SES NY Virgin?! The TOP 10 Things I Have Learned About SES.
I was talking to a friend this week and he mentioned that he had been talking to someone about being an SES newbie, or virgin so to speak.

So, since SES NY is just around the corner, I thought I would do so today. Mind you this is all just my opinion, but it is what I have learned about SES conferences over the past three years.

What I am saying is, with good on-site optimization, you can make it to the top ten without a single link and a PR of 0 and then you can follow that up with good white hat SEO and SEM and get there without all the fuss of chasing the link and the algo.
Now I know the first people to slam me will be those who say, “have you tried to rank for the PPC…

What Does Google Know?
I just returned from PubCon – ok so I live in Vegas and returning just means driving home, but when I got back to my computer and started reading posts from the conference I started to see many comments on personalization and the future of search and that got me thinking about the subject from a personal level.
While personalized search sounds all warm and gooey, I currently deactivate all forms of obviously tracked search (note the key term there is obvious). Yet despite my attempts…

Google SEO guru Matt Cutts said something interesting yesterday, but so far it seems pretty quiet on the blog front, so maybe it went unnoticed or maybe no one cares. However, for me …

Hmm…Ok again, pretty daring statement – I know. But before you flame me, or whatever the proper term is these days*, I believe the question is valid.
