Chitika Workshop: SearchAppalooza - Kick-Ass Apps Contest & Talking Search Beyond Google
This is your exclusive opportunity to attend, and join-in on this heated face-off of the biggest movers and shakers in search--come talk tech with the innovators and industry execs who are leading search marketing into new terrains beyond THE search engine. Five of today's most outside-the-box-thinking/market-defining innovators (reviewed and pre-selected by our experts) will present their respective "kick-ass search apps" to the SearchAppalooza expert panel—including thought-leaders from Yahoo! and Microsoft, MediaContacts, Jennifer Slegg ("JenSense"), and the workshop audience (you), for critical review and feedback. Think of it this way- American Idol for developers.

It's survival of the slickest-apps—we invite you all to join Chitika and our panel experts to delve out ruthless, zany, stomp-on-the-box critique, all in the name of search beyond Google. All SearchAppalooza workshop attendees will be entered to win an Amazon Kindle2.

In the spirit of search re-targeting, this session will also host Chitika's near-legendary, Third-Annual "Cookie Eating Contest". All attendees are invited to participate and cookie themselves to new extremes; the winner will receive HP Mini Netbook and publicity. Check SearchAppalooza updates at chitika.com/searchappalooza, or follow on twitter: sesnychitika. Don't forget to stop by Chitika's SES booth #230 and meet "Hooty" the six foot owl.

Google Workshop: Preview the New AdWords Interface

Google believes in releasing new products and features early and often, and a few months ago we began testing a new interface for AdWords intended to make campaign management faster, clearer, and more intuitive. The set of features included in the new interface has grown substantially since our initial announcement. Now we'd like to invite you to preview the new AdWords interface live at SES and tell us what you think!

Ariel Bardin and Angela Lai, AdWords product and engineering leads, will take you on a tour of the new interface, showcasing new features and demonstrating how the new interface can make day-to-day campaign management more efficient. We'll close with an extended Q&A; where you can share your feedback and ideas directly with the AdWords team. Finally, all session attendees will receive priority access to the new interface, so be sure to bring your AdWords Customer ID.

Google Workshop: Maximizing Your Website's ROI

Your business probably spends a tremendous amount of time, resources, and capital on your website development and online advertising initiatives. Yet, for many organizations, the most challenging aspect is to retain visitors and convert them into buyers. Google's web search engine has set a high bar for relevance, speed, and ease of use. Unfortunately, most sites don't meet these high expectations: 85 percent of site searches don't return what the user sought, and 80 percent of visitors will abandon a site if search functionality is poor (Jupiter Research).

To help maximize ROI, Google offers a variety of tools that website owners can leverage to. Join Google at this informative session to learn how you can better utilize Google Site Search to maximize the return on your website investment.
