All about the intersection of search engine & social media marketing, optimization and online public relations.
The sponsored lunch today at Search Insider Summit comes from Microsoft adCenter which included a demo of their new Keyword Services Platform and add-in to Excel 2007.
Stacy Harris:
Feedback from marketers is that traffic is good, but they want more of it. Marketers also want AdCenter to be easier to use.
Natala Menezes is up next and promptly announces Stacy was engaged last night!
Key points for current and future development of adCenter: Quality, Transparency and Simplicity.
When I attend or speak at conferences, I always, like to visit the exhibit areas to see how they’re laid out, scope out which search marketing agencies are exhibiting and to visit friends from other companies and search engines. While checking out the Interactive exhibit hall here at DMA06, I noticed a few things:
There were hardly any search marketing agencies. Kevin Lee was there with Did-It and I believe I saw iCrossing. That was it. Apparently SEOInc had a booth in the other monstrous Exhibit hall that was made up of list brokers, direct mail companies,etc.
I have to say, when I walked into the exhibit hall this am for a quick look, I was impressed! Lots of space and lots of exhibitors. Incisive Media has done a bang up job. Here are a few candids:
Google Booth
Yahoo Booth
Ask.com Booth
Daron Babin and Greg Hartnet
SEMPO Booth
Mick Jolly and David McInnis of PRWeb
Fionn Downhill and a co-worker from Elixr Systems
