Ad:Tech San Francisco ’07 Coverage Recap

I’m back, and this time for more than a week at a time. Huzzah!

Hopefully, you got a little something out of our Ad:Tech coverage last week. We covered 17 sessions for SES NY and now another 17 sessions for Ad:Tech San Francisco. Someone is going to start having nightmares about the number 17 and that person is me. But I’ll save my issues for my therapist. Instead, you get all the sessions we covered in a somewhat organized fashion.

Bonus Riddle: How many search engine optimization legends and well-groomed SEO analysts does it take to open the gas panel on a rental car?

Can’t figure it out? It’s a trick question.

The real answer is neither Bruce Clay the SEO legend nor Robert Esparza the highly-groomed SEO analyst will be able to figure out it. One will spend 15 minutes inside the car looking for the lever, while the other furiously digs through the users manual. Only the snarky blogger will have enough common sense to walk around the side of the car and open it herself.

(Don’t fire me, Bruce. It was funny.)
