Last week SMX made it’s yearly visit to Sydney:

Key points to note were:

  • Twitter for business reasons is growing at a dizzying rate
  • Yahoo! and Google notice much spam being created by auto generation of content based on cycling words out of dictionaries etc.
  • The Australian industry is not only growing but maturing significantly as people become more experienced
  • Conditional 301 redirects (thanks Greg Bosser)
  • Rank Fishkin is a very smooth talker
  • Mobile sites can be done in three ways
        1. create completely new site (i.e.  http://m.domain.com) in addition to your existing site
        2. browser dection that sends mobile users to specific mobile CSS files as opposed to fully fledged CSS for a desktop/laptop
        3. do nothing at all and wait for everyone to access your site via iPhone (or clone) that uses a fully functioning browse
