We’ve come almost to the end, my friends. With just one site review session after this, you are looking at the last liveblog to come out of BlueGlass LA. Speakers Jessica Bowman, Founder, SEOinhouse.com, Marshall Simmonds, Chief Search Strategist, New York Times Company/About.com, Co-Founder and CEO, Define Search Strategies, and Laura Lippay, Director of Technical Marketing, Yahoo! Media are bringing it on home.
Hey there! It’s after lunch on day 2 of BlueGlass LA. Mysteriously, all the people who were missing this morning have finally shown up. Was it because they heard who the speakers were? I’ll bet. You’d shake off your hangover too for Rand Fishkin, CEO and CO-Founder, SEOmoz and Dave Snyder, Partner, Search & Social (we hear they’re called BlueGlass now but I guess the conference website hasn’t caught up. Whoever the parent company is should really get on that.)
This session is sponsored by Adobe / Omniture. And the number 7 and the letter Q. You can use their data to optimize campaigns. This is a PPC pitch. Would have been more effective in the other room. Hey Adobe, you want better coverage from me, you gotta sponsor me. Kidding. Sort of.
Nom nom, lunch time. I got more popcorn from the Yahoo booth. Don’t judge me. You don’t know me. Anyway, in the interests of saving my hands, I’ll keep this short. Here’s the line up.
Vanessa Fox says it’s going to be an awesome session. So there you go. She’s also going to accept questions by Tweets to her personal account. And if you just want to ask a question without technology, we’ll mock you, but we’ll take your question.
It begins, my second day as a guest live blogger… Sitting next to @RickDeJarnette, Microsoft Bing Webmaster Center blogger and @ScottClark. Scott mentioned he wanted to be in a “daily practical session.” Ready…
After sampling a delicious teeny Bing cupcake, I’m here in the second session of the day and guess what? I still have my own personal Matt McGee! It’s awesomes. You know what else is awesomes?
Day two and I’m sitting next to Matt McGee getting ready to liveblog this keynote Q&A. It’s going to be a jam-packed day today and we’re off to a good start. On my other side is a Real Live Journalist from the Wall Street Journal. It’s all official and professional and old media and stuff.
Yahoo is making popcorn at their booth. You have NO idea how tempted I am to forget this liveblogging sessions and go liveblog a bag of popcorn instead. Popcorn is totally my downfall. But because I love you guys, I’m going to be strong.
OK so here I am, at SMX Advanced, in Seattle. I wasn’t expecting to be liveblogging, yet that’s exactly what I’m doing for this first morning session. Warning – I have never liveblogged at a conference before. In fact, I expect I’ll fail miserably at this. So we’ll pretend it’s the effort that counts, not the results, okay boys and girls?
