Generation Google a General Disappointment

This morning I went running, hopped in the shower, and ran to the conference, hair still wet, because I didn't want to miss the Generation Google panel. I was excited to hear more about Harrison Gevirtz, a sixteen year old affiliate marketer, and Chloe Spencer, Stephan Spencer's daughter and a blogger who makes a good chunk of dough from AdSense earnings.

Legal Issues, The Economics of Search, PPC Pitfalls, and the SMX Search Bowl

Yesterday I attended sessions, met some new folks, and attended Search Bowl. Below is a brief recap and my opinions of Day 1 of SMX West.

20 Minutes to Mention Paid Links: SES London Day 1, Part 1

I'm attending the first day of SES London as an unofficial SEOmoz correspondent. Rather than providing a live-blogging "he said; she said" commentary Rand has asked me to provide overviews & analytic commentary; I'll certainly do my best, but if I end up talking about what I had for my lunch you'll know that Rand got the wrong guy for the job. The day got off to...
