SEO Bash Ottawa wrapup

The Ottawa bash was a great success. We had about 20 folks attend for about 3 hours of presentations and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive!

After the presentations, about a 1/2 dozen of us went for a quick beer and to talk further about pay per click. The conversation continued out in the parking lot until about midnight at which point a cruiser drove by to see what we were doing. Apparently it was end of school year in the area and there was lots of underage drinkers out that night, requiring a constant police presence. On hearing that we were discussing websites, the fine folks in blue carried on.

It was interesting to note that the majority of folks attending were small business owners looking for tips to increase their own site’s rankings. By contrast the folks who attended the Toronto get together were affiliate heavy.

Special thanks to Jack at Assure-All Associates for providing us the conference room at no charge. They also scrambled and found us a projector to use after I realized (an hour into a 5 hour trip to get there) that I’d forgotten to bring one.

Next bash is yet to be determined. Keep an eye here and we’ll let you know when the next meet up is planned.
