As I gave B.L. such a hard time in reporting legal concerns of SES speakers yesterday it seems only fair that we not leave her response simply as a comment in the original conversation.
Here’s what she had to say:
First of all, what qualifies me as a search engine optimization expert is the SEO work I have done for clients for the past 10 years, optimizing sites for natural and paid search.
My clients’ sites consistently rank in the top of their categories and I have written extensively on SEO topics in my newsletter and blog and in articles published in MarketingProfs, ExpertPR and several others.
No malice is intended in my sale of this report. I have not quoted anyone, shown slides or included information directly from any conference speaker.
I have included information that represents my conclusions about the best current practices in SEO that were discussed at the show.
I sell the report as one of many reports I offer through my site. Selling reports is one of my sources of income. I have had only one return in several hundred sales of six reports so I have to believe that people find the information useful.
What I’ve done in my search strategies report is compile information.
I am deeply sorry if doing so is offensive to anyone.

Now, there were a number of conference speakers from SES that were not happy with B.L.’s actions so let’s have their response to the above here in light of what Ms Ochman had to say….
