It’s such a hard call to make, when I’ve never been able to attend many of the one’s mentioned. Eventually I’d love to get to the Affiliate Summit which I’ve read so much about, but as of yet, I just haven’t been able to work that in.

Thanx sincerely, Davin

You really can’t compare those different events. For instance, the High Rankings Seminar is just soooooooo different than SES. They are both good in their own ways for what they offer. It really just depends on if you are looking for a search marketing conference or a search marketing seminars.

Big differences between conferences and seminars!

That is a tough call and I think SES is leading in your poll because it is the most popular (at present). From what I’ve read, Pubcon seems to be very informative as you and Stoney pointed out.

It will be interesting to see how SMX, which is billed as an “advanced” conference, will be received. There are indeed more and more smaller conferences and training seminars appearing everyday, a good sign that that SEO is here to stay for awhile.

You’ve been to quite a few of these and I’d be interested to hear your take on which was more “valuable”.

You’re right Stoney, such is the limitation of the polling plugin we’re using for this blog.

I agree, Pubcon is a great value and SES offers another perspective and set of networking opportunities.

That’s a hard questions to answer. Best for what? I thought PubCon was just about as good as SES and with the cheaper pricing it was the best conferene to bring my entire team to, but that doesn’t necessarily make it the best. It depends on what information you’re looking for.
