As you may know, we're LIVE in Atlanta with StomperNet's 7th Face-to-Face event, and we wanted to update you folks who couldn't be with us with a few photographs we've snapped here at the event so far!

The real benefit of our LIVE events is what you see right here.  Getting to sit down with us and talk about YOUR business and interact with the Faculty, Staff, AND your fellow Stompers.  None of us is as smart as all of us, and that's never more clear than when we get together.

We kicked off the event with a FULL Friday of FormulaFIVE business growth.  The day was dominated by super-consultant Paul Lemberg, creator of F5.  In addition to going deep into the time management power of FormulaFIVE's "Turbo Thruster" we also got to see Paul's secrets for nearly INSTANT and INFINITE product creation.  If you have more products to sell, you make more money.  Makes sense, right?

Andy Edmonds sometimes talks over people's heads, but that's just because he's so dang smart!  In additon to sharing his formidable SEO and usability skills with Stompers, he's also been showing off his new iPhone app "iBlipper" – (available soon!)

Here's another example of how a Stomper event breaks down the "wall" you might see at some other events – here's Dan Thies, right off the LIVE stage, interacting directly with members.  You can come to our events and ask us ANYTHING about your business.  And if you're not comfortable asking in a crowded hotel lobby, you should check out the Confidential Roundtable discussions.  I'd tell you what was discussed (but you might never see me again!)

Here, Don Crowther brings his social marketing expertise to the table and lays it out for our FormulaFIVE Day attendees – and not only did he deliver BRAND NEW content for our members, but he hung around afterwards to make sure everyone had every question answered.  It's not just about listening – everyone is here to LEARN and we make sure that happens.

Towards the end of a long and information-packed day, we like to unwind and network, and that's exactly what we do.  Here, you can see members and staff after hours.  Is Andy threatening this guy for wearing the same shirt to the party?  Probably not.  After such a long day, we'll let the fashion faux-pas slide.

Okay… maybe not!  Just when we thought we were done discussing fashion, this guy walks in.  No, not Faculty Sherman Hu.  The other guy – with the hat!  As a special bonus for demonstrating his understanding of "attention marketing", Andy gave this guy an hour of free consulting with the Stomper Faculty member of his choice.  It PAYS to come to LIVE events, in many more ways than the obvious one.

And that was our Friday.  Saturday would prove to be even MORE busy and literally busting at the seams for some sessions.  In fact, it was SO hectic, that I'm only just now getting to tell you about Friday, but we promise, check this space again very soon for another update from the floor of LIVE 7, including details and tidbits from our presenters, and of course, more photos!

If you want more up-to-the-minute updates, lots of buzz (and tweeting) over on Twitter!   (Speaking of Twitter, the next post will have some good stuff from Perry Belcher's presentation, so don't miss it!)

Also, don't forget to leave us a comment if you like the pictures.

Talk again very soon!

Two things, if you please:

1) Mass Control Bye Bye

2) Search Engines are Good, but Goofy.

Mass Control 2.0 "Bye Bye"

This launch was so good, I've simply GOT to reverse engineer it (like I did with Frank's 2^nd video) and create some checklists for people to evaluate their own marketing processes because…

Frank set a new standard, and I think and it needs to be memorialized…

..and then copied.

Mr. Kern, if you're reading – congrats pal, I learned a LOT and the system is ninja.

My "Gonzo" bonuses for MC 2.0 are here, and the last handful of Mass Control 2.0 systems are available here.

I wonder what the High School Guidance Counselor that said "Frank, think hard about a public sanitation career" is thinking now.

For that matter, what would your High School Guidance Counselor say to you – if they met you today?

Heh.

Search Engines are Good, but Goofy.

Have you ever been DREADING being on receiving end of a phone call or email or letter?

And then… you get it, and it turns out to be… Okay.

And every once in a while, the news you get it is of the "BOOYA!" variety.

That's what's about to happen to you.

The State of the Search Engines

I've gathered up Leslie Rohde, Dan Thies, and Jerry West to create a

"State of the Search Engines" series of audio podcasts.

So, shut off CNN, or FOX News, or whoever is filling your day with fear and poison, because:

We've got "BOOYA!" news about Search Engine Optimization.

BTW, these podcasts will be free.

We're just finishing up the last of the topics that we'll cover – but before we go into audio production, I wanted to ask you if you had any questions of your own, or suggestions for hot SEO topics.

If you do, just help yourself to the comment box at the bottom of this very page.

I'll post the release dates shortly.

Andy

P.S. Never one to mince words… I laughed pretty hard when I got this email:

"Dear Recession,

Suck it.

Sincerely,

Frank Kern – Mass Control 2.0"

P.P.S. This is why I don't listen to the news anymore:

"Wall Street indices predicted nine out of the last five recessions!"

(BTW, the dude that said that won a Nobel Prize)

Wow! We've gotten an incredible response to the new Going Natural 2.0 video we released last week, and I want to thank everyone who sent comments and feedback. Based on some of that excellent feedback, I'm pleased to announce our second video in the Going Natural 2 series: "Destroying Duplicate Content".

Now, last time, I showed you how you can increase the number of listings you have in the SERPs. This time, we're changing gears and I'm going to show you how you can avoid being BANNED from the search engines.

I think this is some KILLER stuff. In fact, maybe we should rename the series to "Going Medieval"…

Anyway, we hope you love it.

If you haven't already, you can see the video here.

If you've already watched the new video, we mention "SEO Stop Words" – We've provided a list of them below.

…or was it a rude awakening?

Maybe you should decide.

Last week a blogger had the nerve to call me out publically – I decided that maybe he was right (OUCH!).

Go watch this video and decide for yourself.

Then come back here. Take your best shot at me. Or maybe you want to tell me how great I am for giving you this killer content.

I'll let you decide. The gauntlet has been dropped!

And best of all – there’s more video to come – so stay tuned.
