@SusiQMcHugh That would be really cool, Susi! And other companies can use on air hangouts in the same ways – lunch with the CEO, virtual tours, etc. Great ideas!

I agree: Hangouts are by far the best feature of G+. Google needs to amass users and one way to do that would be through a gigantic giveaway of some type. Not sure what it would be but people like contests! How about a trip to the ‘secretive’ areas of the Google SF offices (i.e. those not allowed on tours) and lunch with Larry Page?

Hi Allison, Thank you for awesome post!

I’ve used pinterest to optimize my site and the result was amazing my site was jumped from #234 to #9 in few weeks time. The trick is we must got our website pinned and repinned by many people this is the hardest part. Most of pinterest users won’t doing repin when they aren’t like what we pinned.

I do simple thing to outsource it on fiverr and got my site pinned by 75 people, I don’t know how can he did it just search by typing pinterest on fiverr and you will find it on the TOP. Many other seller offer pinterest service on fiverr but in my experience they can’t make my website increase in SEO. I don’t know why.

As I know currently pinterest is best for SEO for these reason:
1. Once our website pinned it has 3 backlinks counts
2. Google interest in social media signal so it will not tagged as links farm
3. Currently pinterest links are dofollow even the image
4. Even not support anchor text (except the url link), it’s still perfect for placing our keywords in description. Google will READ it!!
5. You need to ping the links of your pins to the to get your website increase in SEO6. Obama The President and Mark Zuckerberg now pinning on Pinterest lol.

Great post, Deb. I have been guilty of a few points. I do think we should all have a Poken, though. http://poken.com

Yes, I do have regular cards, but it really is still ok to give out the presentation cards after your presentation. It let’s them know what you did and that THEY MISSED IT! haha

My best tip, which seemed to get a lot of kudos in LA was to make a Presentation Card that had my name, title of my presentation, room # and time on it, as well as some of my other info.
