SES San Jose 2007 Nuggets of Knowledge

26th August 2007

I’ve now gone through my Search Engine Strategies conference book, and pulled out the most relevant points that I had written down, with the thought of making a quick blog post called “SES Nuggets of Knowledge”.

I always like to do this because it gives me a quick refresher on the overwhelming amount of information I get after attending any conference, as I begin to apply what I’ve learned to my own website and to those of my clients.

My intention was simply to write a quick, short post, giving only the most salient information…

Several hours later, I completed my novel, and instead of posting it on my own blog, I decided to add it to the SEMpdx blog, since my association with them was so beneficial to my own visibility while I was in San Jose. I established some great relationships that might not have otherwise come to pass were it not for SEMpdx.

If you have a few minutes, (okay maybe a half hour), and you want to see what I found to be the most important things I learned specifically, at each session I attended, and then head over to the SEMpdx blog and read my post.

Oh, here’s one nugget that I left off that post. Do you know that there is a service that allows you to bypass airport security lines?  you can’t bypass the security check itself.  However, if you’re in the right airport and you have this “preclearance” card, and you can win is right by the entire line. How awesome is that? It’s only $100 a year (for each family member), and although it’s only in seven airports right now, its rapidly expanding throughout the country.

The two pieces of bad news for me are that #1, it’s not available yet in Portland, where I live, and #2, they don’t offer an affiliate program. After seeing it available in San Jose, I contacted the company when I returned home, and they’ve informed me that they don’t offer any sort of affiliate program, nor does it sound like they intend to. Wow, too bad for me

The company is called Clear and when it’s in Portland,  I’ll be first in line to pick one up…
