The Big SMX Social Media NY ’07 Roundup
The first SMX Social Media conference is now wrapping up. The only session left is a clinic, which normally is not covered. Below is a list of all the coverage, stories, blogs, and so on that I have found that discussed the conference and/or covered sessions. The list is in no specific order:
Live Blogging: SMX Social Media – Micro Communities
While lunching with Danny, Vanessa, and gang (and discussing kosher vampires [Michael Gray: “Do kosher vampires only eat Jewish people?”]) at SMX Social Media, I was asked to live blog the Micro Communities session this afternoon. My first Search Engine Land post will thus consist of me recapping my boss’s presentation. Hooray. Anyway, the Micro […]
Live Blogging: SMX Social Media – Social Media Marketing Essentials
I’m live blogging Search Marketing Expo Social Media. I see that Kim Krause Berg is also live blogging this session for Search Engine Roundtable, so now I feel all this competition with her. (Eric Lander at Search Engine Journal also live blogged it, as did aimClear Blog, so the competition is really heating up now.) […]
New York Times’ Marshall Simmonds: Poster Child Of SEO Success
Marshall Simmonds of the New York Times is, to me, the SEO of the hour right now. For an industry often mischaracterized as doing nothing but blog spamming, Marshall’s work as chief search strategist to institutionalize SEO as part of the regular editorial production at the New York Times lead directly to last week’s news […]

The Great Google Directory Ban Of Sept. 2007
Earlier this month, a discussion on our Sphinn site looked at how it seemed Google was going after directories with penalties.

The Promise & Reality Of Mixing The Social Graph With Search Engines
I’m having a bad day. Aside from my desktop crashing, we get another spate of “let’s blame SEO” to start my morning off. Robert Scoble uses that theme as a launching pad for a series of videos on how Facebook potentially could be a killer search engine — regardless of the fact he seems to […]

Wikipedia Asks For Help Editing The SEO Article

From My Inbox: More Defense Of SEO
I spent about a half-hour today defending SEO privately in an email to someone questioning it. Upon reflection, I thought those responses should go into a public post. After all, the discussion involved Stephen Colbert, the great Jason Calacanis mystery project that will kill SEO as well as those scumbag SEOs themselves. So I’ll end […]

Some SEOs Suggest To Verify But Not Submit A Google Sitemap
Google Webmaster Central is an awesome product and I personally love it. It offers ways for SEOs and Webmasters to learn more about how Google is treating their site. It also offers ways for Webmasters to notify Google of content by submitting a Google Sitemap to them. But some SEOs suggest that you should not […]
