The conference has a seminar on Search Engine Marketing and a few people
have been asking us whether that's an ethical thing to do. Yes, there are
some so-called "black hat" search optimization consultants who promote
shady tactics that should be avoided. But there are many perfectly ethical
techniques to improve the visibility of your company in the search
engines, and those are the only ones covered in the seminar.
