The SES in 2005 was the first US search engine conference I’ve been to and now four years later I’m back, still knowing that I will learn and profit from sessions which cover 80% of the stuff I already know.

Main reason for that is because of the people I meet here and will meet again, not solely the sessions.
Just yesterday I met Brent Csutoras when shopping for some food and Monte Baumgartner of Promopeddler past midnight to recap our business strategies and exchange ideas til 3.30

I showed off our cool link building backend and some sample links to Monte and I think he was pretty impressed with what we do and how we do it. We really do have a pretty cool toolset that we built, that does automate so much manual admin work around researching and building/hunting links or even developing Personas for SEO on the web. And research for common backlinks or forward links is only a smart part of that. The interesting part is how I queue those link targets for lnk builders, keep track of their reseach and the actually built links – and their stats. And report those to the client – up to date to the minute.

Today I’ll meet SEO stars like Jim Boykin Eky and Danny Adam Sussman and Brian of BOTW Greg Boser or Pascal Fantou and Marcus Tandler and many others like Lauren Vacarello, Frank Watson, Todd Malicoat (who I didn’t happen to find pictures of now) at the

I know for sure on this years Google Dance I will get some more great insights and clues from Google people “not” answering very specific questions and a lot of personal chats

See you at the SES

Altough Danny Sullyivan started his own thing with SMX after departing from SES, he’ll give a keynote at the SES here this year! That’s cool!

I bet when coming home I’ll have the next information overload … and I won’t have much time to diget that, as I’ll just be in the office for over a week before we drive for a leisure trip to Crotia for a Regatta training…
