Speaking at A4U Expo London

Category:speaking Tags : 

Next week its A4U Expo in London. A4U Expo is probably one of the best organized events in Europe, if not in the world. The Expo is organized by Matthew Wood and his team. The event is special, amongst other things because it brings together affiliates and search marketers. This unique combination is a guarantee for learning a lot.

I am going to be one of the speakers at A4U London this year. In the session "You want to Tweet What!? – Social Media, Twitter and Affiliate Marketing" I’ll be speaking about brand building by using social media. In the past year Searchcowboys has gone from virtually unknown to a very well known brand in the industry. I’ll be telling how I did this using social media. With that I’ll try to ‘learn’ the audience how they could be doing their brand building via social media. It’s gonna be a very interesting session!

If you want a last minute chance to see my presentation live (before I put it on slideshare next week) at A4UExpo you can now book with a 10% discount at A4UExpo by using the code "SPKD10" or "COWBOYS10". Be sure to do so!

Looking for European Search Websites

Category:search Tags : 

SearchcowboysAs my loyal readers will know I am a fanatic blogger for Dutch Cowboys. And I also sometimes post a message on MobileCowboys and SearchCowboys…

Some ‘insiders’ know that my involvement with Dutch Cowboys is a little bit more than just blogging. I sometimes do some project management for the websites. And my involvement will only grow. I’m going to play a big part in the new version of SearchCowboys.

The current site will dissapear in this format. Instead we will develop a European SearchCowboys. An website written in English looking at search marketing with a focus on the European Market.

And I will play a big part in it… What kind of part? In any case the part of blogger and a little bit more.. I will get back on that in the coming weeks. For now I’m looking for your help. When I start blogging on www.searchcowboys.com I will need sources. I want to know what’s going on in the European Search Market.
