BizMord Search and Marketing Blog» A Blog about Internet Marketing (SEO, PPC, etc), Traditional Marketing, Selling, Business St: At a recent marketing seminar I attended, one of the speakers (Dana Todd from SiteLab I believe) asked attendees to raise their hand if they DO NOT have an in-house SEO person and instead pay a search optimization company to do the job. I’d say about 60-70% of hands were raised. (via Cosmos)

- rogerd’s notebook: Last week I did a couple of presentations (on Community Building and Competitive Intelligence) at WebmasterWorld’s Pubcon, and caught the opening keynote session by Guy Kawasaki. Guy is a funny and engaging speaker, and a good choice to kick off a conference that covers a broad range of marketing, business, and tech issues. (via Cosmos)

  Web 2.0 Blog by AU Interactive: It looks like Google may be “profiling” website owners using the whois data of their registered domains. At Pubcon last week during one of the sessions, Matt Cutts was reviewing an attendee’s website and using his laptop (which was tunneled into Google’s brain I assume), looked up all the domains this person owned and called him out on it, suggesting that a number of other websites he owned looked spammy.

Niche Web Marketing and Viral Concepts by Tony Rocks:   I’ve learned recently that one big topic at Pubcon was combating duplicate content, scrapers, splogs (spam blogs). The thought is to battle these web polluters with a sitemap standard, or more so a standard to guarantee claim of content ownership.

  John Battelle's Searchblog: One of the sessions I was most proud of at Web 2 was "The Pirate and the Suit." Somehow I got the CEO of EMI North America, David Munns, to sit down with Eric Kleptone and have a real conversation about the issues involved in making new forms of music like "A Night at the Hip Hopera", which starts with a very big "FU" to EMI (I even played the intro before we started talking). It was a thoughtful conversation, and at times it was clear that David was less than comfortable - he was in front of what might at any time turn into a hostile audience, and he was representing "the man." So when it was over, I went into the green room and thanked him for showing up. (via Cosmos)
