Having attended Pubcon on previous occasions, I am again grateful for the opportunity to attend the show again this year in Las Vegas for Pubcon Vegas 2014. Pubcon has been named a Forbes must-attend conference and I have found that Pubcon is always a step above the rest. The event takes place from October 6-9th, 2014 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. I’ll be live blogging various sessions via twitter so be sure to check out my twitter handle at: @marketing_jive. Here are some of the items that I’m looking forward to during Pubcon 2014.

Our team was fortunate enough to attend BrightEdge’s annual conference, Share14. The conference was held in the heart of San Francisco, and featured new product announcements as well as guest appearances by the likes of Microsoft, Google, Adidas, 3M, and many more. Share14 focused on two core themes: the continued importance of content, and the state of the mobile revolution.

The 1990’s were undoubtedly eventful. Rachel from the hit series TV show Friends got engaged to Barry-who, let’s face it, is no Ross Geller, Ross and Carol conceived Ben, their adorable blond haired baby whom Monica concussed, and Joey and Chandler adopted a chick and a duck. I remember it vividly, sinking into the soft suede couch with my brothers and sisters eating all of the popcorn before I could even get a handful. Every day my siblings and I would fight for the remote- I mean really, it was like a scene from 300, we would scream kick and punch, but every Thursday at 8pm nobody said a word. It was our family ritual; after dinner my mom would make popcorn, not just the microwavable stuff, the stove made fluffy and buttery kind, my brothers would haul their duvet covers down the stairs so we could all keep warm, my Dad would handle the remote and all of the lights, and being the youngest my sister and I would snuggle up and keep the couch warm. Needless to say, Friends was quite the event in my family, as was television all over North America at this time.

The major differences between search and display advertising can be analyzed by looking at the variation in the user intent across the different channels.

Serving users different web experiences based on their location is not only acceptable, but desirable from an SEO perspective so long as this happens to cater to the user’s location. This type of content delivery is usually done on a country-level, where currencies, applicable taxes and laws can vary. Conversely, providing multiple site-wide experiences with drastic changes to available content within one country for the purpose of usability testing can be a cause for concern. Although IP based content delivery for the purposes of website usability testing may not hurt the site at all from an SEO perspective, there are associated risks that could include ranking demotion or being removed from Google’s index altogether, due to the following:
