NOTATIONS GUIDE

4 STAR RATED sessions are those that were evaluated well by attendees at previous conferences.

NEW! are sessions not previously held at Search Engine Strategies.

NEW FORMAT are sessions previously held but which have a new format or other changes.

FOCUS: Search engines have both "organic listings" that are generally free in nature and "paid listings." Sessions with an ORGANIC focus are designed for those who wish to do better in "natural" or "organic" listings. Sessions with a PAID focus deal especially with paid listings. Also see the Session Planner page for itineraries for those specific itineraries for sessions about organic or paid listings.

SKILL: BASIC sessions are especially suitable for those new to search engine marketing, though even advanced people might find them helpful. ADVANCED sessions are for those who already have some experience with search engine marketing. They are not designed for beginners. Also see the Session Planner page for itineraries for those specific itineraries for those who are basic versus advanced. ANY sessions are those suitable for any skill level. They generally feature some introductory presentations, with more advanced topics covered during Q&A.;
