Recognition of one’s talents is pretty cool. Recognition of the talents of a team is even cooler. Over the coming weeks, the folks here at Metamend are going to be feeling pretty cool as we are sending speakers to two of the premier search marketing conferences, Search Marketing Expo (SMX Advanced) in Seattle and Search Engine Strategies Toronto.

Colin Cochrane is quite possibly one of the most talented technical SEOs in the business. On June 4 at 10:45am, Colin will be part of the SMX Advanced Developer Day session:

Platform Considerations for the Microsoft Stack and LAMP Stack – Practical tips, tricks and workarounds for search-friendly architecture.

• Microsoft Stack
  - Including IIS, ASP.Net, Silverlight, Microsoft SQL Server
• LAMP Stack
  - Including Apache, PHP, Ruby, Flash/Flex, mySQL
• CMS Considerations (such as .NET Blog Engine, AxCMS, Wordpress, Movable Type, Drupal, Joomla)

This is the stuff extremely technical SEOs think about. The conversation isn’t really that difficult to understand once one gets past the techno-jargon acronyms. The panel will be discussing the optimal ways to set up servers and unique applications, add-ons and enablers (e.g.: various blog platforms, online content management applications, server-side includes, etc…).
