On a different note, I will be speaking at an English conference for the very first time next month. This will be during the ‘Blow Your Mind Link Building Techniques‘ session at the SMX in London (4-5 November), where my colleague Heini van Bergen will be speaking as well. If you’ll be there as well and you want to catch up with me during lunch, dinner, a few beers or if you’re just interested in a quick chat, feel free to drop me a line at wiep [at] wiep [dot] net.
