RevenueWire at Pub Con South 09

RevenueWire’s Summary of Pub Con Day 1

As the PubCon keynote speaker, Guy Kawasaki warmed-up the crowd to start off the day. He loves Twitter and quote unquote “being a top retweetist makes his day”! Guy raved about twitter stating that Twitter is one of the best marketing tools he’s ever seen. Regarding SEO, his main recommendation was simply… write good quality content! On the same note, he talked about content marketing as a powerful tool to attract traffic but keeping in mind that it will soon be a very competitive space due to the fact that there is finite good content. Guy Kawasaki’s presentation was engaging, informative and brought in a lot of his personal experience when is comes to social media, blogging and SEO.

The conference is on a small scale, something we anticipated before arriving here. All the classrooms have been full and the caliber of speakers have been relatively high. Also, it’s less crowded than some of the previous conferences we’ve already attended which gives it a bit more of a personalized feel. Speakers have also been very approachable following their presentations. The PubCon conference is divided in three separate tracks covering Organic Search Optimization, Search Marketing and Social and Halo Media.

We will be here the tomorrow, so tweet, email or come and find us at the conference on day 2.

We will be posting a comprehensive review of PubCon Austin in the next few days.
