Claude PelanneRyan did a great job of telling how he grew his business while surviving a Google Slap that cost him 7 figures. It was a great session with lots of humor and well worth the time. The Group had lots of insightful questions and comments. I learned you can rank for 72 keywords and gross $12,000,000. Amazing! Thanks to Brian,Dave and Peter for a organizing a great session.

Jerry ShapiroThe speaker was very open and real about what worked and what didn't as he built his company. His passions for selling gift baskets and catching large tuna were clear. He took us on a journey that showed how he used SEO to build sales, how some of the "gray hat" tactics backfired, and how, now that he has maxed out what he can do with SEO, he is going to more conventional means of generating publicity, such as baking the world's largest cupcake, to drive sales above the $12 million mark.

Tom WilkinsonIt is obvious that the guest speaker loves what he does. Ryan is a "ball of fire" and it was great to see him be so candid about his "real life" successes and failures with SEO and daily business challenges. If he works 80 - 85 hours per week during the busy season he really will be a basket case.

Todd GreenwoodTwo thumbs WAY UP. Ryan from http://www.... was great - and so were the sample treats.
