Top SEO’s “Give It Up” at SMX Advanced Seattle
Last month, the SMX Advanced Seattle or Search Marketing Expo gave us much to write about regarding the Expo and Search Optimization. We heard about Danny’s plans for future SMX conferences and we also heard how attendees compared SMX to SES Conferences, especially the food…
One interesting thing that needs mentioning is what happened at SMX Seattle.
Rumours surfaced that there was a mysterious meeting set up by Danny Sullivan where he made every attendee vow to a month of silence - No one was to publicly blog or discuss what was said until one month after it occurred. Anyone who broke the honor code would be banished from the land of optimization.
Well, it is now one month later and here are some of the interesting comments shared at this “gathering of the guru’s”.
Speakers sharing their SEO secrets were Matt Cutts, Jennifer Slegg, Mike Grehan, Mikkel deMib Svendsen, Todd Friesen, Greg Boser, Bruce Clay, Stephan Spencer, and Jill Whalen.
I am not going to give the details here, so here are some write-ups on this “secret SEO meeting”:
From the Bruce Clay Blog - The Top SEOs ‘Give it Up’ In Seattle for SMX
From Search Engine Roundtable - Give It Up at Search Marketing Expo
From Marketing Pilgrim - SMX Notes - Give It Up!
From from Search Engine Watch - Did They Really “Give It Up”?

I will update this post should more posts be published by any of the attendees.
