SES New York 2009 – Feedback
Overall, I felt a bit disappointed at this year’s event. The sessions on Day 1 and 2 appeared to have little for the SEO attendees and much was a bit too basic.

What Does Google Know?

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…

We Control The Internet! Maybe? A Note From SES San Jose 2008
Do we control the internet?
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.
So what do I mean by this?
