Personal Search, User Intent – Questions to ask at the Extreme SEO Panel

With so many sessions available at the conference this year it’s often hard to choose which one to attend. To assist we’ll be interviewing some of our key speakers right here on our blog.

Today we start with the legend that is Marcus Tandler. A long standing friend of a4uexpo marcus always draws a crowd but on home territory he’ll also be joined by other battle axes of search from around the world.

1. What is your session covering and why is it important for our delegates?
The Extreme SEO Panel has always been one of the best sessions at any of the A4U events – and for a reason :-) … With SEO-Mastermind David Naylor, Bob Rains, Sistrix and Fantomaster and my humble self, we really got an incredible line-up this year, you sure don´t wanna miss!

2. What can delegates expect to learn? Why should they choose you? And what will be the key take aways?

Since it´s a panel session, it depends a lot on the questions people are asking, but all the panelists got a couple of nasty questions for the other panelists to spark up a conversation – and trust me, with these guys on a panel, I would expect some answers to be quite on the blackhat side :-)

3. During your session what question would you ask other panelists or yourself if you were in the audience?
I don´t wanna spoil anything, but I got a couple of questions I´m dying to get an opinion from the other panelists. Personal search and user intent will definetly be a topic of discussion!

4. If you had to pick one other session from the agenda, which one would you choose?
I´d choose the “Google Adsense Optimisation” session with Google´s Walter Palma, and my congenial business partner Niels Dörje, since both of these guys definetly know what they´re talking about when it comes to optimizing a website´s AdSense integration. And I think it´s a great fit for an affiliate conference, to have a session talking about optimizing your AdSense earnings!

5. As a speaker, you must attend many conferences – what’s your survival tip for a4uexpo?
The one tip I always give is to go out, meet people and network – the most interesting stuff isn’t necessarily covered in the sessions, it´s the private conversations you have with other attendees, while drinking a beer together :-)
