CTO, PHP Programmer, Affiliate Marketer & IT Consultant
The Saturday before Affiliate Summit, I attended Sugarrae‘s SEO training, held at the Hilton.
Rae Hoffman-Dolan, aka Sugarrae, is a well-known SEO and Affiliate Marketer. Her SEO training piggy-backed on Affiliate Summit, and was an additional registration fee ($800, when I booked). What was I hoping to get for $800?
I’m going to have session recaps up over the next few days, but I wanted to write a general recap of my recent trip to Affiliate Summit East 2011 held in New York City August 21-23.
I attended as three roles: affiliate, speaker, and press (blogger)
Inspired by a Tweet by Tom Critchlow
Ok, time for me to feel smug. Managed to get rel author markup working and appearing in SERPs for my tumblr site:http://t.co/6jsVAwJ
I decided to attempt to do the same thing with my own blog (EricNagel.com), which runs on Thesis.
I read the other day, It would make life so much easier if Google had a paid rank checker API
. Google might not have one, but Raven Tools does
Raven Tools no longer supplies SERP rank data. Use Microsite Masters instead

Not many people know this, but Raven Tools has an API.
It’s hard to write a session recap on the SEO Site Review/Clinic, because site owners submit their sites to the panel (Rae Hoffman-Dolan, Michael Gray, Kenny Hyder, and Michael Streko) and the critique is done on-the-fly with most of the content specific to the site owner. However, there are some useful tips you can get that can be applied to other sites.
