No Black Hats SEOPDX White Hat of Gary Pool
As I walked through the paths in the expo hall during the rush of the lunch break I couldn’t help but wonder “what goes on at these booths while we are supposed to be learning all these black hat techniques?” I actually made my way through each and every booth. The booth that was the most active always seemed to be the SEOmoz booth.
