SEOmoz CEO Rand Fishkin To Deliver 2009 Keynote
This year SMX Sydney is embracing SEO in a very big way and not just from a technical perspective. We are delving into the business case for SEO implementation. Have you ever tried to sell the idea of site optimisation to your CEO or CMO, only to be told that pay per click is a quicker way to score goals with search? Hard work isn’t it?
Our keynote on day one with SEOmoz CEO Rand Fishkin will be based around the concept of SEO for the CEO. This keynote presentation will give you all the ammo you need to get your SEO project approved and kick started, plus over two days we will have more than 30 tactical sessions to give you the technical knowledge to help you carry out a complete implementation and improve the ROI on your PPC.
