SEO's are starting to realize that real marketing is a major key to long term success on search engines, yet I question...how can we get more creative and stronger at pitching big ideas if we "follow the circle" and attend SEO conferences while not adding in other areas of learning, the best RCS never comes from SEO companies, so why aren't you following the people who have done RCS since their inception?
