The Journey Home – An SEOktoberfest Wrap Up

“Star Alliance World Wide Computer Failure” are some shitty ass words to hear in a morning when you are slated for a 45 min layover in 3 hours time.

Sigh: So now, what do I do that I’ve just been told my 11 hour journey back home just turned into 31 hours. How about an SEOktoberfest wrap up?

First off, thanks to absolutely everyone who attended, spoke, helped, planned or was in any way involved: you all rocked.

SEOktoberfest was amazing: when you get that caliber of people together, great things always seem to happen. The most amusing part had to be Rsnake, who was sincerely concerned beforehand that no one would be interested in what he was going to say.

Those concerns were, of course, unwarranted as he blew everyone away during a 2 hour demonstration that had everyone (well all but 2 people) complete entranced:

“…and that’s how you would force the click to any link on the page. Now lets move on to uploading your content legally to thousands of servers around the world…”

That’s not to say he was the only star. Cygnus showed that there is indeed a use for twitter – and a damn good one at that, Fantomaster talked about the bleeding edge of content generation, and Matias showed me in a side conversation two ways to get #1 rankings without any links.

Yea – I suppose I might be able to find a use for that.

In fact, everyone who took the mic completely rocked it. If it weren’t for the vow of silence that allows for that kind of free exchange of information, this post would be USEFUL rather than just INTERESTING.

Sorry guys.

By this time tomorrow, I’ll be back home and back to work. Expect some good stuff on the blog in the not too distant future: including some hot new tools I’ve been putting off reviewing for more than 2 months now.

What else can I say?

I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaack!
