SMX West is coming to Santa Clara next week, Feb. 10-12. This was a great conference last year and it sounds like people are pretty excited about it again this time around. Danny Sullivan, John Battelle, and Vint Cerf are giving keynotes. I’ll be sitting on the Expert Technical Review panel at the end of the day. Webmasters will get a chance to get there site reviewed by panelists who will give feedback on potential improvements to be made if any.

I’ll be attending as many sessions as I can, and I enjoy meeting others in the industry. If you’re going, please find me and say hi!

Last week, I sat down with Tech Talk Radio to talk about blogs, feeds, and web spam. I was joined with my colleague Anindo – You can listen to the full two hour show or get the shorter podcast.

Tech Talk Radio is based out of Australia. They have Lidjia Davis based in the Silicon Valley for reporting and interviews. It was a pleasure meeting her, and getting the chance to sit and chat about some of the topics in the Google Search Quality world.

Attending SES San Jose

I’ll be at the Search Engine Strategies conference this week in San Jose. This will be my first time as a speaker (panelist, really) for Google, and I’m happy to get a chance to represent and help others if possible. I’ll be a panelist for the Site Clinic on Thursday at 10:15 am. Come by and say hi, ask questions, but take it easy on me, it’s my first time!

Looks like the schedule is packed with lots of good stuff, so I’m sure the conference will be another success. If you’re attending, be sure to make it to the Google Dance Tuesday night at 7 pm. I’ll also be hanging out at the Google Webmaster booth. Very friendly people with lots of good advice. I also hear there may be some pretty intense foosball matches being played. Swing by Tuesday and Wednesday in the Expo Hall, booth 530. I somehow got picked to represent Google (along with Jan from the Dublin office). I’m going to need to shake the rust off. :)

Obligatory Disclaimer

I’ve refrained from blogging about many things due to the fact that I work for Google. Anything even closely related to Google I wouldn’t even consider touching; I just didn’t want the added worry about posting potentially sensitive information. So to make things simple, I just didn’t do it.

Now that I’ve been around a while and have a few posts under my belt, you’ll probably be seeing some Google-related stuff here. You’ll also notice the obligatory disclaimer on the right side of the blog.
