Last week I spoke on two (yes, two) panels (at the same time) at the Pubcon conference held at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. I would to thank Brett Tabke and Webmasterworld for putting on yet another great conference.

I’d like to thank Lawrence Coburn for moderating, and Chris Winfield and Liana Evans for doing a great job with the “Social Media and Search” panel. I’m sorry I had to cut it short, but I had to speak on another panel. If you missed this panel I’ll be adding some additional notes about social media and search this week.

I’d like to also thank Jake Baillie for moderating, and Todd Malicoat and Andy Hagans for putting on a great show on the “Link Baiting – 96 Different Strategies” panel. There were a few questions from the audience during Q&A and if you missed the social network I talked about during “Q and A” it was Skirt. I also will be adding some more info about linkbaiting this week, so stay tuned.

It is always great to see old friends and make some new ones and learn a bunch of new tips and tricks. Yes, there are still plenty of tricks out there.

One of the most interesting tips I learned that I cannot possibly repeat too many times: add pics to your blog.

Well, here are a few “shout outs” that might as well be considered “shameless plugs” for people who deserve a link:
