I thought it would be useful to explain where I’m going to be speaking at this year, plus where I won’t be, because there seems to be some confusion out there. In particular, a number of people assumed I would be part of the recent SES London show. I wasn’t. Last October, I’d explained I’m [...]
My boys love gingerbread men, usually from Reeves, so I was thrilled that Google was handing their own out to people leaving the Google party during last week’s SES Chicago show. By the time I got back to the hotel, all the ones in my coat pocket had been smashed to bits. But Elisabeth saved [...]
A bunch of people started reading Daggle to keep up with what I’m doing in my post-Search Engine Watch life. I mentioned my Search Engine Land site already but realize I forgot to post about Search Marketing Expo and Search Marketing Now. Search Marketing Expo will be a conference series of my own, with the [...]
One of the remarkable things about SES Chicago was the number of search engine reps that lost their "conference virginity," as some of us were joking. Several of the eight Googlers I mentioned in my 8 Googler Alternatives To Superstar Matt Cutts post at Search Engine Land were brand new to speaking at the show. [...]
Barry Smith over at SkyScanner emailed me after seeing a funny ad (shown above) in AdSense on my Daily SearchCast site. It was for Google, on sale at eBay UK. I know, it’s not new to see eBay with ads for everything under the sun for sale. But it’s still funny — Google on auction. [...]
One last one for the night. I need a formula to figure out someone’s Google name. You know, like how to know your porn name, you take the street you lived on and your pet (Jeremy is Kitty Kneer; I’m Lady Apache — that formula works). What could you use to figure out someone’s name [...]
Matt Cutts may have missed the Yahoo Publisher Network party in the Hugh Hefner Playboy Sky Villa at the Palms hotel, but he was one of the few. I got up there late last Tuesday to find it packed with those enjoying some down time after Pubcon. And while it was a very, very close [...]
In News On My Plans For Next Year, I said that I would be starting a new search blog. I now have more news on that to pass along, it will be called Search Engine Land, located at searchengineland.com. I plan to continue writing about search with original content as well as commenting about the search news of the day. Joining [...]
I had an unusual event yesterday at the Search Engine Watch Blog. One of our stories hit Digg at the same time another story became wildly popular through Google News. One case study does not a rule make. I repeat again, one example is not the rule. But in this case, Google News produced traffic [...]
I’m currently on vacation, which is a bad time to announce some of my plans for 2007. But I reached an agreement with Incisive on Search Engine Strategies literally minutes before leaving, which I can now talk about. In short, I’ll be chairing the SES NY 2007 show, co-chairing the SES SJ 2007 event and [...]
