Brett Tabke Interview

Over at Media Posts' Search Insider there's a nice short interview with WebmasterWorld and Pubcon founder, Brett Tabke. A few highlights:

"Conferences must listen to what is going on with these weekenders and start to adjust the more formal conferences to get these people back into the process."

"Search engines are the current big muscle on the block. But they have one major weakness: they can’t exist without Web sites to feed them, but Web sites can exist just fine without search engines. Search is just about another form of traffic for Webmasters."

"I think we will see a day when a search service realizes that Aunt Sally’s phone number relates to a date notification of her birthday in such a way that it should send you to ProFlowers to buy Aunt Sally a birthday card."

"Organic search results are difficult for the average Web site to attain today. Organic optimization is becoming for professionals only."

Nice!

Too bad Rob got to Brett first. I was supposed to interview him last week but the biz comes first. I will be publishing an interview with Brett Tabke as well as several other search marketing luminaries at Online Marketing Blog in the coming weeks.
