Recovering from SES

August 15, 2005

in Google/SEO

SES was a ton of fun. One of my favorite parts of webmaster conferences is just talking to people, answering questions, and getting feedback. Another fun moment was after the “Pimp my site” session when Danny Sullivan donned a delightful hat, artfully reproduced here: Danny Sullivan stylin'. You go, Danny! Now I have to start digging through the feedback I got and my backlog of email. I love SES and WMW conferences, but it’s gonna take me a few days to get back on top of things.

I think your Danny Sullivan Pimp pictures turned out about the same as mine. I was going for a good one but didn’t succeed.

Oh, that’s brilliant! I didn’t know that Danny donned the Pimp Hat. :)

Gotta love Danny! Memo – If you are wearing a pimp hat, you can loosen the tie!

Hey Danny is the head pimp…. the search industry is a form of pimping…. SEW has been sold twice – should have been a bunch more if he wants to win pimp honors at the Playas Ball (or in this case the Google Dance)

I think the best quote from that session came out something like this (from Dax): “You can’t find the sweetest corner to pimp unless you are ready to cross a few streets”! – wich naturally lead to the question: Is pimp hats black? :)
