Obvi, SES was the big event on the blogs this week. It’s already been recapped and live-blogged all over the place so I won’t spend too much time re-recapping it or dead-blogging it now. But I do want to highlight some of the excellent coverage and connections we made in San Jose.

First up, the coverage. Worth going back and reading if you missed it:

• Virginia Nussey live-blogged many sessions over at the Bruce Clay blog, including the death of last-click attribution and SEO tools of the trade.
• Check out the aimClear blog for coverage of topics including landing page optimization, conversion rate optimization and viral marketing.
• Rebecca Kelley at the 10e20 blog covered social media-related sessions (with extra snark).
• SEO-PR rounds up all the coverage on the Search Engine Strategies blog.

Next, some WordStream highlights:

• Our founder and VP of products Larry Kim spoke on a panel called "Brainstorming the Paid Search Super Tool," explaining just what makes WordStream so super and so different from typical PPC tools.
• Larry also spoke with Manoj Jasra about WordStream's vision and how the technology works. You can read the Q&A at Web Analytics World and at Search Engine Guide.

And finally we want to give a shout-out to all the great people we met at SES:

• Aaron Wall of SEO Book
• Alex Cohen of Click Equations
• Bill Hunt
• Bruce Clay
• Chris Boggs of Rosetta
• David Szetela of Clix Marketing
• Greg Myers of SEM Geek
• Josh Dreller of Fuor Digital
• Kayden Kelly of Blast Advanced Media
• Lance Loveday of Closed Loop Marketing
• Manoj Jasra at Web Analytics World
• Matt Van Wagner of Find Me Faster
• Mike Grehan
• Rebecca Lieb of Econsultancy
• Sage Lews of SageRock

And finally finally, a little non-SES action for you: Gab Goldenberg did a really interesting series on backlink checking (here's part 2) -- recommended.
