Search Engine Strategies Expo

[The New Guy]

Just thought I would pass this along.

I will be attending the Expo, but not the conference.

The Expo is December 9th & 10th.

The price seems to be fair, it's free if you sign up in advance.

Search Engine Strategies Chicago - December 8-12, 2008 - the Event for Search Engine Marketing & Optimization (SEM/SEO)

Maybe I will see you at the 2009 EXPO. I'm trying to learn all I can about SEO, but my agency is a little behind our production goals and I can't take any time off this year.

How is the new site working out for you? Are the outbound links helping to get it ranked?

I try to limit my outbound links to other sites that I own. I do link to my page on the Better Business Bureau's site, my local insurance department, w3.org and a few other sites that add credibility.

I'm curious to see how the 1,700 outbound links are working for you since it goes against the theories that I've read.

All of my links are related to health in one way or another. I will have about 8500 links in total on my next update to the directory sometime this week.

I tried to post a screen shot of my traffic log, but it didn't take.

Here is my traffic numbers for the site all unique ip's:

July 34 visits
Aug 353 visits
Sept 717 visits

Best one day total so far was 116 visits on Sept 22nd.

Average time spent on the site is 133 seconds.

I would expect more traffic when I begin filling my article directory.

My next step is to obtain backlinks from the sites I have linked to, that have links pages.

Over all, I'm very pleased with the results so far.

Great numbers! I have been trying to figure all this stuff out and am having a hard time. I am almost at the point of hiring someone to do it, but as you probably know, it's expensive! If you have the time, please let us know if the confrence was worth while.

Good luck

Are any of these conferences better than others? I know the one in New York is 4 days and some of them are only 1-2 days so I'm thinking New York is the best one to attend?
