Well,
For those who missed RainMaker, I thought I'd put in writing some general undertones to what we experienced last week in Chicago for Search Engine Strategies.
Attendance had been at normal levels for this JupiterMedia event until Google turned the Search world on its ear!
The Florida Update created a last minute rush of sign-ups for the extremely expensive Search Engine Strategies Seminar in Chicago.
Reason: To find out what the hell is going on?
Marshall Simmonds said it best in refering to a Danny Sullivan interview we aired asking Danny to prognosticate what he felt we'd be seeing as the big stories of SES in Chicago...and it wasn't the response Danny thought based on that interview.
The thoughts of consolidation are in every SEM's mind right now, but last week...everyone was kinda standing around shrugging or verbally bashing the impact from this major shake up.
What seemed to be a common denominator was GET SPIDER FRIENDLY and build your
link popularity!
That's why we have felt great about our new Link Building program at a time like this!
Webguerilla himself, said aggressive SEO is paying off...and mom and pop is standing wondering..."did we over optimize?"
Times are strange in this space.
Last week proved that to us. It also says, that when I'm on the phone with a
Backlinks.SEGuru.Net customer...and by making himself crawler friendly, deploying a link service like ours...he's seeing new Search traffic from sources he hasn;t seen before.
From one of these new sources...he's seen a sustained 3% increase in daily traffic. Search Traffic.
I'm working with him to ensure he is as crawler friendly as possible and from what Marshall Simmonds said tonite...what some of the worlds best SEO's last week said the same...
MSN is coming, Yahoo! to change soon...via INK, and Google remains...
Spiderfriendly and link laden...getcha some.
