Welcome to my review of day two of SES London 2009. Lets jump right into the action.
Orion Panel: SEO Where to Next?
Billed as a SES first and an ‘explosive’ session this panel discussion almost lived up to the hype. It’s hard to sum up in a few sentences the in-depth discussion that went on here with moderator Mike Grehan and panellists Kevin Ryan, Rand Fishkin, Brett Tabke, Chris Sherman and Jill Whalen, and still do it justice. One thing amongst many that stood out was the somewhat heated discussion between Rand and Jill. This boiled down to ‘link acquisition’ strategies (or lack of); Jills ‘natural website’ ethos, and Rands more ‘forced’ approach. Personally, I think to achieve a truly successful long term SEO strategy, and timely meet the commercial goals, you have to do both.
Edit: You can check to see just how fair off my description of the session was with this transcript from Search Marketing Gurus.
