At marketing conferences readers of Online Marketing Blog mention to me frequently about the photo roundup posts we do as favorites. We certainly like to make those posts and since readers like to see them, here is a collection of favorite candids taken during SES San Jose.

Kevin Ryan, Misty Locke, Kevin Newcomb

Danny Sullivan, Matt Cutts, Kristina Mangers

Jeremy Shoe (SEO sucks) money
and Brent Csutoras

Jill Whalen, Patricia Hursh, Christine Churchill

Matt Cutts & Michael Gray

John Diorio, Bryan Eisenberg

Dave Temple, Greg Jarboe, Andy Beal

Jessica Cameron-Ruud, Ashley Bruce
Thomas McMahon, Dana Larson

Todd Friesen, Brett Crosby

Chris Boggs, Rebecca Lieb (crop)

Roger Akers and Mike McDonald

Patrick Sexton, Lisa Barone

Of course, a good photo wrap up would be amiss without fun photos of Kevin Ryan and Danny Sullivan from the Google Dance. Any suggestions on good captions?

The SEO Rehab & Intervention was a great session oh how we are all addicted to something in our industry. Granted it was a bit of an un-structed session, but that’s what made it entertaining. The discussion flowed from chocolate cake to Twitter and SEO.

Here are a few good tips:

• Spend your time on what your doing next. Things change, so should you.
• Why check your page rank daily when it changes quarterly?
• When page rank does change, and if yours goes down, check the sites in your industry. Did they all go down? If so, stop panicking.
• Other time wasters include checking rankings, backlinks and pages indexed constantly.
• Feed your addition with tools that will do the checking for you. Then you can get a quick overview.
• Look at overall trending. If your links go down one month, is it going down month over month? What’s the trend?

Also, here is the SEO (Sanity Escaped Organically) 12 step program:

1. Take care in choosing KPIs. Don’t rely on rankings.
2. Set realistic objectives
3. Employ people who know what they are doing.
4. Build your website for seo from the bottom up.
5. Only work on projects which deserve to rank.
6. Only work on projects where there is a market.
7. Be different - ideally unique - in the market place.
8. Get Good Training
9. Understand the mechanics
10. Don’t try to be an expert in every SEO technique. Focus on your strength.
11. Be Patient
12. Enjoy your addiction.

It was an interesting session with not a lot of takeaways, but a lot of fun none the less.
