Agenda* - Tuesday, June 3
7:30am - 9:00am	Registration
8:00am	Exhibit Hall Opens
9:00am - 10:30am	Attendees may choose to attend one of the two sessions offered during this time. Introduction To Search Engine Marketing Who are the major search engines? How can their editorial listings send you "natural" or "organic" traffic from them for free through "search engine PR" or "search engine optimisation" efforts? How can you purchase top rankings or placement through "search engine advertising" opportunities? This must-attend session for beginners provides an overview of key concepts. Danny Sullivan, Editor, SearchEngineWatch.com Paid Inclusion & Trusted Feeds Why pay to be included in a search engine's listings without a guarantee of ranking well for particular terms? Done right, the more representation a site has in a search engine, the more likely it is to "naturally" rank well for a variety of targeted terms. That can mean highly-qualified traffic at a price less than obtained through paid placement programs. Come get an overview of paid inclusion, learn how "trusted feeds" allow you to send a data stream to search engines, hear advice from those who've used various programs offered and pose questions to paid inclusion vendors during Q&A.; Moderator: Chris Sherman, Associate Editor, SearchEngineWatch.com and President, Searchwise Panelists: Stephen Baker, Vice President Search Marketing Services, Overture Dennis Buchheim, Director of Inktomi Search Marketing Solutions, Inktomi David Graham, Head of Business Development, Ask Jeeves Ian Hegerty, Technical Architect, AltaVista Barry Lloyd, CEO, MakeMe Top Tim Mayer, Vice President of Web Search Products, Overture Rob Pearson, Sales Director, LookSmart UK Guy Prince, UK General Manager, Decide Interactive David Turner, Director of European Operations, Position Tech
