Social marketing is the new search engine optimization. Reciprocal voting is the new reciprocal linking. It offers a fairly low barrier to entry, and the opportunity to drive a TON of traffic in a short period of time. Even more importantly, social media has become a cornerstone of the strategy for launching sites, or improving their link popularity.

So my buddy Marcus told me about this SEO de Janerio event at Pubcon Vegas, and I was all ears. I’ve decided to see what’s happenin’ on the darkside after being asked by Quadzilla to come be an expert as this sick looking event. They threw an amazing party in Germany, and I expect they’ll be stepping it up a notch. They’ve got some awesome people coming including: 6 of the top SEO Black Hat Forum Contributors
Marcus Tandler (Mediadonis)
Ralph and Dirk (From Fantomaster)
Brian Clark (Copyblogger)
Bob Rains (Let’s Make it Awesome)
It sounds like there’s a little bit of room left, so drop Quadzilla a line while there’s still a chance.

I had discontinued my linkbaiting service for a while, but after a few months of work on various projects, I’ve decided to offer a new and improved social media consulting service. If you’re shopping for someone to handle your social media campaigns that also has a knowledge of SEO, be sure to catch me and give me a card at Pubcon, or drop me a line through the site. Please don’t leave comments, as I haven’t cleaned up that wasteland in several months.

It’s that wonderful time of year again. Nearly a week in Vegas for the annual Webmaster World pilgramage. If you’re planning on attending, you should have your seat and hotel by now. If you don’t, I’ll reward your procrastination with a 20% coupon. Use the code ma-29220 when you sign up. I’ll be speaking and moderating some panels, so be sure to say hi.

One of the most surprising things I learned while working on my viral content sharing report is that one of the most common reasons people send content to their friends is because they believe that otherwise their friends may not see it. People who mentioned this typically said things like "they might have missed it," "they might not have seen it on their own," or "some of my friends aren't up on the news." Almost 6% of the respondents to my survey specifically gave some variation of this motivation and I believe this percentage is merely the tip of the iceberg since users often do not fully understand all of the triggers at work in their own behaviors (as Dr. Clotaire Rapaille says "most people don't know why they do what the things they do.").

Sitting here with David Klein (mastermind behind the thinktank, who is selling an extraordinary door lock in the near future at Wordcamp playing wordgames - get the full scoop on them here.

SES San Jose should be a great time. I’m slotted to moderate a session on SEO friendly design and development, as well as do a site review session. I’m glad I didn’t have to create a new presentation, because planning a party is tough! Anyhow - I hope you’ll make it, and help promote it.
