In a few hours, I’m jumping on a plane and heading out to our SMX West search marketing conference, which hits Silicon Valley from Feb. 26-28. My journey will hopefully be much easier than Mike McDonald’s. To kick off his WebProNews video coverage of the show, he’s got a spoof of being kidnapped for answers. I kept waiting for him to whip out a Jack Bauer-like cell phone and save the day. I got a good chuckle out of it, as did several people talking about it on Sphinn. Check it out below or here.

And from all of us at Search Engine Land, we look forward to seeing many of our readers at the show! Remember, Sunday is the last day to book online and save over at-the-door registration prices.
