sitting with @seowoman listening to really cool freakin who music
looks like they expect some thirsty people up on stage there
@dannysullivan thanking microsoft "we got you a gift: yahoo- they're out back waiting for you"
@graywolf Venkman, Venkman, you crossed the streams!
Kevin Johnson: online advertising industry will be best where number of companies offering ads is n, where n is greater than one
After monopolizing the desktop app space for decades, microsoft is anti-Google-monopoly
Kevin Johnson: innovate online advertising by emphasizing connection of buyers with sellers- (Google's emph on CTR over CR is a weakness?)
Yikes how would I know how Microsoft's search has improved when I never use it? Is improving their service alone enuf? What about mindshare
Cashback and Live community- trying to get customers to use their MSN search- I'll tell you what my biggest problem with this is...
Google has been so superior for so long, I assume results are quality- how do I know MSN search results quality is better? How do I compare?
KJohson: G brand is strong- G=search; diff in product experience, get srch exp in front of consumer- strengthen brand perception, market it
Comp advantage? Engineering resources, long term persp, innovation, commercial intent- latter is biggest for them- 80% of rev from srch
Chink in G armor? legacy experience- can't change user exp? Microsoft can do anything, essentially they have nothing to lose ;-)
@dannysullivan asks why not change from msn to microsoft?
@chiropractic sitting at #smx - say hi when you get in!
I'll say this, takes guts to be KJ right now answering tough questions about M$ in search.
Whatever happened to Bill Gates' one day of the week of brainstorming? Where are the new ideas?
I think "commercial intent" space is not a bad idea- if M$ allies w/ buyers and sellers, G is weak there- they make $ from clicks not sales
Of course KJ thinks IE is better than FF, but why? How?
I really hope someone at m$ is monitoring twitter right now. This would be a great way for m$ to flush out opinions and ideas
4 core: desktop, enterprise, consumer electronics, online
those were M$'s 4 core businesses
We're a tough bunch. KJ has guts. M$ may not be great online, but KJ would probably be cool to hang out with at a bbq
srch marketers said to m$ make tools easier to use, shorten new kw/ad approval cycles, and get more inventory (srch vol)
more in audience thought Google was "the man" than microsoft!
Hey m$ how bout tv commercials??? need more mindshare, geez
@dannysullivan making fun of cashback
Super suggestions: easier adwords>adcenter converting tool?
Everybody wants backwards IE compatibility
Walking expo hall
Feeling very advanced ;-)
Starting SEM business track @smx
In addition to Ken Jurina's incredible bio, he also sports a soul patch and knows how to use product ;-)
Waiting for Ken to say "eh?"
Ken Jurina: analytics = ammo for justifying what you charge
Wow, MAXIMUM monthly fee for PPC- interesting
@smx they're opening the kimono up here, you're missing out
Pretty much bored and waiting for matt cutts time
Talking to bruce clay rep, I mentioned conversions, he assumed I meant ppc- more confirmation that most of seo industry isn't tracking roi?
@martinbowling where you at?
@dannysullivan and @mattcutts are very fashion conscious
Kicking off about 13 yo fake story linkbait
Diff betw this and pigeonrank is this was left uncorrected for 2 wks- intentional deceit
Lying for linkbait diminishes quality of all search
Milli or vanilli is dead- reputation and credibility are not optional
New @mattcutts blog post-
Linkbait itself ok- if users not tricked into linking- Widgetbait web ctr spam hidden links to offtopic sites
Mahalo is content not pure search
Conditional redirect (based on gbot) is very high risk
Nuanced (quantified) penalty score factors in serps
First click free- u should get pg gbot saw for free
G knows lots of ways to find paid links- high risk
If u do ia right, no need to pr sculpt
Better to get more content and links than pr sculpting, says @mattcutts
Where the heck is this bar? Definitely lost now ;-)
@martinbowling dang that sucks! What's yer plan now?
I think I freaked @audette out with my polka dot joke
Where's the freakin party?
Internatl seo #smx
Yikes Yahoo PPC going to optimize your account without your help unless you opt out??! http://tinyurl.com/3ek9z4
Vikings didn't have horns on helmets??? Lies told at SMX!
Only takes a few dozen IBLs in some countries to get top 10 rankings
I think the trains make up for the rain here. Trains rock.
SEM male model guy has funky ringtone
subdomains for languages, cc tld's for countries
chinese shorter broader search queries so more links on pages- long tail shorter there?
cc tld is cheap, can host anywhere, doesn't matter
broad match ppc in other languages, check reports (srch query?) to find foreign language kws
find someone who speaks the language to do kw research, don't translate kw list but use as a seed list for research
don't use flag as symbol for language change
Having a snow patrol moment. Bose headphones with subwoofers ROCK.
#SMX has given me some killer blog post ideas. And looks like KILLER will stay big in my tweetcloud.
Wondering what happened to @utahseopro today? h'ain't seem him.
How bout we have a big mob fight, in-house seo's vs agency seo's
brand:nonbrand ratio
there is 40x as much longtail srch volume vs brand srch query volume
@scottclark that's funny- in the meantime, we'll plan and launch a strategic bombing campaign against them
page indexation rate- how many are in google?
pages that don't drive traffic = flb's free loading bastards
phrases per page, phrases getting traffic
test changes on a few pages before rolling out to all, check metric improvements first
searchers delivered per page indexed (engine vs engine)
revenue per page from natural search- how many more pages could drive traffic and sales? missed opportunity cost?
laura lippay from yahoo- seo grid
seo referral gap = pages without traffic
more calculation of potential seo opportunity in $
very important to show seo opportunity in $ and charts to execs and clients
"stolen roi"- other channels stealing credit- if seo brought customer who became email signup, seo deserves lifetime value
write permanent cookie on first touch- write your own- write first touch data to CRM, 40% cookies deleted per month (comscore)?
need strategy to find out how they found out about you- pay cust svc people extra for getting info where you don't have it-
capture cancellations, order adjustments, re-orders; across browsers
crawl rate tracker- wp plugin altoft- seometer.com- log file analysis, customer solution- not in any analytics packages?
good seo gets user closer to conversion- ideal path- decreased time on page and site could be good
most sites crawled once a week, less than that means out of favor? all pages every 30 days- 30 days = supplemental?
enquisite's pretty cool combo of analytics and the data you need to know which pages to optimize for what- very targeted optimization
backlink geolocation can affect SERPs for people depending on the searcher's location, very interesting
adwords ppc campaign impressions = the new overture, duh!
webmaster tools all query stats content not human readable? wmc stats converter- http://tinyurl.com/4xb8zr
webmaster tools needs to report kw demand, postiion, and ctr
business with local footprint- can get big boost in SERPs to nearby searcher-
Richard's voice is very similar to a calm Kevin Spacey
Ya, glad we have an analytics person who isn't accountable to clients- can be objective
Ah this geo-sensitive SERPs thing is definitely grabbing people
geotargeted ppc campaign could help google understand your market?
multitouchpoint customer acquisition: if you don't get first, would you have gotten the others? First could be more important
@dannysullivan says seo people had to sit in "ghetto room"- he has ppc envy
@dannysullivan a google sandbox so deep you'll come out in *china*
ok i can't give substance but i will make fun of these people
Ok @oilman is pretty funny too- he and @aimclear can duke it out
seomoz- hi rand! (orm shoutout)
@martinbowling what from @oilman? No, but I bet I could use some at this point :-)
#smx ok u nerds u can take ur badges off now ;-)

AdWords is late coming back up after their scheduled outage.
Just submitted speaker proposal to pubcon LV 2008- may go regardless, who's going ? I know @audette is, but is anybody cool going? hahaha

@martinbowling I'm feeling a bit sassy, so I'm not sure if you're cool enough either. I'll let you know ;-)

As I said to @seowoman, all I have to say to @dannysullivan and @randfish is "Thanks for all you do, keep up the good work!"
Ha, Bill Walton was cool enough to email me back. Everybody pray or "good vibe" for him whichever u believe- for his hip and back problems.
about 200 pgs of sem to read, a video to conceive and create tonight, a conference presentation tomorrow, and nba finals... phew

Sometimes TwitterFox freezes my whole FireFox browser for 10 seconds while loading its info. :-(
I've had three not so great AdWords phone support experiences in a row, and two other advertisers tell me quality has gone down.
AdWords support quality decrease is maddening because it was so good before. Seems like they're hiring nice smart people but not training.
It's funny when a search engine site moves part of its content and doesn't 301 it. That's a BIG duh....
