Avinash started with a bang (as only he knows how) as the first keynote speaker of SES London 2010.  Web Analytics has never sounded so exciting (don’t get me wrong,  I love analytics)…

Following the success it had early last year SphinnCon is coming back to Jerusalem, on March 7, 2010.

SphinnCon Israel is the premier networking event designed for SEOs, SEMs, SMOs and affiliate marketers to exchange ideas, influence the industry and build their networks.

Hosted by Barry Schwartz, it will be held at the Jerusalem College of Technology. Make sure you register early and not be among those who couldn’t get a seat last time.

During this one day event you will be able to join sessions on SEO, PPC, Web Analytics, Social Media and much more. With both global and local experts in search marketing, including representatives from Google, Search Engine Land and other well-known companies – there is nothing like this event anywhere.

Sponsored by the Jerusalem College of Technology, the tickets are only $50 per attendee, but space is limited to 200 attendees.

Compucall Web Marketing is among the sponsors, and Mr. Ophir Cohen, CEO, will be speaking at the event.

Don’t miss out, follow this link to find out more details and book a seat.

Firstly, I want to apologize for this taking so long, but I actually thought I’d never get around to it. I wasn’t sure what to write. I didn’t know if I wanted to get into technical summaries and my opinions of panels; if I wanted to go in the look at the pictures of drunk SEO people etc..

Then something happened. I came across a post on Outspoken Media written by Lisa Barone that talked about personal branding in SEO and the race to  follow the SEO Stars. I suggest you read it and read the comments too. Very worthwhile. I even learned a new word: Scoble. In any case, where it took me was what I took back from SMX West 2009 in Santa Clara and how it turned out to be much more rewarding than I thought because of the personal branding.

Yesterday I had the privilege of being invited and to speak at Wordcamp Israel 2008. I was asked to give a presentation about optimizing your Wordpress blog for SEO. To tell you the truth, what I thought would be a pretty easy subject matter, turned out to be very hard to fit into 20 minutes. What started off as a big explanation of SEO add-ons for Wordpress and linking and keyword research, turned into something much more simple. Read More »

Finally a relevant professional affiliates conference in Israel. For years, me and my colleagues have been flying abroad to attend professional conferences in various cities in the States, London, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Beijing, Shanghai and Sydney. We are all used to spending $5000 and more to attend each one of these conferences where 50% of the attendees are speaking Hebrew. Affilicon, the Affiliates Conference is planning to attract 100s of vendors and affiliates and the agenda leads me to believe that the planned conference will be as good as the ones I have attended abroad.  There is no reason why the land where Empire Online, 888 and Playtech were born and where some of the largest affiliates exist will not be where the best professional conferences will not be held. I hear that around 100 attendees are due to arrive from abroad.

I strongly recommend you to attend the seminar. Look to www.affilicon.com.

See ya there
