Search at the Center: Connected Marketing

Mike Grehan, VP, Global Content Director, Incisive Media

Mike has a unique ability to see over the Search horizon, explaining the inner workings of search before they became public knowledge. He described how PageRank worked when websites were still learning about title tags, pointed out how Google used end user behavior as a ranking attribute while the rest of us were still scrounging for inbound links, and described how eventually, the industry would realize a protocol to replace HTTP would become necessary to satisfy the end user demand for a faster and richer experience. Last year at eMetrics, he outlined the future of the Internet as a web of applications and described how Google and other search engines would have to adapt to this new connected environment. Learn what Mike sees from his search marketing observatory and how to stay a step ahead of your competitors.
