Not too long ago, Shoe wrote a post explaining why he quit going to SEO events. Around the same time that post was published, I made a brief appearance at SMX Advanced to wander around the Expo Hall and sneak into a couple of sessions. That was the last conference I’ve gone to, and it was the first one I’d been to since the Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas last winter. Even though Pubcon wrapped up last week, I was sitting comfortably at home working instead of drenching my red eyes with Visine and coughing the dry Nevada air out of my lungs. I still travel about once a month (I fly to Denver for work), but my schedule has been SEO-event free since Advanced, and I gotta say that I don’t really miss them.
