We’ve just returned from the Search Engine Strategies Conference in San Jose.

This was maybe the best SES I can recall attending. It’s our first time to exhibit in San Jose. We are regulars at the Chicago SES. We’ve had a booth there for several years.

Here’s a picture of our booth:

I also, taught a training class at the end of the week:

Training Classes: Search Engine Strategies San Jose – August 20–23, 2007 - Tech Pitfalls That Will Derail Your SEO

This was a fairly technical class. But being that I am an English/Music major, I think I bring a real personal touch to the tech world People seemed to enjoy it. There will be evaluations coming out soon, so we’ll know for sure.

If you have never attended a Search Engine Strategies, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s the center of the universe for the best minds in search for that given week.
