We talked to a whole lot of people today at SES. Guests include Dave Davies, Curtis Dueck, Michael Gray, Mike McDonald and some guy named Matt.
NeO here adding some content to this post… We mentioned the YouTube video and the Michael Gray “Are Paid Links Evil?” power point… so here ya go!
In this episode we talk about the weighting of different factors with Todd Freisen. We get some general ideas of what’s important and what isn’t, then move on to some talk about the Google toolbar and an upcoming reality show.
Rand Fishkin from SEOmoz joins us to discuss social media best practices, linkbait, the linkerati, and the incredible team at SEOmoz.
We also discussed the Beginner’s Guide to SEO which is still a very valuable resource for any Noobie out there!
Ken and Damian from Epiar join us to discuss keyword research in-depth and a bit more advanced view of linkbuilding.
That’s a quick video where I interviewed Ken about the Epiar party bus and you can see Brian in the background impersonating Bob from Enzyte!
I also promised to upload the pics from our trip to the Friar’s club (Which was amazing!) It was really sad we went, had an amazing time and not a SINGLE one of us thought to bring a camera! So these are off of Johnny’s phone.

Lee Odden is back and talking about nofollow link, linkbuilding practices, and paid links. And, there’s still more with him coming next week.
Ever wanted to know how to get links without trying so hard? I know I have. Links take a long time to attain, unless you take shortcuts or follow the advice given out today by Robert Mineo. Writing content can be an excellent strategy for obtaining quality links, and we’ve got several good tips in this one.
Google has the link: operator for showing links to your site, but they never show them all. We explain why, and what you can do to see a larger picture of your inbound links.

Also, I switched up the music again so I’m looking for feedback on the format. Does the music add, or does it detract? I’ve got my opinions, but you’re the listener.
Paid links – good or bad? We’ll talk about that, as well as talk about some alternative linkbuilding techniques along with Jaan Kanellis from KBK Marketing.
Inbound links. We talked about content being king, and now we’re discussing linking being the queen – or perhaps the dictator in charge. Either way, they’re important to your SEO campaign.
