Well now that I have almost caught up with the work I missed from being at the 2009 Online Marketing Summit, I have to say, what a fun time! If you missed my presentation on Long Tail Keyword Optimization, Kate Fleming did a wonderful job of summarizing the main points of the presentation. Additionally there were a lot of other great presentors and presentations which made this conference the best one ever in my estimation. Thanks again to Aaron Kahlow and his whole staff of tireless workers for making it such a success. And who can forget the free Jamba Juice!
For my personally, the opportunity to perform and sing in my acoustic project for the first time ever in front of the 100+ people at the Thursday evening cocktail hour was (more…)

Wow time sure does fly. Seems like only yesterday I was doing my SEO for 2008 presentation at OMS 2008 here in San Diego and now it’s already 2009! I am really looking forward to seeing everyone again this year and getting another opportunity to talk SEO with so many other industry professionals. And, what’s really exciting for me is that this year, Rand Fishkin will be (more…)

So I am finally caught up enough after being gone a week for OMS that I can blog again..lol. What a crazy week and a half its been. First I went to Houston for the first time where I met some incredible people who were very hospitable. I spoke about the SEO benefits of the social media broadcast system. I defined the social media broadcast system as:
“Your social media broadcast system is the collection of technologies that are used to broadcast your message to your friends and their friends.”
So this collection of technologies includes your blog, social networking sites like (more…)

Here are a couple more videos of my presentation from OMS. I went a little out of order on these because of a couple reasons. I omitted the Flash video because it is now outdated based on recent developments. However, all I really did is reference Benj’s excellent post about SEO for Flash. He should be updating it soon based on the new Abode announcement (*hint hint Benj!). The other video I omitted is about Page Titles. As many people know, I am a proponent of Page Titles that are longer than 64 characters. However, we are in the process of doing some new testing with regard to Page Titles and I would rather save that video for my upcoming blog post on the subject.
Here is the first video and the last of the site wide videos (since I won’t be using the Flash video). This video addresses duplicate content issues in search engine optimization: (more…)

** Just posted the next two SEO videos from this presentation on Wed, July 9th, 2008..
With the Online Marketing Summit’s regional tour on the horizon, I thought it would be a good time to give everyone a taste of the kind of material that is presented at OMS. So I contacted the always helpful OMS marketing team and got their permission to release some video footage of my presentation here in San Diego last February. The presentation was entitled “SEO: Unveiling the Black Box – Everything You Want to Know that an SEO Wont Tell You”. Now before all you fellow SEO’s think I’ve been sniffin a little too much glue on the side, I didn’t come up with the title. *lol* So I will give you a more accurate title of the presentation: “Good SEO Practices for an Ongoing SEO Campaign”. In other words, this presentation centers around the kinds of activities you want to be doing once the initial optimization of the site has been completed.
The first two videos I am releasing for this presentation are focused on how to effectively use Google Webmaster Tools to augment an existing SEO campaign. (more…)

Well now that things have finally settled down a little here in San Diego because OMS is over, I am getting an opportunity to put my thoughts together about this amazing conference. And when I say amazing, I am not referring to the number of excellent speakers and the vast amount of online marketing information that was presented (although to be sure there was an abundance of both). I am referring to the number of incredible people I had an opportunity to speak with who are involved with all kinds of fascinating projects and Web sites. And it was a lot of fun to encounter so many of them who were so interested in SEO. And the OMS team did a great job of making sure (more…)

Being sick is the worst. I’ll leave it that…lol. Having a sick Web site (a Web site without valid HTML code) is not such a good thing either. However, it probably isn’t affecting your search rankings. In this post, Google Super Spam Fighter Matt Cutts confirms what many of us have believed for a long time, that Google doesn’t penalize sites for invalid code. However, that isn’t an excuse not to write valid code, lol. It just means it doesn’t have that much potential to affect your search listings. (more…)
