After taking the summer to spend time with my wife, son Kris Jr, daughter Lauren, and newborn Jackson....it's time to get back to work! Well.....I never stopped working but I did take a few months off from travel and public speaking outside of local events and seminars in my hometown of Wilkes Barre / Scranton, Pennsylvania. In addition, I started a new company (more on that in a later post) and put some money to work in various early stage and alternative types of investments. So....for those of you that attend internet marketing conferences or just so happen to attend ...

Vanessa Zamora, Video Content Producer at WebmasterWorld, interviewed me on a range of topics, including the impact of Google Instant, Google Suggest, and Google Local on SEO during PubCon, Las Vegas in November 2010.

For instance, one of the things I point out is that Google appears to have a commercial bias in the way ...

After receiving multiple different requests I've decided to share the presentation I delivered last week at PubCon Las Vegas 2010 using slideshare.

Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. This presentation is eighteen (18) slides in length and starts with a broad summary of the benefits of Google Instant. Here is a TOC of each slide: (1) Title / Author (2) What is Google ...

I'll be speaking on two panels @ Search Engine Strategies (SES) Chicago next week. The event is being held at the Chicago Hilton on Michigan Avenue.

The Competitive Research panel includes the same dynamic speakers that I shared the stage with a few months back at SES San Francisco, including Eli Goodman, Chief Search Evangelist ...

One of the great things about the Search Engine Strategies - San Francisco conference I attended a few weeks ago was the fact that my book publisher (Wiley) has one of its major corporate offices in Downtown, SF. I spent quite a bit of time with my marketing team at Wiley, including Sandy Smith and Allison Clarke on various promotional activities, including a book signing in SF (which I blogged about already) and a happy hour sponsored by Wiley (where I got to mingle with other Wiley authors and long-time friends like landing page guru Tim Ash ...
