Hey All
We made it to the big Apple, safe and sound – what a trip (not going into details now!). Eric and I are here for Ad:Tech, the largest online marketing conference of the year! We had lunch (err…Dinner) at a nice Turkish restaurant called Dervish – must be one of New York best kept secrets – it seems touristy, but it’s actually a very nice, quaint restaurant.
New York is in Autumn – cool, not yet too cold, and the New York City Marathon starts today! It’s so hectic in NY – I have not every seen it this busy! All the hotels are fully booked! Good luck getting anything under $200/night!
For those of you following the GoogleBot (Google’s Search Engine Spider), we’re had RECORD spidering the past few days. Typically, our log files average around 30MB/Day, it’s currently averaging 150MB/Day. Good news for us – as we currently have over 50,000 pages indexed on BidThenBuy Auctions.
I’m won’t be attending the Ad:Tech conferences, just the exhibition – I find the conferences to be pretty uninformative to the experts, but instead more of a sales pitch to potential customers. The beauty of Ad:Tech is that it’s what you want it to be – we want to use it as a source of new partners and leads from just social networking – therefore, it is… and we save $1250 on Conference tickets and rather, get free exhibit hall passes where everyone meets anyways
