The SearchFest 2007 search marketing conference that took place in Portland last week seems to have come off as a great success. I've been spotting some posts by speakers and attendees over the last day or so and everyone seems to have had a great time and to have shared a lot of great information. In fact, attendance was estimated at being between 250 and 300 people, pretty impressive for a first time event.

While I was unable to attend as a speaker due to those two little munchins that have soaked up a lot of my free time, my friends Matt McGee and Stoney deGeyter both spoke and blogged about the event. You can read Matt's thoughts at his blog and can check out SearchFest 2007 photos of the event at Flickr. Stoney has his write-up over at the E-Marketing Performance blog and Rand has a pretty comprehensive write-up over at SEOMoz.
