Search Engine Strategies is one of those industry events that draws a diverse crowd, representing a variety of verticals and job titles. Some concepts apply directly to niche marketers while others offer tremendous value across the entire industry.

Facebook, Facebook, Facebook! From breaking 500 million registered members to sort of breaking through the walled garden, to arguably breaking the trust of former FB evangelists, perhaps we should be unsurprised that the world’s largest social networking website is constantly making headlines. Comes with the territory of being #1, doesn’t it?… the publicity peppered with praise and sprinkled with scrutiny.  Zuckerberg & Co.’s pet project has transformed tremendously since its inception in 2004, and the game-changing mods they’ve rolled out over the last twelve months are solidifying Facebook’s place on the list of the most-talked-about technologies among the online marketing crowd.
Later this month at Search Engine Strategies San Francisco, aimClear’s Marty Weintraub will speak on the Killer Facebook Marketing: Do’s and Don’ts panel with Mark Rosenberg, Of Counsel, Sills Cummis & Gross P.C. and Dennis Yu, Chief Executive Officer, BlitzLocal. Under the moderation of Kate Kaye, Senior Editor, ClickZ News, the trio will discuss a variety of buzzing Facebook topics such as the “unprecedented capabilities in targeting and measurement” marketers have at their disposal as well as the “monitoring, privacy, and intellectual property issues” that have some folk in a tech-tizzy.
