Interview with Tim Ash, SiteTuners' Testing and Conversion Expert

Tim Ash, CEO of SiteTuners, Godfather of Conversion TestingAn introduction?  That could be tough, how can I possibly do justice to Tim Ash?  If you’ve seen this man talk at a conference or show before, you know the energy and charisma that comes off him is like a lightning bolt to the frontal cortex.  There’s a reason he’s usually got a solo act at every Search Engine Strategies show, if not two or three appearances.  SES San Jose next month will be no different, and with the news that he’s shared with me in this interview, his session should not be missed.

Free webcast: Integrating Social Media into Business Strategy

As a precursor to SES San Jose, Charlene Li, author of “Groundswell” and keynote speaker at the upcoming show and Matt McGowan of Search Engine Strategies will be offering a free webcast entitled “How to Integrate social media into your business strategy”.  If attending sessions at Search Engine Strategies in Toronto two weeks ago taught me anything, it’s that most businesses don’t “get” social media… at all.  So I expect everyone to sign up for the free webcast, which is scheduled for Wednesday July 8th at 1PM EST/10AM PST.  Click here to register.

If you haven’t already done so, sign up for the main event of all search marketing shows, SES San Jose 2009 right now.  I’ve been to New York, Toronto, and San Jose last year, and although all have their respective merits and local experts that can teach you a ton of tactics and valuable insights, SAN JOSE is the place to be.  If you go to one show and one show only, go to SES San Jose.  Okay, enough with the shameless, albeit honest, plugs for SES.
