I'll be heading to San Jose, California next week for Incisive Media's Search Engine Strategies conference. (Along with most of the rest of the industry.) This time around, Search Engine Guide's publisher, the elusive Robert Clough is headed out there as well. I know, I know, I'm as shocked as you are.

This will actually be the first time in the more than four years that I've known Robert that I've ever met (or even seen) him. Search Engine Guide bloggers Liana Evans, Debra Mastaler, Stoney deGeyter, David Wallace, Manoj Jasra and Diane Aull are all attending, as are Chris Logan and Matt McGee from the Small Business Ideas forum. Liana, Debra, David, Matt and I are all speaking as well.

Debra Mastaler and I are each teaching half day training classes on Friday after the show. Debra will be covering "Link Building Tactics, Tools & Techniques" and I'll be teaching "Viral Marketing and Link Baiting." Debra and I each have a couple of spots left in our classes if you were thinking of signing up.

Headed out to San jose yourself? Be sure to track down Robert or I to say hello. (And be nice to Robert, we're hoping he'll go to more shows after this one.) Not able to attend the show? Tune in to Search Engine Roundtable for full coverage of nearly every session.
