No, not Frodo. His will shredded like wet toilet paper. Gollum took the lava bath, destroyed the ring, and saved everyone from a 36" Dark Lord. Does he get any credit? Nooooooo. Nine-fingered Frodo is the hero. The ladies all swoon at Legolas and Aragorn. But not poor Gollum.
Internet marketers, and SEOs in particular, are a lot like Gollum: We're shunned. We don't get much sunlight. Our diet is awful. And we never get the credit for business success.
It's our fault. We're good at building rankings and building traffic. But we're terrible at demonstrating the value of our work. So we fling ourselves into the lava. Every single time.

What IA, UX and SEO Can Learn from Each OtherIan Lurie
Google has become the arbiter how users experience a website. Their data-driven determinants of what constitute good UX directly influence how a site is found. This is wrong because people, not machines, should determine experience; Google does not tell the SEO or UX community what data is used to measure experience and many elements of experience cannot be measured.This presentation reveals why Google uses UX signals to determine placement in search results and how to create a customer pleasing and highly visible user experience for your website.
Core Web Vitals and SEO: Don't Panic. Improve.Ian Lurie
Core Web Vitals will impact SEO, it's true. But we don't know how much or when. We DO know there's not going to be a rankings massacre.
I talked to X-Cart's Jeff Cohen about Core Web Vitals' potential SEO impact, what to watch for, what to worry about, and why we shouldn't panic.

"Advanced" SEO is a phrase that gets thrown around, but we rarely practice truly advanced tactics.
Advanced SEO isn't rel canonical or nofollow.
Real advanced SEO cuts through abstraction. It doesn't add layers of stuff to hide SEO problems. It fixes them.
This is Ian Lurie's slide deck from Digital Summit 2019. Don't let the length scare you. It's packed with links, tips, and step-by-step to-dos.
Needs into Wants: Amazon, Google and the Race for RankingsIan Lurie
Google and Amazon don't appear to have much in common. But they're both heading in the same direction when it comes to rankings. They both have to address needs, and they have to do it by getting away from keyword-based algorithms. For us, that means a different approach to SEO.
This presentation dives deeper than user-centric design and content and provides concrete tips and techniques for capitalizing on the new model. It also explores recent changes and how they all move towards a needs-driven algorithm.
DON'T LET THE 150+ SLIDES SCARE YOU. It's a very fast read.

Introduction to Social Media 101 for real estatePeter Brewer
These are my slides for my 2011 2 hour social media basics for real estate presentation. For details on this presentation please contact me at peter brewer.com
It’s all too easy for organisations to get caught up in the shinier, glitzier realms of the content world – viral campaigns, social media outreach, custom publishing, slick video production, and more. So many ideas! So many opportunities!
But what about the basics? How about a strategic approach that focuses on getting the fundamentals right before embarking on complex creative campaigns?
Positioning content strategy and planning solely as a marketing function can lead to misplaced priorities, allowing certain fundamentals to slip through the cracks and cause trouble later on. The pressure on the customer support team keeps rising, and internal workflow breaks down… and no-one can quite figure out why.
In this session we consider what we might be neglecting in our rush to be exciting and trendy. We explore the content essentials, and look at how an organisation can manage and plan for them.
I presented this as a webinar for Data Conversion Laboratory on 10 December 2014 (http://www.dclab.com/webinars/back-to-basics-getting-the-content-essentials-right).
Please get in touch if you'd like me to give this or a similar talk in-house at your organisation.

Big Content, Small Teams: Content Creation For The Real WorldIan Lurie
Content creation is the bane of every marketer: Expectations are high, demands are unrealistic, and time and resources are scarce. But consistent, useful content is a marketing cornerstone. In this presentation, learn how you can make more of fewer resources and still create assets that support your marketing strategy.
E-A-T: Myths, Truths, And Implications for SEOIan Lurie
E-A-T has become a big deal in the SEO world. But how important is it? And can we use it to improve rankings? This presentation explores the myths, and talks about practical applications of E-A-T.
SEO Copywriting: The Blank Sheet Of Paper TestIan Lurie
Just write great content and rankings will follow blah blah blah. We all know that's not true. If you're writing web content, and you want people to find it, you need to understand SEO. But you DON'T have to be an SEO pro. Follow the Blank Sheet of Paper Test for optimized copy that doesn't suck.
Your Content Doesn't Matter Without TechnologyIan Lurie
Content professionals have to create content. They also have to publish it. So why are we so dependent on others for that last step? Learn about the problem, the tools, and the tactics content creators can use to improve their technical literacy, publish better stuff, and be better patners.
The Dungeons & Dragons Guide to MarketingIan Lurie
If you're a marketer, you already know how to play Dungeons & Dragons. Learn about return on time invested, avoiding railroading, and how gazebos help with keyword research.
Everyone wants to talk about advanced SEO as if it's a set of unique tactics. It's not. Advanced SEO is about recognizing Google's role in the search world, reducing abstraction, and making real fixes. In this presentation, Ian Lurie walks you through what "advanced" really looks like.
Bullshit, Own It: A Temperamental SEO's Guide To Getting Shit DoneIan Lurie
SEO consultants provide clients with recommendations. Like most consultants, we're frequently ignored. In this presentation, Ian Lurie talks about an incremental approach and shows specific examples where small changes add up, build trust, and make progress.

Advanced Content Workflow Using GitHub and MarkdownIan Lurie
Great content. Awful workflow. Content creators need to take ownership of the way they do their jobs. Stop using dated tools and processes. Stop settling. This presentation walks through a Github and Markdown content creation workflow.
Intelligent CX: 25 Years of Marketing, And Where to Go NextIan Lurie
Digital marketing has all sorts of cool toys. But we apply them the same way we did 25 years ago. To truly evolve as marketers, we need to start putting the tools to good use and think about creating an intelligent customer experience.
Google is tries to handle hate sites, but they can't. Racist, anti-semitic, misogynistic, and other content find their way into the rankings every day. This presentation shows two strategies I've used to push those sites down the rankings.
Marketing Worldbuilding: Collaborative Storytelling for DigitalIan Lurie
Marketing storytelling is a powerful tool. But digital marketing makes it difficult. Your audience can go where they want, when they want. Storytelling becomes collaborative. To be a good partner, you need to engage in a bit of marketing worldbuilding, too. Check out this presentation to learn how.
You're a team of one, or just a few. Your job is to create "content," whatever that means, but you don't have resources, access, or approval. What do you do?
This presentation provides tips for individuals and small teams of content creators. Tools, advice, and capybara all included.
Storytelling's great. Time to Add WorldbuildingIan Lurie
Digital marketing requires more than storytelling. Stories have a single path - an arc. But consumers, B2B or B2C, can choose their own paths. They work with you to create the stories. Make sure you know how to do that with search, social, and the other online channels. Use Marketing Worldbuilding
Content unicorns are great, but whether you're in a huge or tiny organization, you rarely get to create them. To hell with Unicorns. We need more content badgers. My deck from Mozcon 2017

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
