latitude online marketing show

Online Marketing Show 2006 is held yearly the at the RSA, London. A big greenhouse that never fails to roast participants in the afternoons. The show participants change little from year to year but the trends and the hot technologies move on quite quickly.

The hot trend this year is the rise of Search Engine Marketing, mixed in with social networks. Blogs and aggregation sites like del.icio.us, digg.com, and flickr.com.

Many of the search engine optimisation agencies are moving clients onto blogs and interactive media to further engage and connect with their users.
