Organic SEO Panel with Mike Grehan at SES in San Jose

One of the few SEOs out there that I respect is Mike Grehan who is now working for Acronym. Mike has serious clout with the organizers at Search Engine Strategies and I’m on board with Mike for the Organic SEO Panel on Thursday, August 21st. The session will kick off at 2:15pm.

I have known Mike for about five years and met him face-to-face in New Orleans at Webmaster World back in ‘05. He not only knows his stuff, but has a great sense of humor. I still recall an attendee at WMW asking “Do search engines index Flash sites?” To which Mike replied, “Of course, just do a search for ‘loading … loading … loading …”

That’s masterful.

This will also allow me to return back to my roots as I was born and raised in San Jose … and graduated from Branham High. I’ll be hitting Dry Creek Road, the Santa Cruz boardwalk and Old Town in Los Gatos.

The session at SES will be sweet, but not as sweet as what it took to get it arranged. You see, I am speaking at StomperNet Live the next day. Since there are no late flights out of San Jose, I head to San Francisco that night to catch the 10:30pm flight direct to Atlanta which arrives at 6:00am. And I hit the stage at 9:00am. Both coasts, back-to-back presentations. I may do a spot for Red Bull when it is all over!
