Daily SearchCast, May 7, 2007: Special Edition, SMX Advanced Preview

Danny was traveling on May 7 and so unable to do the usual Daily SearchCast. In its place, a podcast preview he's done about Search Engine Land's first conference, Search Marketing Expo Advanced, in Seattle this June 4th and 5th? You'll find the MP3 file here.

A few changes since the podcast was recorded. The debate on SEO  isn't happening. A new "You&A With Matt Cutts" session has been added. Also added is a new keynote with Microsoft search chief Satya Nadella, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft's newly-created Search & Advertising Platform Group. That will happen on the first day and be posted to the agenda shortly. Matt's session currently listed on the first day is moving to the second day.

Too busy to listen to the preview? Rand Fishkin of SEOmoz kindly interviewed Danny for the podcast, and he's posted a written summary of some key takeaways from his perspective.

Remember, today is the last day to save on the registration price for SMX Advanced. It increases tomorrow. So register to save and ensure you have a ticket for this limited capacity event.

To learn more about the show, check out the full agenda or see these special posts: 9 Reasons To Attend SMX Advanced and Networking Events At SMX Advanced.
