SES hits NYC in March; take advantage of a special 20% Yahoo! discount to attend 

They say you never forget your first time. Granted, that phrase isn’t usually referring to “when I visited New York City,” but for this lifelong Left Coaster, it remains etched in my mind. Eleven years old and on a summer trip with the folks, I can still remember the cab ride from JFK to Manhattan, staring wide-eyed as the collection of skyscrapers grew larger and larger. Many natives may take New York’s hugeness and hubris in stride, but even as an adult, it’s still pretty thrilling to visit The City That Never Sleeps.

You can reconnect with The Big Apple yourself, while at the same time growing your search marketing acumen, by attending the upcoming Search Engine Strategies conference, March 17-20 at the Hilton New York. In the past, SES has yielded a wealth of data and tactics for everyone from Fortune 500 marketing pros to online sole proprietors who want to take the next step in their advertising efforts.

The SES Expo—consisting of booths with the requisite tchotchkes and eager company representatives—is free to attend, provided you sign up in advance. Of course, Yahoo! will be there, so be sure to come by and say hello. The Conference section of SES includes keynotes speeches, valuable panel discussions and other breakout sessions. As a reader of the Yahoo! Search Marketing Blog, you can get a 20% discount off of your Conference registration fee, using the discount code 20YAHOO at the official SES site.

Springtime in New York City: The Central Park flowers will be starting to bloom, and—by picking the collective brains of search marketing’s superstars–so can your paid search campaigns.
