Enjoying SMX München
I’m enjoying SMX with my colleagues Evert, Nina and Roy. The presentations went well, and the off-conference part was great too. Refined Labs, Thomas Bindl’s outfit, threw a great party yesterday evening, while launching their new bid management tool Refined Ads, which looked pretty damn good!
In Munich for SMX: jetzt geht’s loss!
We had a very fun time last night with my good buddy Marcus and his friends. We had the pleasure of meeting people like FridayNite, Sistrix, Jojo, Ron, inHouse SEO, Jens and four people of the German search quality team.

Next stop: SMX Stockholm
I’m now sitting in the airport lobby at Airport Weeze, a very small airport just about 30 minutes away from my home, waiting for my flight to Stockholm. After the great experience at A4UExpo last week, I’m very curious what this week will bring. One thing is for sure: I’m going to meet some very [...]
Conference schedule
I’ll be speaking at two conferences next week and the week after, and I’m really looking forward to both! The first one is A4UExpo in London next week, where I’ll be on an Extreme SEO Q&A panel.

Meta Keywords: why I don’t use them
There is one question about SEO which seems to be coming up time and time again, so let me answer it now and be done with it. Meta Keywords are useless. No search engine uses them for any real rankings. That is why by default, there is no meta keywords input field in my WordPress [...]
SMX West

Meta Description for Search & Social
Auto-generate your way to SEO success? Meta descriptions elements have many uses and can be constructed in several ways.
