SES San Jose 2006 - Tuesday

SEO Rockstars Live at the exhibit hall. I sat in with Greg and Todd for few minutes as well. 

Lines for the busses heading to the Google Dance.

I saw several Cuttlets sporting Matt Cutts fan shirts. Sure enough when I went to the "Meet the Engineers" area at the Google Dance, I found Matt surrounded by some Cuttletts. I asked Matt about the related command (similar pages) that changed a few weeks ago, and Matt said that only SEO's tend to use the similar pages function, and that the new formula would probably stay.  (I feel they're putting up a "broken" similar page function just like their "broken" backlink function). I also had a chat with an Adsense Engineer who was very polite but for most of my questions I asked he answered that he couldn't tell me the answers I was seeking (he knew, he just wasn't telling me the adsense tips I was seeking. (he was protecting their adsense payment formulas).

Somewhere in my journey I saw this whiteboard and quickly snapped this picture before moving on.
