WebmasterWorlds Publishers Conference VI! 26th-28th of Feb

[Garrett]

Have you heard of WebMasterWorld? (http://www.webmasterworld.com) The grand-daddy of webmaster forums is hosting an Internet Marketing conference (http://www.webmasterworld.com/conference/) on the 26th, 27th, and 28th of February.

Matt Cutts of Google will be there, along with representatives of Yahoo!, PositionTech, and GoToast, not to mention sponsors like Overture.

I'd like to hear any and all questions you'd like me to pose during the conference or during interviews. Of course nothing beats asking the questions yourself, so you should attend if at all possible.

The price is great. (http://www.webmasterworld.com/conference/register.htm)

I am going with you (well, not with you, but I will be attending).

I'm not sure what to expect there, but since it is a stone's throw from me I figured "What do I have to lose?" (besides $300).

[Garrett]

Hey Tom,

I think you'll find it's well worth the cash, especially if you don't have travel and hotel fees.

Be sure and say hi if you see me -- just watch for the Google reps. I'll be following them around with a notepad and pen.

One of the things I liked so much about the Search Engine Strategies conference was the concentration of intelligent professionals focused on search. I'm sure the PubConference will deliver the same. And there are going to be free drinks at the PubConference too :)

Although I sadly won't be able to make it to this PubCon, I was at the last one and I consider it the single most important thing I did for my business last year.

And the single worst thing I did to my liver.

Garrett French of WebProNews and WebProWorld will be reporting live at the 3-day WebmasterWorld Search Engine and Marketing Conference in late February. The event is in Orlando on February 24-26.

The reporting will be done in real-time throughout the day with posts in this WebProWorld Insider Forum. This reporting strategy is unique to WebProWorld and will be similar to our recent coverage of the Search Engine Strategies Conferecne in Chicago. It will include coverage of individual sessions, exclusive interview with speakers and attendee's and highlights of the most interesting and useful discussions. We obviously welcome your comments.

Keynote speakers are Matt Cutts of Google and Andy Bourland of MaketingWonk. Matt is an integral part of Google's search quality control team, and Andy co-founded ClickZ. In addition, conference speakers include: Tim Mayer from Yahoo, Paul Gardi from Teoma, Marshall Simmons from About.com, Eric Ward from URLWire, Kevin Lee from Did-it.com, and Search Engine Specialists including Mike Grehan, Dan Boberg and Greg Boser.

In the Search Engine Marketing track there will be topics titled PPC bid wars, paid inclusion and trusted feeds, and directories. The Search engine Optimization sessions include classic SEO techniques, aggressive proactive linking, algo testing and investigation, and beyond the search engines.

The Affiliate Track includes finding good affiliate programs, avoiding the traps and pitfalls, and a session called "The Golden Goose." Look for some of Garrett's reporting here in the WebProWorld Affiliate Forum.

There's also a Webmaster Technical track for those interested in getting more from tracking and logging, design and coding, domain names and whois, and a final session called: "Running with the Big Dogs: Are you really the master of your domain?"

Hey Everyone,

I've merged all threads regarding the 2004 WebmasterWorld Publisher's Conference. Now you can go to one place to find information on the upcoming conference, rather than having to search through thread after thread in this forum ;)

Does anyone else plan on attending? If so, what do you hope to learn?
