How Can SEOs Avoid More Trademark Trouble? — SEM Synergy Extras

fail stamp

Today is SEM Synergy’s 100th episode anniversary and we celebrated live on the air! It was exhilarating and exciting and rewarding and fun and people were hanging in the chat room and Bruce was answering questions on air and people called in to the show and there was so much love going around I think I’m still on cloud nine!

Breathe, Virginia…

Seriously, thanks to friends and listeners for all the kudos and support, and thanks for listening to the show because that’s what makes it worth doing!

If you tuned in to the show today, you heard Bruce, Susan and I talking about how Rhea Drysdale (who you may know as co-founder of Outspoken Media or from her frequent SEM conference speaking gigs or as next week’s SEM Synergy guest!) defended “SEO” from being trademarked.

100 Episodes of SEM Synergy!

SEM Synergy this week will be live, and Bruce Clay will be talking to callers and answering questions on the show! People that hang out in the WebmasterRadio.FM chat room during SEM Synergy each week (and really, why aren’t you there?) know that I’m asked “Is this live?” about once per episode. How excited am I to be able to say “YES!” this time around?!

SEM Synergy, our weekly radio show and podcast here at BCI, is actually going live for a very special reason: our 100th episode! (Pay no attention to the episode count on iTunes. It’s a little thrown off because the episode from SES San Jose 2008 was eaten alive by technical issues…)

Friday Recap: Pop-Up Video Edition

screen shot from SEO interview video

Are you in the mood for some videos? My collection of odds and ends from surveying the Web this week came up heavy on the videos. Nevermind the stats that people have been viewing fewer videos online lately, according to comScore. I bet we can edge that number back up with this blog post alone! :P

At SMX West last week, Jennifer Lopez of SEOmoz and Dana Lookadoo of Yo! Yo! SEO interviewed a handful of attendees with a series of five questions. I was honored to be asked to join in, though completely petrified at the prospect of being stumped on camera. Note the visible sigh of relief as I answer each question. Otherwise, it’s super entertaining to hear these notable Internet marketers’ answers!

SES New York 2010 Liveblog Coverage

Look out, Big Apple. Search Engine Strategies is coming to town. As always, Bruce Clay, Inc. will be there with blue shirts and plenty of knowledge to share. We’ve got a bunch of ways to do that this year. First up, on Monday, start the conference off right with SEO training. It’s an all-day class taught by Bruce and you get to take home a copy of the book I spent a year of my life on, SEO for Dummies All in One.

At the conference itself, you can visit our booth (#1217) or you can catch one of Bruce’s three speaking opportunities. I’m thinking the White Hat, Black Hat: Unconferenced session at the bar is going to be unmissable.

As for me? I’m liveblogging this time around and you’ll find my schedule below. Use it wisely to plan treats, bribes and icepacks for my hands.
