When and where is this event going to be?

I would like to know what new ways there are to market an online business without spending a lot of money?

How do you get customers to buy from you when you have to compete with big name companies?

Are google ads one of the best ways to market your business online?

Thanks!

I've got a question for John Kaplan from Google:

Why does Google rank sites in the top 5 with keyword rich domain names and page titles, but with no contents or pages?

Thank you.

Hi SBOC,

Here's another question that I have for your expert:

What is a good number of words to have for the meta description and the *meta keywords*?

Thanks!

I've got a question regarding SEO:
I've seen many e-commerce owners that have created multiple sites. I understand that some secure their businesses online in case a technical problem arises on one of their e-commerces. I have also discovered that some e-commerce owners rank high for certian keywords, then secure their ranking with multiple domains, with the same descriptions, keywords, etc..., monopolizing the top positions. I think it is an unfair practice, and a kind of spamming too. What are the search engines planning to do to prevent that and keep a fair ranking competition for all e-commerce owners in the same field?

I would like the expert to look at the 'site' we have http://local.yahoo.com/details?id=1003232
1 and tell me a few things:

1. Is there anything we should do on the current site to improve traffic?
2. If we had our own site, would they expect our traffic to go up much (we get 500 visits a month)
3. Does putting coupons and specials on your site increase the hits you get?
