Ah, SMX Israel. Marty Weintraub, Michael King and others flying to Israel to join Israel’s top SEOs. I get to go to a great conference without flying anywhere. And great Kosher food. This is the life. Here were the best lines:
Best Lines
Roman Zelvenschi: Nobody knows how to pronounce my last name, but that’s OK, I rank number 1 for it.
Eli Feldblum: Use schema. Do it now. Seriously. You have an internet-connected device with you.
Eli Feldblum: We’ve reached the point where “normal” blue text links get lost in the noise on a Google SERP.
Barry Schwartz: Google is recommending … Doesn’t mean you should do it … Just saying.
Shira Abel: Google owns you. Get used to it.
Marty Weintraub: Facebook owns you too.
Marty Weintraub: Use Facebook to target businesses. Raise your hand if you have a FB account. Raise your hand if you have a job. See …
Tomer Honen (from Google): We got better at Flash. Right about the time people stopped using it
Olivier Amar: When you’re in-house you pay a lot more attention to long term. Because you still want to be here.
Ofer Dascalu: Some people say “publishers and Google are partners.” My partners reply to my e-mails. They pick up the phone when I call.
Michael King: When you interact with people on Twitter don’t use the same account that you use to Tweet SEO articles. That’s like trying to pick up a girl while holding a book called How to Be a Pickup Artist.
Best conference coverage:
- Live Blogging SMX Israel with Kahena Digital
- SMX Israel: You’ve come a long way, baby
- SMX Israel: In Rhyme (interesting niche)

Yep, it’s all about the kosher conference food. Isn’t that why we came here? Also to turn English majors into SEO greats?
It’s always about the food.
Thanks for the shout out Gil! We loved your talk(s) yesterday. You’ve got great energy and cruised through a ton of material!
Thank you! And nice coverage. Live blogging isn’t easy.
I got a lot out of hearing you speak yesterday! Thanks for these highlights too.
Thank you Naomi!
“So the first funny speaker I heard was Gil Reich, who never fails to amuse. ”
