There is nothing a ninja loves more than a party, unless of course it’s a charity party! So that’s exactly what we’re doing at PubCon Vegas this year. As part of our ritual conference prep for any trip we pay close attention to all the night time parties networking events. During our research we saw that the agenda for PubCon 2012 was a little light and distinctly missing some party…

Jim will be speaking at SES San Francisco, and will be at these parties too.
Last week I spoke in London at the Search Engine Strategies (SES) Conference about “Link Building – Methods and Risks”. I was lucky in that I had a 1 hours time slot all to myself, rather than the usual 10-15 minutes that one normally gets when you’re on a panel with others. I’ve often felt that at conferences where a speaker only gets 10-15 minutes, that you tend to get…
It’s funny…I’ve been looking at a lot of internet marketing conferences for 2010….and it’s amazing the percentage of Social Media panels compared to “Organic search engine rankings” panels… it seems like 85% of all panels are “social media” related, 14 percent are ppc, analytics, usability, other marketing topics”, and 2% are “organic rankings” topics.

You need to be at SMX West this year. Listen, I have one of the most awesome jobs on the planet. My day-to-day job activities actually include blogging about whatever’s on my mind, strategizing with the brains of We Build Pages and then traveling to conferences once my brain needs a bit of a vacation and I want to see my friends. It doesn’t suck to be me. And last…
In case you missed it, there’s quite a brou-ha-ha on Sphinn concerning John Coronella’s condemnation of liveblogging. The post has been Sphunn and Desphunn. The comments are where the real meat of the conversation is. And far be it for me not to add my two cents to the conversation. Liveblogging helps people like me, who can’t attend conferences because 1) other work and family obligations, 2) company has already…
