    • London SES Feedback on Link Building Methods and Risks

    • February 23, 2010 - Posted by Jim Boykin to Link Building, SEM Events
    • 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 an “introduction” to a topic…when often, what...

    • London SES: Link Building – Methods and Risks with Jim Boykin – Feb

    • January 7, 2010 - Posted by Jim Boykin to SEM Events
    • 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. I noticed that at SES London (feb 16-19) and SES NYC (march 22-26) that there were few organic panels…and no link building...

    • 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 year the search conference that rocked my...

    • Why Liveblogging is Not Useless or Evil

    • November 14, 2008 - Posted by QualityGal to PubCon 2008
    • 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 sent a gazillion people to...
