized limousine backs into your brand new Jeep outside Departures. What a wonderful start to my first SES conference! Luckily, no one was in our car when the dip-stick driver threw his massive car into reverse and busted up our bumper, so our insurance won't suffer. ...
