We really did mean to post this sooner. Yes, I know, we’re bad bad marketing people, not practicing what we preach. We’re sorry. Really!

Now that I’ve shown you how sufficiently contrite we are, let’s talk about our experience at Search Engine Strategies 2009 in New York city.

By the way, did I mention that I’d never seen New York before?

Me. New York. First visit ever. We decided to walk from the train station. Needless to say I spent most of that walk staring at all of the famous things with an expression like that of a stunned mullet. It took us a little bit longer to get to the conference than it should have. In fact, we missed Guy Kawasaki’s keynote speech. Oops?

But, having said that, we actually made it to the conference in one piece (20 blocks later) and we had a good time. The show room floor was packed, much like New York rush hour (which I managed to avoid seeing). While the majority of vendors on the show floor were Pay Per Click companies, there were a few gems here and there, and of course we got to fill our pockets with all of the free stuff they were giving away.

All in all we had a good time, learned a great deal, and made it home in one piece.

More to follow on what we found there…
