Interview with Dr. Ralph Wilson at SES London 2008

I interviewed Dr. Ralph Wilson, the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Web Marketing Today, at SES London last month.

In the video interview, which is now posted on YouTube, Dr. Wilson recaps his “Introduction to Search Marketing” session. His introduction gave attendees the basics of paid and organic marketing online, starting the conference off by getting everyone on the same page.

Dr. Wilson also discusses his SES London session on paid search, giving special attention to the direct marketing-based landing page strategies in order to increase conversion rates, and dropping a few pointers on A/B testing for landing page optimization.
