Chicago. The Windy City.

I was under the impression that the nickname came from the weather, but according to Wikipedia, it may also come from the fact that politics is a sport in Chicago, and that there are a large number of windbag politicians that reside there.

So, I am going to join the windbags and speak at the TechCocktail CONFERENCE:

May 29, 2008 - 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST
Kasbeer Hall - Loyola University
Water Tower Campus
25 E. Pearson Street
Chicago, Illinois 60611

My topic? “SEO Has Grown Up: My Quest to be The #1 Douchebag on Google.”

I plan to discuss how SEO has moved past the standard blocking and tackling of on-page content, clean code and relevant links. Personal or corporate brand has become so interwoven into online reputation, that companies can no longer avoid branding as part of an SEO strategy.

Interesting? I hope so. Interested? Register here.

And, hopefully, I wont be adding to Chicago’s nickname much. (Although how cool would it be to say you saw a douchebag be a total windbag in the Windy City?)
