For the 4th straight year, we’re doing the Search Engine Marketing Conference again and it will happen on October 7 & 8, 2010 here in Manila. It’s a search marketing event you don’t want to miss out on.

This year, we’re bringing the big guns in the SEO world — Aaron Wall (SEOBook) and Todd Malicoat (Stuntdubl) along with Jim Boykin, Charlie Ellis and Dean Chew. We don’t often get to see these guys come over to the Philippines and talk SEO so this opportunity is very hard to come by.

The 2-day conference will cover “Search and Social” — SEM, SEO, SMO, PPC — and how the mix of both strategies bring the best results in search marketing.

We also have our local rockstars on the SEO and Social Media sphere — RJ David of Sulit.com.ph, Benj Arriola, Mike Villar and TJ Manotoc (to talk about Search & Social Media in the Newsroom).

What to expect in SEMCON 2010?

Meet & greet the rockstars (we’ll do a networking night so you get more time to mingle with speakers and fellow delegates).
Find talents or scout for a new client, business partner or employer. Bring a lot of your calling cards with you.
Ask the tough questions and get the answers straight and fast — so prepare for a nosebleed session.

And did I mention you get to meet Aaron Wall himself?

So mark the date, file your VLs early or tell your boss this is a conference he needs to send you to if your company is serious about SEO.

SEO which almost did in every company to promote and increase their traffic. We cannot avoid those because it really effective. SEO do have lot of method, just some method may look like a spam. Now even blogger also using SEO and no for companies only. So SEO still important. Even active in Facebook And Twitter also kind of SEO.

“i donâ€™t apply any seo tactics” vs “I will teach you all the seo strategy Iâ€™m doing right now”

@charlie – i thought you’re not using any seo tactics? LOL

“after a couple of days itâ€™s already on the first page of search result”

anyone could do this. even though you’re not an seo specialist. i could even make a page on the first page rank #1 in just 1-day (zero competition hahaha).

“SEO is a hype-up internet strategy invented by clever internet marketer or IT professional to make a lot of money.”

one of the reasons why a lot of internet marketer loves SEO is to make a lot of money so they can pay their monthly bills without working in a big company that gives small salary.

“12k for something freely available on the net”

12k is just a small amount of money an seo specialist could spend.

“I will teach you all the seo strategy”

you’re bragging about your seo strategy when you can’t even spend 12k? LOL. if your 6-year old page is always on the first page with the right keyword a searcher is using, then that means you could spend 12k for advancement or why not become like them who could talk in front of businessmen and teach them the right way to do SEO.

@charie seo is not a hype up internet strategy. their is a technique and strategy on how to do it. Brush about your seo knowledge before you talk about it.

I’ll attend if RJ will disclose how he did this: =)

SEO is a hype-up internet strategy invented by clever internet marketer or IT professional to make a lot of money.

Imgine paying 12k for something freely available on the net. Heck, give me a burger and I will teach you all the seo strategy I’m doing right now on my sites. It will only take a few minutes.

This is just my own personal opinion, Sorry, I don’t want to offend anybody.

charlie · 16 years ago

i agree with Mr.A and Solidad.

i don’t apply any seo tactics on my site and yet whenever i post something, after a few minutes, it’s already being indexed by search engine, and after a couple of days it’s already on the first page of search result.

main reason i guess is:

1. the age of the site, which is more than 6 years already, and;
2. post frequency of almost daily.

there you go.. it sums up the whole seo stragegy.

imo, this is just a hype-up marketing strategy in the same way that they do to the Y2K scare — it’s all about making money out of something we don’t need in the first place.

Solidad · 16 years ago

@Andre
It is basically optimizing your site, so that algorithms used by google will be favored, thus puts them on the top of the search result. Reasons why I see a lot of content farms, and parking sites since they manipulatively take advantage of SEOs.

I understand what you mean. I just don’t like the concept of SEOs, period. Let’s not go on a debate for this.

Andre Marcelo-Tanner · 16 years ago

SEO is a type of marketing to increase the chance of a page being found using a search engine, it is the search engines job to make sure its the right information.

Mr.A · 16 years ago

I have this mindset with regards to SEOs. They’re making the internet unreliable by pushing unnecessary information to the top of our search result. It also makes good content harder to find. Reason why sites like facebook, twitter and other SNS more preferred.

Anyway, I maybe talking to a wrong type of SEOs. I’m intersted on joining this, yet, a 12K price tag is not up to my budget.
