Win a ticket for SES Hamburg!
So SES Hamburg is close, very close, and if you haven't bought a ticket yet, you can win one here! There are three reasons, according to Matt McGowan, to come to SES:
- Constructive feedback on how to improve your website's visibility in the Search Engines - more relevant traffic, more sales
- Immediate feedback on how to improve your website's look and feel, resulting in improved usability and increased traffic levels - more conversions and sales
- New case studies, new interactive sessions with a longer Q&A, new speakers - same focus on education!
Now these are fine reasons, but they're a tad bit boring too... So: if you come up with three better reasons to come to SES Hamburg, you'll have owed yourself a free full entrance pass! Judges will be Matt McGowan, Marcus Tandler and myself. To enter, just drop your three reasons in the comments!

Maybe because on june 23 and 24 there are no Euro 2008 matches? (SES Hamburg is just in between the group fase and semi finals, good planning)
by Eduard Blacquière on 6 June, 2008 at 15:10
1. To get to know a lot of interesting people
2. To see why SES is still a world leading Search conference
3. To hear that paid links still work

1, 2 and 3. After my wive left me, after my house exploded while cooking some (still) canned carrots, after I parked my car 'round a 300 years old, after Greenpeace sues me for ruining the tree, after I sued myself for forgetting to insure my car, ...
Yeah, I do need a few days off...

Joost, that was pretty lame what you did, erasing my comment for no reason. Sorry. You just got off my reader. Have a good life.

2. I lost in the limerick competition for a SES Hamburg ticket there
3. I don't want to loose to again and become the SEO Ticketlooser of the year... And of course I want to meet you guys and attend some very good sessions
by Axel on 12 June, 2008 at 19:48
1. To read (or better listen) between the lines to learn more about the REAL stuff.
2. Hanging out with SEOs allways is special.
3. Does it need any more reasons?
by Chriscind on 16 June, 2008 at 01:09
Oh, I love such "tell me your inner wishes" - topics!
1. First of all, to improve my very bad english by talking a lot with some super-multilingual seo's (yes, swabians see the bavarian as a foreign language) and learnig much about the "real thing"!
2. I've read a lot (Joost), I've heard a lot (Marcus), but I've never skoal(ed) with one of you!
3. Last week some fools stole my bag with notebook and many of my unsecured datas - an the only thing I've won ever was a barmy umbrella - well, I badly need some hapiness!
Cheers, Chris

I need to get to a SES pronto:
1. First reason , well.... have you seen my website? Its like an omelette of HTMl code, I´m sick of having egg on my face - I need some SEO know how now!
2. Second reason to get to Hamburg SES : I´ve heard the German Sausage is something particularly disgusting and will film a "fear factor" video to post here later! Contestants welcome and I´ll provide the Sauerkraut, Meaty dish and Beer
3. Finally, At some time in my life I actually have to move away from the computer and meet people, I have been a lurker long enough. Hamburg can be my transformation from geek to sleek-geek!
Summary: Bad omellete will take German sausage challenge to metamorphosize into a Hip SEO Socilaite!
