Blogworld Session Summaries: New Media, SEO for Blogs

Thursday, November 8th, 2007;
-- Andy Beal |

The opening day for Blogworld was a great success. While aimed mostly at corporate attendees–the real geeks get here today–there was still enough of a buzz surrounding the inaugural conference.

I spoke on two different panels.

The first looked at SEO for blogs, and I was joined by Vanessa Fox, Stephen Spencer, and Aaron Wall. WebProNews was there filming the session and they put together a video summary for you to enjoy.

I also joined a great panel of social media marketers–Paul Dunay, Paul Gillin. Tom Gerace, Maggie Fox–to discuss how companies can integrate social media with their normal marketing efforts.

K T Cat took excellent notes of the panel if you’d like a recap.

I got to meet a number of great bloggers for the first time–including Dave Taylor, Jim Kukral, Brian Solis, Andy Wibbels, and many more!

Now if you’ll excuse me, the exhibit hall opens today. Dozens of companies with cool blogging toys! Christmas has come early!

    @Zen - yeah the geek factor (of which I contribute to) went way up. Attendee numbers went from 100 to 1500.

    @K T Cat - thanks for taking the notes - love the name of your blog! :-)

    Andy, it was great to meet you finally. I enjoyed having lunch next to you and your wife on the “geek” day. As we touched on, it was an impressive first show. They obviously hired organizing staff with much experience. Other long running conferences have more (non-human) glitches.
