Glad you liked the coverage Ash. This was one of many sessions I attended at SESSF that I found truly high quality presentations and knowledge sharing at.

Alan, thanks for a great write-up. The speakers’ content was also excellent. Hope to see you at Pubcon.

I have seen Shari Thurow’s name for some years but this is the first time I have had some insight into her very logical thinking.

I am seeing Eleanor Hong’s name for the first time and her examples from ABCnews will be valuable to other large-scale SEOs who deal with such sites-within-sites. The quote “Each department will push their own agenda in a large organization” is so true – often, they aren’t aware of the user’s mental models.

I can’t speak for any of the others, but the sessions I attended were all great, and from what others have told me, they all feel the same.

Thanks for sharing, Alan! I’m happy that they talked about how information should not be organized by keywords, I still see so many people organizing their website by keywords they want to rank for and completely ignore the functionality of the site. Sounds like the conference was fantastic, jealous I couldn’t be there!

I don’t know about any of that Dana. I took on only three sessions today, and none the rest of the conference. So maybe it was a matter of going as fast as I could knowing that I could chill out after today. Either way, it was a fast-paced experience as always. And I thrive in it. For the limited liveblogging I do, anyhow…

Alan, are you now a Live Power Blogger, or would that be a Powered Liveblogger? How in the world did you capture all this and still have time to pee, smoke and get water and make it to the next session???

Excellent takeaways!
