I think the idea is very good. SEO Think Tank should receive excellent.
July 31, 2008 at 4:25 am
And why not? The spectacle moving progress.
July 31, 2008 at 12:16 am
What an idea!!! conference, MMA, and the beach… bring it on!
July 30, 2008 at 10:42 pm
excellent idea to mix up something different
July 30, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Shawn Tompkins is cool. He’s training Kimbo these days
July 30, 2008 at 10:03 pm
This should be interesting, how they tie the two together. I can’t attend but I can’t wait to hear about it either.
July 30, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Ha ha..
Nice find … then Shoe will have to turn to a wrestler from blogger.
July 30, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Looks like an awesome event.
July 30, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Cool, i’m looking forward to it, and happy to have gotten an invitation. Sounds like Dave has not looked at the site to see the “lineup”…
July 30, 2008 at 8:12 pm
actual, real, live social networking – it’s what seperates the many nobodies online vs the reals
July 30, 2008 at 7:57 pm
MMA training sounds fun. Hopefully I don’t get my ass kicked.
July 30, 2008 at 7:19 pm
SEO and MMA, this could only be brought by you Shoe!
July 30, 2008 at 6:47 pm
seems lyk SEO is getting synonymous with MMA.. hmm…
July 30, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Looks like a good time. Would be cool to see a SEO fight club. This stuff is funny…http://www.shoemoney.com/2008/04/29/silicon-valley-fight-club/
July 30, 2008 at 6:12 pm
I’d love to go there – looks awesome.
July 30, 2008 at 5:16 pm
fantastic event and cool pic
!
July 30, 2008 at 5:04 pm
Yeah!! This is gonna be SOME beach party!!!
July 30, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Who is booked for the event? Why wouldn’t you just go to a conference where there are scheduled speakers? If they released a lineup of people maybe it would be more valuable, but it sounds like you’re paying $1k to go to some beach party.
July 30, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Yeah Dave, I totally agree.
Hanging out in San Diego on the beach, bbqs, parties, bars, playing games, and winning prizes, all while in the company of many fun interesting people and some of the most successful internet marketers, domainers, and SEOs in the world…….. sounds totally lame.
By the way, the guy in the pic is DK of purposeinc.
July 30, 2008 at 3:05 pm
MMA Training? MMA training and SEO go together kind of like Megadeth and an Affliction card. Not bad on their own, but together a little random. And is this event that anticipated? It looks kind of lame to be honest with you.
July 30, 2008 at 3:04 pm
Just posted it! http://www.purposeinc.com/pwp/2008/07/30/surehits-fight-club-at-think-tank/
Shoe is the mad speed blogger!

think yourself lucky to have got away with using such an obvious keyword for your name on the comment
July 30, 2008 at 2:27 pm
it’s not jeremy on the pic , there is some resemblance anyway
July 30, 2008 at 2:10 pm
excuse me?
“Error: Your Comment Is Too Short. Please try to say something useful.”
I think I said more than he did.
July 30, 2008 at 2:01 pm
randy’s a cool guy.. wish he was training the SEO’s!
July 30, 2008 at 1:55 pm
man i love randy Couture i’m jealous that you got to be choked by him
July 30, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Too much contact in thumb wrestling…how about rock, paper, scissors?
July 30, 2008 at 1:36 pm
You might have to watch what you say about SEOs after the training Jeremy
July 30, 2008 at 1:10 pm
lol.
funny pic..

July 30, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Video footage will be great
July 30, 2008 at 11:23 am
I can only hope that there will be video footage
July 30, 2008 at 10:59 am
We’ve just missed this event in London (12th June) http://www.mad.co.uk/Main/Events/madpresents/Default.html but looking at the prices I dont think i would have gone anyway £595 (aprox $1,200) sounds expensive to me.
July 30, 2008 at 10:53 am
Germany is getting closer, but not quite the UK! I think there are events that go on in the UK but they tend to be low key and you don’t often get to hear about them until its too late. If I had spare cash and time I would love to jump on a plane and visit the US for an event such as this, but at the moment its not possible for me. Hey Shoe, ever fancied a visit to London?
July 30, 2008 at 10:53 am
i love your site you can make money money today with us free
nice pictures:)
July 30, 2008 at 10:40 am
This recall me about MAA website.
July 30, 2008 at 10:18 am
Can’t find any info about this MMA event on the pages you linked to.
July 30, 2008 at 10:15 am
Awesome that should draw!
“Shots out to Jon Kelly.” – Jon will probably avoid you after that statement
July 30, 2008 at 10:00 am
hummmm , what about Canada ?
July 30, 2008 at 9:59 am
I will come out of retirement for you.
July 30, 2008 at 9:59 am
Organize one. There is a event in Germany I will post about soon
July 30, 2008 at 9:56 am
Why can’t these sorts of events be held in the UK? I’d love to attend them.
July 30, 2008 at 9:53 am
I’m still waiting to beat you at thumbwrestling.
July 30, 2008 at 9:42 am
Learning about SEO and MMA at the same time!!
INSANE! I LOVE IT!
July 30, 2008 at 9:38 am
what’s the relation between the 2 ?
it sad to see MMA is Taking all the BUZZ , bye bye Muay Thai and Boxing !
July 30, 2008 at 9:33 am
Looks like it should be a fantastic event, I only have a passing interest in SEO but would love to attend – might be difficult for me though as Im in the UK.
