All posts in conferences

Kevin and I are speaking at a4uexpo London in October in the session Post Panda: Affiliates’ Guide to Surviving Google (2.30pm day one).

We’re currently working on the presentation and thought it would be a good idea to reach out to our readers in order to ask:  what are your biggest challenges in SEO?

This is going to be largely targeted at affiliates – so looking at challenges such as:  ‘how to add more content?’, ‘how to appear as a brand rather than a thin affiliate site?’ and of course ‘how do you avoid a panda slap?!’

But we also want to hear from you and look to answer your common questions and challenges – so please let us know in the comments below…

Tonight I was delighted to be invited to speak at the London Blog Club and presented about the WordPress plugins which I find most useful.

Here are the slides from my talk:

20 Top WordPress Plugins – 2011 Edition – Kevin Gibbons, London Blog Club

If you have any questions on this please let me know in the comments or on the meetup.com page.

Having just presented on natural link building at a4uexpo Europe in Munich, I thought I’d publish my slides from the event.

Last week at SMX London I presented the results from several experiments I’ve been running over the months on how important Facebook likes are for search.

Another quick post, but here’s my presentation from SAScon 2011 this afternoon. This was on how to use social media for SEO benefit in the travel industry.

How to Build Links Which Look Natural – Kevin Gibbons – 3pm, 8th June 2011

On Tuesday I was at SES London. I was also at SES for a day last year and I thought that this year was much better in terms of the quality of the presentations and speakers. Hats off to the organising team for making these improvements.

The Keynote

The keynote was by Jeff Hayzlett, the former CMO of Kodak. He was an amazing speaker. In fact he was so good that he could have been talking rubbish and I would have sat there amazed. If Jeff had said “what organisations need to do these days is throw money down a big hole”, I would have been thinking “have we got room in the office for a money pit?”.

I think the content was pretty good but, as I’ve said, I was so overawed that I’m not really in a position to judge.

It was great to present at the Sphinncon conference today alongside Kelli Brown, Tal Siach and Miriam Schwab – I’ve posted my slides and tips below to share with everyone online:

Sphinncon – 10 Tips to Improve Your Social Graph for Search

The idea behind this was to provide actionable ideas based upon Matt Cutts’ announcement in December that social signals are a ranking factor. Here are the tips:
