SES Chicago, Day 4 Coverage

Today was the final day of regular events at SES Chicago 2007, and we had some great sessions. A lot of attention was paid to CPC and the nitty-gritty of keyword strategy issues as you'll see below in our roundup of day 4 SES coverage from Chicago, December 6.

SES Chicago, Day 3 Coverage

Welcome back to our day 3 wrap-up of coverage at SES Chicago 2007. Today was a big day for PPC and paid links issues, with strong attention on SEM for retailers and strategies for pitching upper-level management on SEM principles. The coverage is high-quality and has some great analysis, but if you're looking for more information on a session you didn't get to or don't have comprehensive notes on, remember your show booklet has an access code to the presenters' slides, which we'll be posting to the site soon. See you for SES Chicago Day 4 tomorrow!

SES Chicago, Day 2 Coverage

Tuesday's coverage at SES Chicago was even greater than yesterday's. The big stories today were Seth Godin's Meatball Sundae presentation and Local Search; read on for our listing of the full Search Engine Strategies coverage.

Search Engine Strategies Paris; Introducing the SES Forum

The SES Paris event has been moved to January 15th and 16th. We have made this change for a few key reasons.

Primarily, we wanted to house the event in a more central location to make it easier for delegates to attend in an environment that's excellent for networking as well.

The Paris event will represent the first in a series of events created by the SES team that are specifically designed to deliver a learning and networking environment with a limited number of attendees, no expo hall and limited sponsorships. We call this event series the SES Forum.

While the Conference and Expo series will continue in its existing format in London, New York, Toronto, San Jose and Chicago we are very excited to introduce the SES Forum format in response to numerous suggestions by our blogging community, delegates and SES faculty.

Other SES events around the world will follow this format and announcements will be forthcoming. I'd like to thank the SES faculty, bloggers and our delegates for contributing their thoughts and ideas.

We still have a limited number of spots for speaking, so please feel free to drop us a note if you are interested!

La conférence SES Paris a été reportée aux 15 et 16 janvier. Ce report a été effectué pour plusieurs raisons essentielles.

Avant tout, nous voulions être en mesure d?organiser cet évènement au centre de Paris, afin de rassembler nos invités dans un environement favorisant le networking.

La conférence de Paris sera la première d?une série mise au point par l?équipe de SES, et qui visera à fournir un environement favorable à l?enrichissement et au networking, grâce a un nombre limité de participants et de sponsors et l?absence de salon d?exposition. Cette nouvelle série s?appellera SES Forum.

La série Conference et Expo continuera d?exister sous sa forme actuelle a Londres, New York, Toronto, San Jose et Chicago. Nous sommes très heureux de pouvoir proposer le format SES Forum en réponse à de nombreuses suggestions de la part de nos blogueurs, delegués et membres.

D?autres évènements SES dans le monde suivront le format SES Forum et seront annoncés ultérieurement. Je tiens à remercier les membres de SES, nos blogueurs et delegués pour leurs suggestions.

Quelques places de presentateurs sont encore disponibles. N?hésitez pas à nous contacter si cette opportunité vous interesse!

SES Chicago Speaker Updates

The SES Chicago 2007 conference at a glance has been posted.

A big thank you to everyone that contacted us with new sessions for SES Chicago. The responses were a bit overwhelming and we were impressed by the sheer volume of requests.

We have now reviewed every submission and are contacting speakers who submittted. From now until the week of October 14th we will be accepting speaker requests for the current agenda.

In response to numerous SES Faculty and delegate requests, we have refined many of the tactical sessions and added more sessions with a strategic focus.

Don't be shy about stepping up to request a speaker slot. Many speakers have already approached us with new case studies and solid fresh content.

With an incredible line-up of keynotes, the addition of the "Orion" panel concept and full conference registrations ahead of last year's event, we are all very excited about making Chicago '07 a great event!

SES Chicago 2007, Paris and Beyond

Chicago will have SES content and ClickZ tracks alongside content delivered by The Kelsey Group's local expertise.

This year's Paris event promises to be an exciting forum for search thought leaders and movers and shakers. SES will have search marketing focused tracks at A4U in London and ILM Local in Los Angeles.

Of course, there are going to be a few changes around here, the least of which includes some changes to the speaker submission process. In order to accommodate the sheer volume of requests to speak at these events, we have created a speaker submission form and updated the speaker guidelines.

As promised, here are the timelines for speaker/ content proposals for the remainder of 2007:

Chicago: December 3-7, 2007

New content suggestions: August 28th - September 14th

Conference sessions will be posted the week of September 16th

Existing content speaker submissions/ requests: September 16th - October 12th

Final speaker selections will be completed the week of October 14th and no speaker requests for Chicago will be accepted after October 12th. Please note that proposed sessions may be channeled into a panel format in order to give exposure and analysis of a wider variety of speakers and approaches. In fact, your overall chances of acceptance are greater if you are willing to participate on a panel.

Paris: November 27-28, 2007

We have a limited number of speaking opportunities for this event and are accepting proposals now through October 12th.

SES @ A4U: October 25-26, 2007

There are also a limited number of speaker slots open for the SES track at A4U. If you would like to participate in this event, please submit content ideas and speaker requests no later than September 14th.

SES Local @ ILM:07: November 28-30, 2007

We are very excited to partner with The Kelsey Group and have a few slots left to speak in Los Angeles. Please send your requests in no later than October 12th.

In addition to the redesigns of SearchEngineWatch and ClickZ we have been hard at work on the event front... keep on reading for clarification on some of our recent SES announcements...

First of all, we announced today a new SES event on October 25 and 26 in London alongside our friends at affiliates4u and the a4uexpo. The SES team will be programming one track ? about five sessions ? on the second day of this 4-track, 2-day affiliate powerhouse of a show. Please visit the event site for more information. This event is for all those who just can?t wait until our next London event in February 2008. Enjoy ? it will be a great two days!

Speaking of London, please join me in officially welcoming Mike Grehan as the new host of our SES London event. A longtime SES speaker, ClickZ contributing editor and member of the search community, Mike will host our London 2008 event, to be held at the Business Design Center in February. In this capacity Mike will be responsible for programming the sessions alongside Kevin Ryan.

Last, but not at all least, is our SES San Jose event this August 20 ? 23. This show is shaping up quite nicely as Danny and Chris have been very busy building out the agenda. We are featuring 2 keynotes at this event ? Jim Lanzone from Ask.com and Marissa Mayer from Google. In addition Google will be hosting the much-anticipated Google Dance party on Tuesday, August 21, and WebMasterRadio.FM will be hosting the SearchBash on Wednesday evening (details to come) ? both of these should not be missed. Kevin Ryan will also be making an appearance at the event. He has programmed the ClickZ track on Day 1 ? be sure to stop by, as it will serve as a taste of what to expect in Chicago this December (it will be different ? lots of new search content and formats).

That?s it for now; we are off to the SES Travel launch event in Seattle today and then back to our desks to work up a few more surprise announcements in the next couple of weeks. Then it's off once again to Boston for a full day of dedicated SEM training (this is filling up fast by the way). Thank you for sticking it out with us this last year ? it has been an interesting ride. Looking back at it from our current vantage point, I must say, the teams here at ClickZ, SEW and SES have done an amazing job keeping everything together, and we look forward to a bright future ? full of fresh and timely content, as well as strong networking opportunities with many of our old friends and some new faces as well.

SES Toronto & Latino Edition 2007 - wrap ups

SES Toronto and SES Latino Edition 2007 are now both behind us and I wanted to say a quick thank you to all involved. Our hosts, Andrew Goodman and Chris Sherman (SES Toronto) and Nacho Hernandez (SES Latino Edition), sponsors, exhibitors and delegates all came together for two 2-day events on opposite ends of North America and all seemed to go home with a better understanding of the industry, how to use Search to grow their businesses and more? ? thank you, it has been a pleasure to work with you all.

There were quite a few announcements made at both events, I tried to summarize it all for everyone below ? enjoy.

Changing URLs
Hey Jill, I am in the process of changing all my URLs from things like news123.html to OurCompany_Announces_New_CEO.html Are there any problems associated with these wholesale changes, apart from making sure to have a redirect for external links? Please let me know. Thanks, Lorenz ++Jill’s Response++ Hi Lorenz, I would highly recommend *not* changing your URLs at all. It is a common misconception that keywords in [...]

PR Popping
Hi Jill, Thanks for your coverage over what Google has done to remove incentive for link farming. (”Google?s Paid-link Smack in the Face.”) Two weeks ago, my Google PR was still at 0/10. We have a 6-month-old site, for which I’ve been doing many of the “slow growth” SEO tactics as my time allows. This week, I find [...]

Hi Jill, I just want to run something by you… It appears the text Google is now showing [for a particular keyword phrase] is from our DMOZ directory listing.

Site Jacking and the DMCA
Two days ago I was performing a rather dull set of SEO experiments when I noticed something very disturbing. While testing Google’s SERPs against keyword phrases inserted into the Metamend Facebook profile, I found a Chinese SEO company had completely stolen the Metamend source-code, images and all. The Chinese firm, Okwoo.com had slightly altered and translated the site-text into a Chinese language but had left blog postings (many of which I wrote) in the English language they were originally written in. It’s called site jacking and it happens more often than a reasonable person might realize.

A Slippery Slope: Google Owns a Search Engine Optimization Company
What many people failed to realize was that when Google purchased DoubleClick, it now was also the owner of a very large search engine optimization company called Performics, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of DoubleClick.
Current and Future Search Trends: What the Top Internet Search Engines Are Doing
The future of search is unclear - what is clear is that change is rapidly happening for all of the top Internet search engines. Google as always is the frontrunner for many of these search trends, but even little guys like Ask.com are making waves. In this article, I will attempt to cover some of the more interesting search trends that are occurring today with the top Internet search engines - but I am by no means being comprehensive about the subject. Things are changing on a weekly, or sometimes even daily, basis, and future articles will cover additional developments in depth.

Google Changing the Way it Ranks Sites?
For the past six or seven years, one of the most dominant factors in determining page or document placement has been an evaluation of incoming links. Google pioneered the method, known as Pagerank, in its original algorithm and has refined it ever since. The recent flap over Pagerank revaluations might provide SEOs a broader hint at changes happening behind the scenes at Google and other major search engines. While unintended, Google might be signaling a step away from Pagerank as a primary means of recommendation and valuation.
Google's Paid-link Smack in the Face
The SEO world is abuzz today with Google's smack in the face to a number of websites that are selling obviously paid-for, keyword-rich text links.

Basic SEO Venues – The Google network, Tying it together
Imagine yourself as an SEO servicing a fairly large client or business. The client has tens of thousands of unique URLs in their domain(s) and more content than you can reasonably shake a magic wand at. To make matters more complicated, they are getting creamed by their competition under their most important keyword phrases on Google. They want you to turn their situation around and it has to be done within their concept of a reasonable time period.

Search Marketing Industry Shake-up Imminent
As sure as the sun shines behind the clouds on a rainy day, a major shake-up in the search marketing industry is coming soon. The signals are being sent and received through-out the various sectors of search and online marketing. Change in any marketplace, when it does come, is often swift, brutal and merciless. For some SEO practitioners, this one will be especially so. While the search marketing industry has been bracing for change for at least a year, the movement is now picking up speed and gathering momentum. As SEOs, our working-world is going to look very different this time next year.

Personalized Search - All's Well or Orwell?
You go to Google and enter your search term. Big Brother, the totalitarian character from George Orwell's novel 1984, watches with detached interest. You see, to Big Brother, you are only a number - but he'd like to know as much about you as he can. Knowing you allows Big Brother to do many things - both good and evil.
So Google Has Feedburner, What Now?
Feedburner is a central hub of hundreds of thousands of blog and podcast feeds owned by corporations, small businesses and individuals alike that can use its software to publicize their feeds, monitor subscriptions and user interaction, and to monetize their feeds. So How Might Owning Feedburner Help Google?
Google Goes Ctrl - Alt - Delete
Three major events took place on, at, or around Google last week any one of which could radically change the company and its relationships with its users, advertisers, and ad delivery partners. Two of the events will have long lasting effects Google’s look and operation while the other has a direct effect on the public’s perception of Google as a trustworthy company.

Good and Bad Clients: an SEO's Point of View
This article is addressed mostly to people who consider hiring an SEO. If you understand from the start what an SEO expects from a client, you'll probably find it easier to achieve understanding. In our profession, the client's understanding is often a key to success.

Changing Trends in Maintenance of Search Engine Optimization Campaigns & Off-...
It is no secret that Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the most powerful, cost-effective, and results-yielding website promotion tool, but if your optimization service provider or the webmaster is cutting off the online campaign at SEO set-up only, then it is not meeting the campaign objective fully. SEO has to be followed with well planned on-going maintenance and off-page optimization strategies to continue to improve and/ or retain the top rankings. You could agree with the fact that competition webpages for your every target keyword/ key-phrase has increased multiple folds now. A well planned on-going SEO maintenance and off-page optimization strategies will guarantee that you continue to reap the benefits of top rankings and thus get guaranteed qualified traffic and leads for a long time.
Hand Visitors the Keys to Your Web Site
Recently visited a web site that was redesigned. It looked professional and attractive. It was ready for visitors, but perhaps not me. My goal was to find out where the products were and secondly, how to order them. However, the first big whammo! object on the page was a video of a person talking about a product.
The Dark Art Of Search Engine Optimization
The title of this article is designed to illustrate the point of this article. Today we won’t be taking a look at black-hat search engine optimization tactics. Admittedly, I’ve toyed with them in a “know your enemy” kind of way but I’m no expert on advanced cloaking techniques nor effective link sp@mming tactics. What we’re going to cover here are the hidden (i.e. dark) areas of effective optimization strategy.
Reciprocal Links Are (Still) Not Dead

Reciprocal links are not dead. Weren't dead before. Aren't dead now. I know it and you know it. But for just a second let's pretend otherwise.

How to Optimize for Ask
Ask has some incredible and unique features that I believe will slowly but surely steal search share from its more popular brethren. Consequently, it seems appropriate to provide some tips on how to optimize for Ask without sacrificing rankings on the other search engines.

The Best Damn On-Page Optimization Process Checklist, Period
I like to create systems for everything that I do and SEO is no exception. While not every aspect of search engine marketing can be programmed, categorized or easily referenced, the bulk of the work can at least be outlined into a handy check list.
How to Optimize for MSN!
Last week I discussed the best tactics for achieving rankings in Yahoo, the web’s number 2 most popular search engine. Now it is time to pick on the third most used search property – MSN, which has 6.6% of the search market (src: Hitwise) and is currently found at www.live.com. MSN’s ranking algorithm has its own nuances which will be noted in this article but in many cases the rules of optimization may be the same as Yahoo’s in which case I will occasionally duplicate information from my “How to Optimize for Yahoo” article or source it for more information.
