I went to A4U Expo @ London last year and thought it was great so when they announced they were holding an event in Amsterdam I decided to sign up.   Little over a month away now and been looking at some of the sessions and they look great.  Brief plan of what I’m planning to attend:

Day 1

09:30 – I went to the ‘SEO 101′ session in London last year and flet like leaving after 10 minutes so I’ll give this a miss this year and attend the conversion session by Tom Wesseling.

11:00 – The session at A4U London by WordPress SEO expert Joost de Valk was great and I could do with a refresh so will be attending this one.

12:30 – The extreme SEO panel is always a good laugh with loads of slagging off at the spammers at Money Expert.

14:00 – Conversions is something I’m really interested in at the moment so I’ll be attending the conversion session by Mark Simpson.

15:00 – As an SEO at heart I’ll probably be going to the SEO session by Dave Naylor.  He is entertaining to listen to and gives away quite a bit of info which is always good.

16:30 – Final session of the day will be the International Super Affiliate Panel.

I’ll have a look at day 2 in the next few days.

Been working on a few WordPress sites recently with has a generic WordPress template and one of the sites had those pesky footer links which are encrpted and supposedly therefore can’t be deleted.  As an SEO I really want to rid of those footer links as could get the site banned from Google by linking out to unrelated sites.  After a bit of searching came across this guide with a few simple steps to get rid of those WordPress footer links.  Sorted.

Bit late on the Twitter scene but my thought towards it has always been that Facebook does a good job already at status updates.  However I think it maybe a good tool to build a few relationships with other SEOs and others in the internet marketing space.  Therefore I’ve taken the plunge and signed up and we’ll see how it goes…..
