Search Marketing Expo San Jose (aka SMX) was the mecca for search marketing and SEO this week. Alas, I had to watch from the sidelines. I was paying attention to the Twitter streams and recaps though. This edition of Angus Prime Filets delivers links to these recaps and slides from my favorite SMX sessions:

I hope to make it to SMX West 2013. After all, it is held just down the street from my office and the search marketing lessons are second to none.
