I recently just did a presentation on Is SEO Evil? at Sydney’s annual Web Directions South. The presentation seemed to go alright and I receieved some good feedback and questions afterwards on the topic, so I am quite happy with the overall results.

The slides alone might not make to much sense right now, but I hope to get some time to record some audio and sync them up if I can figure out a good way to do it. Slideshare and the new Keynote sound like they may support these features, so I will have a go and see what I can come up with.

It was a great experience presenting at Web Directions. I have attended all four conferences in the past and can credit these conference as a large influence on my conversion from hacking up table-base layouts to web standards advocacy… so it was quite humbling to be able to attend this year on the other side of the podium alongside so many of the web industries finest speakers.

I used a lot of Flickr photos for this slideshow, so I have attempted to attribute them all in the list below. See you at the next event.
