It seems like only a short time ago we were last at SMX Advanced.  One year ago we were telling you to get busy with Schema.org (and you still should).  Honey Badger was in da house, which saw us updating our tools and adding new features like Crawl Control, Index Explorer and User Management.  Yep, it was a great show!

Are you ready to do it all over again?

Obviously we’ll bring new favors to the party.  In addition to our usual booth presence in the SMX Expo Hall, you’ll see Bing and Bing Webmaster in the following places and sessions:
