My Golden Ticket to SMX Advanced

SMX Advanced in Seattle was the one conference I knew I couldn’t miss this year. I was all geared up and counting down on my calendar. Then all of a sudden, I was traveling all of May, and the next thing I know, all the tickets had sold out. Crap.

In the meantime, I’m in the UK just when SMX Advanced London was kicking off. Only, I didn’t realize until people were tweeting from the show… My bad for not paying more attention. 

But no worries. I know a few people and surely they would have a spare Seattle ticket they could donate… that idea soon fell into the toilet. 

I didn’t think it was going to happen, and I had just about given up all hope.

Then Click2Rank came to the rescue. They were running a big damn blog contest for a chance to win a ticket to… SMX Advanced in Seattle. Even more amazing, is I somehow managed to win the ticket (thanks to the lovely people who shared and commented on my Mind the Gap! blog post). What are the odds? I felt like Charlie Bucket!

Here’s the sessions I plan on attending:

• The New Periodic Table of SEO
• SEO and Competitive Intelligence
• Human vs. Machine: What’s the Best Way to Manage Paid Search?
• Tough Love: Link Building for the Real World
• You&A with Matt Cutts
• Confluence of Social Data and Search

Thanks again to Click2Rank. Lots of good learnings and posts to come.

Hope to see you there!
