July’s SEMpdx networking event promises to be a good one, as we try out a new venue. There’s no charge to attend this one, and no “education” beyond that which you’ll get from hobnobbing with the smartest internet marketers in Portland.

Where:
The Hop and Vine
1914 North Killingsworth Street
Portland, Oregon 97217

When:
Tuesday July 20 – 4:30pm to 6:30 pm

WordStream continues to add to their suite of free search marketing tools with The Free Negative Keyword Tool to help boost efficiency and ROI in paid search marketing

BOSTON, MA – June 22, 2010 – WordStream, Inc., a provider of keyword research tools for pay-per-click (PPC) and search engine optimization (SEO) efforts, today launched The Free Negative Keyword Tool, which is designed to quickly identify lists of highly-effective negative keywords for PPC advertisers.

I’ve now added the PubCon discount to the SEMpdx member discount page, and if you’ve never been to a Webmaster World PubCon event, it’s well worth attending.

Although many other conferences offer similar content and speakers, only PubCon is held in fabulous Las Vegas!

The thing I used to actually dislike about PubCon in Las Vegas was that everyone is so spread out, that it was hard to get people together, and hard to find the parties, afterparties, and the unsanctioned get-togethers.  In a smaller venue where everyone stays primarily in one or two hotels, it’s just easier.

As you may already know, the Online Marketing Summit 22 City Tour is about to kick off this week. Two new thought leaders have just been added to the long list of expert speakers; Jeff Hayzlett, CMO of Kodak and author of best-selling Mirror Test and Clara Shih, author of The Facebook Era.

Attention search engine marketers, web designers, developers, digital strategists, PR rockstars and social media mavens! The SEMpdx board would like you to join us for an evening of social networking!

When: Tuesday June 15th, 2010 at 5:30pm – 7:00pm
