I just saw this mini conference being held by SEM Portland on the 9th of February….so only a few days folks. I’ll hopefully catch anyone in the area who hasn’t heard of these folks just in case they want to catch what looks like an amazing panel of speakers. I’m almost on the verge of catching a flight since it’s only a 60 minute one from Vancouver here, but work is keeping my bogged down as usual.
What made me want to write about this event was the link building topics being discussed. Instead of the usual boring basics it looks like they’re going to be getting into it deep. As you can see from the list of guest speakers below there is no shortage of talent.
On February 9th, a panel of link building experts, will take us through:

I thought I’d start having more fun and post some stuff from our office from time to time. Most of you only hear me ranting on the blog but everyone else here keeps pretty busy and behind the scenes. We’re working on a few podcast episodes at the moment which will introduce everyone else. There are only four of us here and our office looks pretty bare for how long we’ve been here. I couldn’t get the work done without everyone here so enjoy some of the pictures even though they’re pretty boring.
Kevin is on the left and he’s our programmer who just happens to be good at accounting a well…We all suspect he’ll eventually commit suicide from all the math, statistics and frustration. If you’d like to have a widget coded up and make Kevin’s life even more busy then get in touch. The other Ryan on the right is manager of the linkbait and social media marketing end of things and he’s the guy getting your content viral on all the social news sites.
I think the magical number of whiteboards is 3 and we enjoy staring at them despite how much more efficient my iPhone and netbook are. You’d normally see Geoff in this picture if he didn’t decide to sleep in and work from home today…I figure I can tease him about it a little even though he’s got more work done than I today.
This is my desk at the moment which looks kind of bare on one end and messy as hell on the other. All I really need is my netbook and Starbucks so I keep a pretty clean desk. My home office looks a lot more professional, and by professional I mean dual LCD screens and really big speakers.

Linkscape from SEOmoz has been around a long time now and is one of the biggest private link databases on the market. I’m a huge fan of Linkscape and the new and improved Open Site Explorer so you know that these tools will handle all your backlink analysis needs. I highly recommend signing up with SEOmoz Pro for a month to get a feel for all the tools, not just the link handy backlink explorer. If you’re in the market for tools to make reports for clients then I also highly suggest you get on it…I’m just migrating my clients over to some of the reporting and it’s a really handy feature.

A little off topic but I’m pulling a late night finishing a proposal and some client work so I had to get some handy tools…aka chocolate. Lindt has a wide range of odd chocolates that indulge my sweet tooth from time to time and tonight it’s Sea Salt and Blueberry. We don’t get a lot of crazy chocolate here in Canada except for the these that are at some major grocery stores. If you find yourself working late and need something to keep ya going check out the Sea Salt flavor before anything else.

Hey folks! This is just a quick update to let you know they’re running another coupon for 20% off over at Best Of The Web Directory. If you’re still wanting to get in on BOTW then now is the time to get the deals while they’re hot. I got a lot of on the fence people with last month’s coupon, so here’s even more 5% more off the list prices.
BOTW still is one of the most important links you can have in your profile because of the age and the quality they keep up there. If you have a quality site I wouldn’t worry about not getting accepted for the most part from what I’ve personally seen on my end from clients and my own sites. All you need to do to get the discount is use coupon code NEWYR when you’re checking out any of their marketing products.
