I was lucky enough to talk at the inaugural Manyminds Give It A Go Conference last Friday which featured a wide range of speakers from across the SEO and digital marketing industry.
Today, Google announced that they are now rolling out their long anticipated penguin update which will now monitor links and various other spam signals in real time, meaning algorithmic penalties will be flying fast and hard.
Sun, sea, sand and search can only mean one thing, it’s time for BrightonSEO! Although we didn’t see much of the sun, didn’t go in the sea and briefly glanced at the sand, what we’re really here for is to enhance our SEO knowledge. For those that don’t know, starting out as a chat in a pub, BrightonSEO is now one of, if not the largest SEO conference in the UK. Here are my top three talks from the day:
