What is LondonSEO you ask?

LondonSEO is a quarterly networking meet-up for internet marketing professionals of all sorts (not just SEOs!) to have fun, drink far too much and make new friends in the industry. The meet-ups started in 2005 (yes that long ago) and are still going strong.

Don’t be shy, come along to the next one!

LisaD Highjacks LondonSEO.org…again. Next party; Thursday 19th June!

Right, so while Rob is partying away at SMX in Seattle I thought, HA!, I’m going to take over LondonSEO and organise a party. Ok it’s not really that dramatic, we talked about it (ehm yeah we are not married) before he left to SMX and he has left the organising in my safe hands. Mowhahahah!

Our very kind sponsor for this party is Media Contacts, a London based Media Recruitment agency, who place a lot of people in SEO and PPC. I have used Media Contacts myself on several occasions for recruiting and I highly recommend them (John Fraser is probably one of the world’s last genuinely nice recruiters, that doesn’t only think about his commission. And as MediaContacts has snapped up John they must stand for the same principles)

Media Contacts

Date: Thursday 19th June (2008 that is!)

Venue: The Ship Tavern in Holburn. Literally just behind Holburn station (take a left and left again, or at least that’s what the geezer from the pub said!)

Time: 6pm until late (basically until we get kicked out at closing or alternatively get kicked out for evilgreenmonkey being rowdy)

Who can attend: Anyone involved in SEO, SEM, whether black hat or white hat. Heck we even let affiliates in (sorry very nice affiliate people)

Please join the LondonSEO Facebook group (this time I have actually opened a group and added an event instead of opening a new group for each event, doh! And I do SMO????)

PS: 4 of the SEO-Chicks will be there, whoop whoop! The fabulous Julie Joyce (the funniest freakin blogger ever), the chocolate crazy Judith “deCabbit” Lewis, the wayyy too pretty Rebecca Scott and of course the very down to earth and professional LisaD (ehm).

PS PS: Ha ha, evilgreendonkey (yep that’s right, I’m still trying to Googlebomb his ass for this) is going to be less happy about me spamming LondonSEO with SEO-Chicks stuff. Oh well, he’s in Seattle, can’t get me from there donkey!!

Hope to see you all on the 19th, let’s make it a fantastic Summer LondonSEO party!

Roll up, Roll up – We’re Back At The Cittie of Yorke

by Rob Kerry - Posted on

I’ve been on the road quite a bit recently with business trips and conferences all over the place. I know that we’re due another LondonSEO though, and a new gap has opened up in my diary that coincides with fellow LondonSEO organiser, Jay “Str0ud” Young, Ruby-mad Tony “notsleepy” Spencer and Julie “SEO-Chick” Joyce, being over in the UK.

As everyone seemed to enjoy the Cittie of Yorke last year, we’re planning to hold an event in their basement dungeon once again. The date for your diaries is Thursday 10th April, starting from 6pm until late.

Propel RecruitmentWe’re happy to welcome back Propel Recruitment as our sponsor, who some of you may remember from our September 2006 event which they also sponsored. They’ve put a big chunk of cash behind the bar for us to super-size our beer bellies with. If you’re thinking of a change in career or in need of some new minions, Propel is the best in London for online marketing recruitment. So that I don’t get beaten up, thanks to Lisa for finding the sponsor.

Event Details:

Date: Thursday 10th April 2008 from 6pm onwards.
Venue: Cittie of Yorke, 22 High Holborn, London, WC1V 6BN [Google Maps] [Streetmap].
Nearest Station: Chancery Lane (Central Line).

FaceBook Group: LondonSEO – April 2008

LondonSEO Party – Thursday 21st February

by Rob Kerry - Posted on

That’s right, SEO Chick Lisa has highjacked LondonSEO, and I’m organising the party for the last day of SES London. This is going to be ONE awesome party. Still can’t believe they are trusting me to organise this, mowhahahaha…

We got two fantastic sponsors for the party, RedFly Marketing and Altogether Digital.

Myself and Evilgreendonkey were out scouting for a venue last week and have decided on the Camden Head in Islington, it is located just 2 min walk from the Business Design Centre where SES is being held. The pub was used for a previous LondonSEO party 2 years ago for anyone that remembers that far back =) Wayyyy before my time, I was wearing SEO nappies back then!

So put this in your diaries:

Date: Thursday 21st Feb 2008

Time: 17:00 – until late

Venue: Camden Head, Islington

Nearest station: Angel

I have also opened a Facebook Group for the party, please feel free to join.

Oh and I would appreciate RSVPs either through comments or the Facebook group, now lets show the Americans and Europeans how the LondonSEO crowd party =)

For the regulars, will be nice to see you all again, for those of you that haven’t been to a LondonSEO party before, you won’t regret it =)

SMX London 2007 Party Venue Confirmed

by Rob Kerry - Posted on

The Harcourt ArmsAfter an in-depth analysis of pubs in the area; Jay, Julie, Steve and I unanimously agreed on the perfect after-show party venue for the first ever Search Marketing Expo in London.

Chris Sherman has been organising a fantastic line-up of speakers and topics for the inaugural event, including 2 SEO Blokes and an SEO Chick taking the podium. Make sure that you get your conference passes now, before they’re sold out! LondonSEO Members get a 10% discount by using the coupon code “LONDONSEO” during registration.

So where is the venue of this auspicious event? We’ve selected The Harcourt Arms, less than 5 minutes walk from the conference location. The fact that the pub is Swedish themed is in no way me trying to get back at Lisa :cough:

So you have no excuses for not attending, here’s everything you need…

Date: Friday 16th November 2007 from 6pm onwards.

Venue: The Harcourt Arms, 32 Harcourt Street, London, W1H 4HX [Ask.com Map] [Streetmap].

Nearest Stations: Marylebone (Bakerloo), Edgware Road (District, Circle, H&C, Bakerloo) and Baker Street (Jubilee, Bakerloo, Metropolitan, Circle and H&C) [Tube Map].

We’ve got a private room booked upstairs with a private bar, plus we can spill out into the rest of the bar if needs be. For those of you who enjoy inhaling poisonous gasses, a rainy beer garden is available for you to kill yourself in (Yanks – we’ve banned smoking in enclosed public spaces now).

We will be announcing an event sponsor shortly for the beer buying, ensuring that your business networking time is suitably lubricated.
