SMX Advanced | SEOmoz | Black Hat vs White Hat
Oh no! Not another report from SMX Advanced in Seattle, June ‘08. Everyone else reported on the sessions and Amplify-Interactive has a very good detailed one! I have decided to report on the Expo Hall.


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.
