I’m sitting in the audience at the Expert Technical Review Of Your Website session at SMX Advanced in Seattle. Most people are attending the Give It Up! session where some of the big names in the SEO industry are spilling their guts on some of their industry secrets. Those of us who are attending this website review session, however, are being treated to a live SEO analysis of sites submitted by the audience by moderator Vanessa Fox (Features Editor, Search Engine Land) and panelists Nathan Buggia (Lead Program Manager, Microsoft), Evan Roseman (Software Engineer, Google)
Mohit Srivastava (Co-Founder, Faves.com), Derrick Wheeler (Senior SEO Architect, Microsoft.com, Microsoft).

Falling in with the prevailing theme of Developer Day, the advice is not in the form of search engine manipulation, nor high-risk SEO tactics, but rather is a focus on ensuring sites have a solid underlying architecture with a logical linking structure, clean markup, and quality content.
