Awards, Conferences, & Interviews

Filed in Conferences/Educ., Interviews by Matt McGee on February 4, 2009 • 3 Comments

Whew. I forgot how much work went into the inaugural SEMMY Awards last year. Last night, putting together the announcements of 17 categorical winners — that was a mad dash to the end, checking who won, writing the posts, grabbing the screenshots of each ballot to show the vote percentages. Finally finished at around 1:00 […]

Two Quick Interviews

Filed in Interviews by Matt McGee on January 15, 2009 • 2 Comments

You thought I disappeared after Monday’s Trust post, but no such luck. 🙂 The past couple days have been spent on client work and SMX West work — I’m coordinating and moderating three sessions. Meanwhile, I did a couple short interviews recently that are now posted elsewhere. At the risk of being self-indulgent, here they […]

The sessions hadn’t even begun yet, so we’re talking more about the conference in general, SEO going more mainstream, and big picture stuff like that. Makes a nice complement to my Five Takeaways from SMX […]

I’m still enjoying an almost Internet-free vacation, but found a way to hop online from our current HQ and am really enjoying catching up on more than 1,200 unread blog posts in my Bloglines account. (Didya catch the sarcasm in that sentence?) Since Mother’s Day arrives in just a couple hours, and I’ll be spending […]

The SBS Interview: Brian Gil, Yahoo Local

Filed in Interviews, MY BEST POSTS, Reputation Mgmt. by Matt McGee on March 27, 2008

In the days after the SMX West conference last month, I recapped the “Local Search & Blended Results” session here on SBS, pointing out a comment from the Yahoo! speaker about the non-impact of reviews and ratings on the three local business listings that show up in Yahoo!’s Local Shortcut. Problem is, I got the […]
