The deadline to submit a pitch to speak on any open session is this Saturday, January 7th. On the conference website, there’s basic info about speaking at SMX shows, and here’s the speaker pitch form to get your name in the running. My SessionsAs I said, I’ll be coordinating four sessions even though I’m not attending SMX West this year. Another moderator will step in and run each session in my absence. But I’ll be overseeing and selecting speakers for these sessions: Day One (February 28) Hardcore Local SEO Tactics We did this session at SMX Advanced last year, where it was a HUGE hit — so we repeated it at SMX East, too. We’re keeping the session name for SMX West, but my goal is to not repeat the same content that we’ve already done twice. I’ve let the speakers from Advanced and East know that I’d love for them to pitch again for SMX West, but that I’ll be looking for new content this time around. Solving Problems & Seeing Success In Google Places This is another local search/SEO session, but this one is more focused on Google Places and the various issues that come up when using it. I’m looking for pitches about things like
Day Three (March 1) SEO Essentials For Migrating Websites This is a very specific and tactical-based session to help webmasters/companies that are facing the prospects of moving to a new domain, a new CMS platform, a new web hosting company, etc. I’ll be looking for a variety of SEO tactics that can help the audience learn how not to lose the SEO trust/equity that they’ve built up on their existing domain/CMS/etc. Life In A [Not Provided] World The title here refers to Google’s recent decision to not share keyword referrer data from searchers that are logged-in to their Google account. But rather than pitches that are rants against Google’s decision, I’m looking for speakers to help the SMX attendees learn how to deal with Google’s change. There are already two confirmed speakers on this session, but I should have room for at least one more. So, there ya go! If you have some tactics, strategies and/or case studies to share with the SMX audience, please consider submitting a pitch before Saturday on any of these sessions! Hey!

SMX West 2012: Speaking Pitch Form Closes This Week (Here’s What I’m Looking For) MORE NEWS FROM SMALL BUSINESS SEMWhy I’m Not Sure Google Will “Nail” the Places-Plus IntegrationDavid Mihm wrote an epic post earlier this week about the eventual merge/integration of Google Places and Google Plus.

SBSM Flashback: May 2011For those of you who are new SBSM readers & subscribers, here’s a list of noteworthy posts you probably missed from one year ago. I try to put together a post like this each month to introduce new readers to old content that might be worth reading. Google’s Freshness Algorithm in ActionReal quick post here (I hope) about fresh content in Google’s search results. Background Google has been emphasizing fresh content in its search results for some time now. That link goes back to November 2011, and when I write on Search Engine Land about Google’s monthly search quality ... The Fallacy of Timing Blog Posts & Social Media UpdatesStudies that claim to tell you when the best time to publish a blog post or share content socially are, in my opinion, mostly a load of crap.

Content marketing is important but not free!One of the things that irks me is when I hear a marketing “expert” extoll the virtues of content (or social or digital) marketing and to close the sale — they remind their audience — “and best of all, it’s free.” A Very Short Message to the Shitdiots at @KloutA Very Short Message to the Shitdiots at @Klout originally appeared on Danny Brown - under a Creative Commons license.
