I’m very pleased to be speaking at two panels this year at the SMX London event on the 18th and 19th May, 2009.
Both of my panels are on the 19th – first up, “Industrial Strength SEO“. I’ll actually be drawing upon some of my experience in organisational SEO for this one. Particulary, recruiting, organising and managing your SEO team. Those that know me well will realise I’ll be drawing upon my experience as UK SEO Manager for Cheapflights.co.uk. I’ll also be covering how to interface SEO practises with the rest of the company, from content creation to SEO technical specifications. Should be a nice start to the day.
Here’s the agenda for the panel and the moderator / speaker list:
When you’re doing SEO for a big site – or tens or hundreds of sites – you’ve got to bring in the big tools, lots of organizational skills and know how to integrate SEO with the ongoing web production processes and employee thinking in general. This session examines both the technical and organizational challenges of running huge web sites that must be search friendly.
Moderator: Dixon Jones, Managing Director, Receptional LTD
Speakers:
Andy Atkins-Krueger, Managing Director, WebCertain Global Ltd
Richard Baxter, (Me!)
Gary Beal, Managing Director, Vanguard SEO
Mike Grehan, Global KDM Officer, Acronym Media
Next up, “Diagnosing Website Architecture issues”. This is more of a grass roots SEO session. I’ll be covering specific examples of problems with sites, how they were discovered and how they should be fixed. Looking at some of the names on this list I can’t help but feel this is going to be a pretty exciting roundup – and so I hear, SI Fiskin will be there with Rand so Si, I promise to bring my A material…
