SEO Ranking Factors In 2010 – How much does that H1 tag really matter, versus the number of links pointing at a domain? Do "authority" sites always have an advantage over other sites with less reputation? Is brand recognition now a bigger issue? Do time-honoured SEO techniques work now that search results are personalised, or have real-time results in the mix? This session looks at on-the-page and off-the-page factors that influence web search, to understand what remains useful, what no longer works, and what new signals are growing in importance.

Leveraging Digital Assets For Maximum SEO Impact – When Google introduced Universal Search in 2007, it sent shockwaves through the search marketing community. The typical reaction: "How can my optimised content rank when local, news, video and images results are pushing it off the SERPs?" The simple answer is to optimise multiple types of "web assets" in addition to the text on your web pages, and you’ll often get more exposure on search result pages. Though the answer is simple, the SEO techniques to achieve the desired result usually aren’t. This session looks at the state of universal search today, and how to leverage different types of content to gain maximum advantage.

Search Ad Quality, Under The Microscope – Both Google and Bing measure the "quality" of ads and landing pages, and use these rankings to influence both display position and cost per click. Yet quality scoring algorithms remain a mystery to many marketers. In this session panelists will get so close with Google and Bing’s often opaque quality score factors that it hurts. Learn the current thinking on ad quality assessments and how to use these rankings to maximum advantage.
