I’m not at Pubcon in Las Vegas but everywhere I turn I’m reminded that the rest of the world is there. Twitter, blogs and photos are all reminding me that I’m missing a fun and informative event. So what I decided to do is just pretend I’m there. No one will know the difference and people won’t hold it against me or think less of me for not attending one of the premiere industry events of the year. Feel free to use my 3 step method to pretend, so people think you’re there as well. Shhhhh, I won’t tell if you don’t tell!

OK.  I’ll try it.  Yes, like you it seems that I am the only person not there...except you, of course.  Which makes me wonder how any other SEOs can serve their clients.  Or do they?  Wasn’t I the only one (and you, of course) not at the last conference a couple weeks ago?  Geesh.  Two years ago I squeezed out enough time to attend SES Chicago (which was a great conference, PLUS I got to eat at the Mambo Cafe!).  But I have not found the time to go to a conference since.  Occasionally I find the time to go to the bank or the bathroom, but a whole conference?  Maybe next year.By the way.  I like #3.  I wonder how to be even more impressive with YouTube (and tweet the fake video, of course).

Silly me, Li.  I popped into your website and I see that you ARE at Pubcon.  Or you are following David’s tips really, really, really well!
