3 Cents For Sex [Infographic]

Children should have the right to live a happy, healthy life. In some areas, a healthy and happy life is not possible. At an early age when American children are in school learning, Liberian children are often encouraged by their parents to work the streets for money. A better lifestyle is possible, but only if children have the opportunity to become educated. Check out this infographic to see the devastating effects of the lack of education in Liberia.

Searchlove: Upcoming Conferences and a Free Video

Posted: 23 Sep 2012 07:56 PM PDT

Posted by willcritchlow

The Distilled Searchlove conferences are coming up in London and Boston in just over a month. These PRO discounts are our deepest ever. The SEOmoz community gives us so much, and we love being able to give a little bit back.

90% of last year’s attendees said they’d attend again, and we've been putting loads of effort into making this year's conference even better. This year's conferences are planned to be the biggest and best yet. It's amazing to me that we can be responsible for great speakers like Richard Baxter getting presentation training (largely because I keep writing posts like this one and raising already-high expectations!).

I think this year’s speaker line-ups and schedules are some of the best we’ve ever put together - here is a small snapshot of what you can look forward to:

A few of the Boston speakers (see full schedule):

And a few more from London (see full schedule)

Searchlove London line-up

If you loved the full-length video of Wil Reynolds speaking at Mozcon and want to see him live, you'll be pleased to know he is speaking in London and Boston.

Mike King’s “Targeting Humans” talk

If you are getting withdrawal symptoms after watching 17 hours of Mozcon videos and want more to keep you going, I've got more great news for you: we're giving away a 45 minute HD video that normally costs $70 in our store for free.

Mike burst onto the speaking scene in style last year. He is one of the few people I know who has the guts to start an SEO talk dressed as MC Hammer and pull off a real live Hammer Dance. Add to that one of the highest-rated talks we’ve seen at our conferences, and you have a knockout punch of entertainment and educational value. Did I mention that Mike will be speaking at Boston?

Use the code MOZMIKEFREE to get the video for free:

Here’s how you get the 45-minute-long HD video completely free:

  • Copy the 100% discount code: MOZMIKEFREE
  • Head on over to our video store to get the video to stream or download completely free (no credit card required)

Things I'm looking forward to at Searchlove

I'm so excited to have a load of brilliant new speakers this year. Although some of the speakers are old friends, all of them are new to Searchlove:

Here are a few of the things I'm personally excited to learn from the new additions to our speaker line-ups, along with some links for you to check out in the meantime:

  • If you hang out on Hacker News, you will know Patrick McKenzie by his patio11 handle. I have been subscribed to his training videos by email since it launched, and I know I'm leaving money on the table by not implementing all his ideas. For a sneak preview, I encourage you to read about how he doubled the revenue growth rate of Server Density.
  • Dan Shapiro's amazing recent successes (go and read about how quickly a great faceted navigation can get you acquired) make him the perfect person to talk about manufacturing serendipity. It's amazing how much of an SEO's job these days relies on who you know, so I can't wait to hone my ability to make luck go my way.
  • I know you all know Jen. I'm so pleased she is going to be appearing for us in Boston. This whiteboard Friday on growing the value of your company twitter account is my go-to link for people looking for success in that area.
  • Have you ever seen Ian Lurie speak? Or read one of his posts (read: rants)? I personally like this one on time management. All of this makes me think I will have a lot to learn from his presentation on making better pitches and proposals.
  • Although we get a lot of attendees in London from across Europe (and a few from further afield), we have done relatively little on international SEO. We're remedying that with the multi-lingual Lisa Myers. I want to learn what I don't know from a true European.

Because we're bringing on such an array of new talent, there are many surprises in store. The most exciting unknowns for me include:

  • Justin Briggs (who used to work for Distilled) isn't new to Searchlove - he's rocked Boston for us in the past - but I want to see what he makes of London. We're responsible for him getting his passport...
  • I have no idea what Rand has up his sleeve for the head to head ("inbound marketing on a shoestring") - I have some fun ideas of where I'm going, but I'm looking forward to seeing the direction he will take.

In summary, I want you to come

One Final Flight Over America

Last Wednesday morning, Space Shuttle Endeavour began its final flight atop a jumbo jet at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. For three days, the shuttle rode piggyback to Los Angeles, California where it will begin its next mission as an educational display at the California Science Center.

Check out this photo gallery of Endeavor's final flight.

Seth's Blog : From general to specific (or vice versa)

From general to specific (or vice versa)

There's no doubt that it's easier to start an organization (or a project) around specific.

The more specific the better. When you have a handful of ideal potential clients and a solution that is customized and perfect for them, it's far easier to get started than when you offer everything to everyone.

Not only that, but the specific makes it easier to be remarkable, to overdeliver and to create conversations, because you know precisely what will delight the user.

Once you master your specific, you can do the work to become general, because you have cash flow and reputation and experience.

The flipside of this is interesting: if you have somehow, against all odds, managed to succeed in the general, the move to specific is almost effortless. If you can change your reflex action that consistently pushes you to mass, the market you've chosen will embrace the fact that you, the general one, are now truly focused on them, the specifics.
