As summer inches towards fall and in many places the temperature is still rising, you're probably thinking the best place to be right now is on the beach, by a pool or inside somewhere that's air-conditioned. These are all good choices, but next week there's somewhere else to be that's both hot and cool: the Search Engines Strategies conference in San Jose. In addition to the many tantalizing conference sessions covering diverse topics related to search, there will be refreshments, food, and of course, air-conditioning.
Additionally, on Tuesday evening at our Mountain View ‘plex we're hosting the “Google Dance” -- where conference attendees can eat, drink, play, dance, and talk about search. During the Google Dance be sure to attend the “Meet the Engineers” event where you’ll be able to meet and have a conversation with 25 or more engineers including Webmaster Central’s own Amanda Camp. Also, if you get a spare minute from merry-making, head over to the Webmaster Tools booth, where you’ll find Maile Ohye offering lots of good advice.
If you’re a night owl, you’ll probably also be interested in the unofficial late-night SES after-parties that you only know about if you talk to the right person. To stem the potential barrage of “where’s the party” questions, I'd like to make it clear that I unfortunately am not the right person. But if you happen to be someone who’s organizing a late night party, please consider inviting me. ;)
"Enough about the parties -- what about the conference?," you ask. As you would expect, Google will be well-represented at the conference. Here is a sampling of the Search-related sessions at which Googlers will be speaking:
We will also have a large presence in the conference expo hall where members of the Webmaster Central Team like Susan Moskwa and I will be present at the Webmaster Tools booth to answer questions, listen to your thoughts and generally be there to chat about all things webmaster related. Bergy and Wysz, two more of us who tackle tough questions in the Webmaster Help Groups, will be offering assistance at the Google booth (live and in person, not via discussion thread).
If you're reading this and thinking, "I should go and grab the last frozen juice bar in the freezer," I suggest that you save that frozen juice bar for when you return from the conference and find that your brain's overheating from employing all the strategies you've learned and networking with all the people you've met.
Joking aside, we are psyched about the conference and hope to see you there. Save a cold beverage for me!

Wow, even Google's blogs get spammed. Meanwhile, wish I could attend one of these meeting, if only for the shoulder-rubbing.
I need help fixing a problem, please tell me who to go to. My blog Watergate Summer , http:watergatesummer.blogspot.com, is my work that I am writing and parts of it are going to be published and because of that it is very important that I and others be able to google it and have the cached , ot the "Similiar" pages come up. But three times this week, they have been removed and also I have been the top spot for over 2 years, and I appreciate that because it makes it easier for my older readers to locate. thank you enigma4ever@earthlink.net, if you can help me I would so appreciate it.
When will Google think up a way to give the world an OS choice and break the monopoly of Microsoft as an OS? Open Office 2.2 sure is better than word, to bad so sad the world is hooked on Gates clunky software.
And perhaps a googlephone might be somthing to think about?
Google Local Searches is a big time flop..... Google should at least be clear on what the product is.. they are giving local search and saying they support indian languages . its just simply not true... they might be making it but this launch went waste for them.. As i know 80% of the journlist didnt understand what excatly the product is... ha ha the press release drafted by googles pr agency was awaful and complicated.... "Text100" might lose google india account for sure.. Guruji.com raftar and asklaila are gainig ground on googles poor show ......
Hey everyone!
looks like Googlers are having a quite busy time...
they forgot to update backlinks in Google Webmaster tools which should have been done between 11th - 20th
they haven't exported Pagerank values yet , but backlink export took place on August 1
some say because Google is rolling out a new algorithm...
I don't believe them ntil there's an official word on any of their blogs
Hi,

If you come to INDIA my full bar is open for you all.
Any friends in GOOGLE at BANGALORE.
Good Luck.
I was fortunate enough to make it to the SES San Jose, and... The GOOGLE DANCE!!! What a great time. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Maile, Vanessa and a few others who were so cool to help me with my T-shirt site and answer a ton of questions. It was so hands on, I am going to suffer from withdrawals for the rest of my life! I am now going to get more involved in the webmaster tools forums and blogs like this one. Talk to you all later.
