There’s a fantastic search engine marketing conference in your future. In less than two weeks, the editors of Search Engine Land present Search Marketing Expo – SMX West in Silicon Valley at the Santa Clara Convention Center, March 2-4!

SMX West kicks off on March 2 with an exclusive: Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer’s first conversation with the search engine marketing community at an industry event, and his first keynote address since the Microsoft + Yahoo! deal was blessed by regulators. Search Engine Land editor-in-chief Danny Sullivan sits down with Steve to discuss implementation of the Microsoft/Yahoo relationship and Bing’s ambition to revolutionize search and search engine marketing.

Search Marketing Expo is pulling out all the stops when it comes to meeting the needs of in-house search marketers in Santa Clara March 2-5. Attend and you’ll leave with more than enough ideas, strategies and contacts to keep you ahead of the curve and connected with colleagues until next year.

The agenda is full of valuable SEM nuggets, so it’s difficult to say there is one “dream” agenda. It depends on the challenges you’re facing this year. I’ll preview the sessions I think most in-housers should attend and why. Check out the compete agenda here.

Monday, March 1st

SMX kicks off with the “SMX Meet & Greet” on Monday March 1st at 6pm. This is typically small and full of speakers. If there is a speaker you want to meet, this is the best place to do that. The night before the show, everyone’s on a “conference high” and ready to talk.

Tip #1: At the end of each day’s scheduled activities, the Hyatt bar will be full of search marketers. Come hang out. You’ll meet amazing people and get the best information!

Not everything that can be counted counts, and, not everything that counts can be counted.
- Albert Einstein

Einstein’s observation wasn’t intended to describe internet marketing, but it certainly applies! Truth is, many of us are bombarded with numbers and reports but can’t seem to get the actionable insights we need.

That’s where SMX West comes in – running March 2-5 in Silicon Valley. Aspiring conversion specialists will leave the conference equipped with tips and techniques to measure the metrics that really count. If measurement, analytics and conversions are important to you (and they should be), take a few minutes and review this Analytics & Conversion Dream Agenda.

Monday, March 1 – Pre-conference Event

Warm up for SMX West by joining the Monday evening “Meet & Greet” reception. Turn off your iPhones, Blackberries and NexusOnes, and be ready for some good old-fashion in-person networking from 6pm to 7:30pm.

Tuesday-Wednesday, March 2 & 3

Generating traffic to your website is what Tuesday and Wednesday are all about. After all, you have to have *something* to count before counting it. There are over 30 sessions to choose from on Monday and Tuesday, so spend the first two days getting up to speed on all of the SEO, paid search advertising, real time search and social media marketing topics that interest you. I recommend you attend sessions that interest you and ask very specific questions on how to measure the effectiveness of these channels.
