SES Wrap Up

Saw the world famous ShoeMoney as well as the world famous Danny Sullivan. Ran into my good Buddy Will Handsfield and his Search Diva Anne at Search Ad Network. Bumped into Brian Shrader of Jumpstart and his Partner Jackie from Jumpstart. Upon check in ran into Mary O' Brien of the PPC Summit Sessions. Mary is one of the founders of Telic Media and hired me 4 Years ago giving me my start in this industry. I visited with many of my friends at the various Engines including Greyson Menetti over at Looksmart, searched all over for Ryan Argento of Ask.com. I visited some search management tool vendors to see what was new. Introduced myself as a product manager for a new application and we talked the talk. Some were more tight lipped then others, but for the most part very open to hearing what we were doing. I missed out on the Google dance but had a great client Dinner at the Arcadia Restaurant in the Marriot. On a whole at the conference there were many booths that were not up my alley, still seems we have a large group of unsophisticated attendees, but slowly people are catching on to this stuff. I found the sessions to be ok, but nothing jumped out at me. I did like the Images session. A panel member suggested using flicker for SEO purposes - seemed like a great idea. I think I will start to work on my Search engine optimization helpers blog at some point as the SEO stuff is once again becoming interesting to me. Oh the girls... There was some search hotties out there. I did not speak to many of them, but certainly lots of cuties. I think next year I will do girls of SES blog.
