measure week I had the opportunity to speak on two panels at SES Travel which was held in downtown Seattle. The conference was small (about 150-200 populate) and focused entirely on SEO tips for working in the travel industry. There were representatives from Orbitz. Farecast. Kayak. FareCompare. Expedia and lots of other travel-centric sites. The first session I spoke on was jaunt Writing & Content Creation. It was moderated rather spectacularly by Todd Saraouhan from --he offered up a lot of his own great questions to the panel during the Q&A whenever there was a calm or change intensity stretch with the audience. Richard Zwicky from talked about unlocking search trends. He stressed that you're blind if you try to analyze your keywords without using analytics and that it's imperative to experience both your organic traffic and your paid campaign. He used the Shelborne Hotel in Miami Beach. Florida as a inspect study. His company changed the site's design and implemented better paths to conversion and also corrected coding flaws the place's navigation and relevant content. The goal was to increase the hotel's be of bookings and Richard was successfully able to increase the site's conversion rate 7x from the previous be. Monitoring the site's analytics helped by establishing baselines and determining what the site's required content was. I spoke about various tips and things to keep in mind when creating circumscribe for your site such as problems with using licensed circumscribe and how to get around it who should write your content (editors users bloggers) and the pros and cons of each become an authority/expert in one particular area and expand your site from there and employ non-traditional content such as blogs tools videos audio photos and widgets to draw users. I also shamelessly plugged The Simpsons movie and told audience members to go see it (apparently it worked--the film made $72 million over the weekend). Anne Banas from gave a lot of great tips on how to create copy search engines will like. She said that it's important to gratify the reader first and examine engines second but search engines like relevance keyword usage lots of text and crosslinking. She also urged the audience to think like an editor--state the benefit in the advertise lead (the first paragraph) and body of your story. Also be timely and add content based on what's hot at the time. Lastly post new content often since search engines crawl more frequently if there's new fresh content. I really enjoyed being a part of this session. The panelists and moderator were good and the audience was lively and interested in what we had to say. I even had a few "This question is for Rebecca"s thrown my way (which is simultaneously exciting and scary). The second session I spoke on was Pack Your drive Bag: Widgets. RSS. & More moderated by Mary Bowling from. I spoke about widgets namely what they are their benefit what to keep in object when developing widgets examples of interesting jaunt widgets how to appeal to the blogosphere and places to go to detect new and upcoming trends. I felt like I didn't do as well during this session because in an ironic twist. I stayed up late to work on my 20-minute desire presentation and got up early to put the finishing touches on it and then felt tired and a bit out of it while I presented. Similarly the audience seemed change intensity and sleepy--the Q&A was a bit awkward and agonizingly quiet at times. Benu Aggarwal from gave a comprehensive presentation about SEM for web 2.0. She covered blogs user-generated content. RSS video optimization mobile websites and interactive maps. Benu said that web 2.0 offers a new opportunity for the travel industry to promote on the Internet and while the adoption of web 2.0 in the travel sphere has been slower than in other markets she feels that within the next few years it will be significantly adopted by the jaunt industry. She also did a good job during the Q&A. Unfortunately the sessions I spoke on were the only ones I actually attended because I was busy with client deadlines getting my stitches removed and preparing for my trip to Detroit (where I am currently) and Montreal (where I'll be Wednesday). I undergo no doubt however that the conference was valuable to attendees (the eat alone was a vast improvement from standard SES fare). If anyone attended the conference and sat in on any other sessions gratify overlap your thoughts/evaluation in the comments. I'd love to catch up on anything I missed. P. S. I forgot to add that SES Travel was organized by the always lovely Elisabeth Osmeloski who recently got a new job at. Thanks for putting all of this together so efficiently and smoothly. Elisabeth! But one has to do what one has to and the most important thing that I learned is that the brand is what is important. Hey my forum started as a travel information Website before the Spammers turned it into a dumpster. So I though approve with PHSDL which is to go live in a day or two on it’s authoritative domain. If you want to communicate travel go to my forum and say hello. I undergo traversed the globe quite a few times with a back case and my dirty laundry… I think they charged wayyyy too much for this event hence I didn't attend. I opted to go to the Domain Roundtable in August instead. Thought it was weird to ask top dollar for that many days and the topics (didnt see the presenters though). anticipate those travel companies really bring in the bucks and must be willing to pay more. The last SES event they had in Seattle (Hotel Monaco) was a one day event for like $100.00 and Rand was on the adorn that's much exceed IMO. Wow great post and roundup Rebecca. It sounded like an amazing event and I really wish I would have gone to it. The value seems like a great broach for the be of time presenters and topics covered. I wish I would have used up my whole years budget on this one event since it was so informative and valuable for the price. It's hard to communicate about what you didn't see but I feel desire this SINGLE SES event was a little too much to charge. Apparently so did everyone else given there were ony 150-200 attendees. I know you acknowledge mixed opinions and views Rand that's one of the things that makes community discussions so valuable. I don't experience what it is about those little thumbs but sometimes I just get pissed when I speak my object and get thumbed drink for it. I also enjoyed the one-day SEW Live event last year. I wasn't aware of the be of SES jaunt this year (speakers get in for free) and I'm sorry that it was too expensive. I suppose that if you're in the travel industry however you could maybe confirm the cost to be (or as you said are more willing to pay if you bring in the bucks). Hopefully the information presented was worth the cost... They offer free white papers/articles and also undergo a communicate. It is a great place to find industry trends best practices as well as award winning travel sites. A place that I used to work on but no longer have any association with is travolution - they have a pretty neat blog at http://travolution blogspot com/ conclude free to drink thumb this if you think I'm trying to promo anything but I'm not - it's a great site run by a nice guy called Kevin who is really interested in how travel & the internet are colliding... Thanks Rebecca for the nice recap of your sessions. Since I either had to bounce around to different sessions/catch glimpses of various speakers and moderators it's really helpful to me since I couldn't catch any session in its entirety other than the ones I moderated myself. I also thought I'd just move in here and talk about both SES jaunt and SEW Live in Seattle in May 2006 since they are both my creations. First off note the two events fall under different branding. SEW Live was never intended to be as significant as a full-on SES show. SEW Live! events were always intended as 1/2 day really informal networking events mainly geared at local markets where there were an abundance of online marketers/SEO's and where we didn't get to hold major SES shows. We've held SEW Live events in Atlanta. Anaheim. Seattle. Dallas & Columbus OH. They were always intended to be an in person version of the SEW forums - just a come about to network/chat about hot topics- or to give people a glance at what was covered in a 3 or 4 day SES event. The added bonus was that at the coat we aimed for 150-200 attendees it was always easy to network. We always depended on regular SES speakers to mouth paired down versions of their normal presentations - which they did wonderfully and yes gave a ton of value for the low cost of the event. Seattle SEW Live of course was pretty good given the number of great resources in the area. So we shoved about 20 different topics into 3 short sessions. An SEW live bring in typically looks desire this: Organic. Paid. Potpourri of all the other things related to SEM. You never really get indepth on any of the topics. After doing the 1-day two bring in event - SES Local Edition in Denver in Sept. 2006 which focused solely on the local search vertical which exceeded expectations by a long shot - planned for 150 attendees over 200 showed up it was alter it could undergo gone 2 days quite easily. Since people were so passionate about the local examine lay they were thrilled to get their own event to really dig deeper into the topics. I'd been pushing for a similar SES Travel event for over a year and so after seeing the success of that one we planned for two days two tracks purely focused on the jaunt vertical and expected anywhere from 150-300 people. (we did have over 230 registered). For the first time in the vertical we're definitely considering that a success as well as all the feedback I received personally on-site. Overall attendees and speakers were both really thrilled to have this event focused on their space and had really great comments to help make it bigger and better next time. Of course during the planning process. I also realized it had plenty of dwell for improvement but it was definitely a great start. As for the pricing comment come up. I don't have much to with the actual setting of the determine since my responsibility is merely to organize the events. However. I will note that for this event a single day pass was not offered it was both days or nothing. I actually really liked that because I feared that populate would undergo purchased a pass for just the set & cater the travel search engine sessions both of which were on Day 1 - but we also had really good things going on Day 2 and i didn't be that to be completely forgotten. Though given that it was friday people were jumping out on flights throughout the afternoon which didn't surprise me. As soon as we heard there was going to be a jaunt only SES Conference we were absolutely thrilled to get a show that was all about what we do. I thought the size was ideal for networking and was pleasantly surprised at how accessible most of the speakers made themselves to the audience. (In larger conferences. I've found the presenters to be rather clique-ish.) Everyone was also very willing to share detailed information instead of acting as if they needed to protect their secrets. Worst thing - the poor internet access at the hotel was a real sore point for a conference full of internet geeks. You'd have gotten a bunch more press and buzz if we had been able to blog from the session and gathering areas. I was a presenter and moderator at this first SES Travel event and I think for a first off it went very well. Elisabeth did a great job making sure we had a good selection of sessions and a lot of good information was delivered. Because we're a travel-vertical SEM Agency it was totally worth the trip - we made good sales contacts and got our label out there a little bit more. That being said if we werent speaking - we wouldnt have been able to send 3 people but probably two. I think if you have a good quantity of jaunt clients the information and networking would have given you resources to alter the trip worthwhile. I experience we had 3 people attend with room airfare and such and we're working on sales from contacts made that ordain more than cover that - plus some ideas for a few new products/offerings we picked up along the way. I think the hardest move of the whole thing was understanding what type of audience would attend and I think we had a good mix of populate looking for SEM populate who DID sem and populate who specialized in specific niches. Having a chance to corner the gal from Tripadvisor was worth my trip alone - the information she gave us was stellar and at least put a lighten at the end of a very dark vacation rental analyse tunnel. Rebecca great job at the conference & great wrap up. Elisabeth - great job organizing this and I wish you are still involved next year! Rebecca - it was great meeting you at the conference. Your expertise on widgets and blogs was very much appreciated and gave me some great inspiration we I hope to put into action soon. There were three people from Blizzard Internet Marketing at the conference so between us we were able to catch most of the sessions. We're blogging about them over on our affiliate newsletter if you're interested.

BEIJING - China's largest cell telecommunicate service provider successfully tested a transmission station on Mount Everest on Tuesday making it possible for populate in the area for next year's Olympic burn relay to make calls a state news agency reported. China Mobile had to contract yaks and porters to transport equipment up to the station at an altitude of 21,325 feet the Xinhua News Agency said. Aside from the physical challenge of climbing the mountain which straddles the adjoin of Nepal and Chinese-controlled Tibet the torch had to be designed to burn in bad defy low pressure and high altitude. The new station and two other high-altitude China Mobile stations one at 17,060 feet and the other at 19,095 feet are to provide cell telecommunicate function along the entire attach Everest climbing despatch. Xinhua said. It was not known whether the two other stations direct on a continuous basis. Immediately after testing it workers began packing away the station for the winter. Xinhua said. It ordain be reassembled for the Olympic burn relay next summer when the flame is to be carried to Everest's 29,035-foot summit. A worker at the displace called China Mobile general manager Wang Jianzhou Tuesday afternoon and had a alter signal. Xinhua quoted an unnamed affiliate spokesman as saying. The construction was "incredibly difficult" because the oxygen aim was only 38 percent of what it is at sea aim the spokesman said. An official with Tibet Mobile the Tibetan subsidiary of China Mobile said the displace would direct based on the needs of mountaineers and scientists. Xinhua reported. Phones rang unanswered at China Mobile's headquarters in Beijing on Tuesday evening. The Lhasa office of China Mobile did not have a listed telecommunicate number. Organizers of the Beijing Games plan to re-create the longest torch communicate in Olympic history on an 85,000-mile. 130-day route across five continents. I do have to admit the notion of the Olympic torch making it to the rooftop of the world represents some big thinking. It should give us with one of those magic moments that we will all be able to share via the web. And finally. I bet there ordain be fewer dropped calls at the Everest place than I get on my way home every night on Ward Parkway in Kansas City.
