You said your name twice in the session, I just didn't catch it. I was the one who made a point of making you repeat your url though, obv. Thanks for the great talk, and for dropping by! (P.S. I'll update the post accordingly) Thanks Jason.

I always get wrapped up in a topic and who really cares who I am or what my name is right? But for those interested... Jason Billingsley, VP Marketing at Elastic Path Software. The session was more about strategy than tactics, but I will be delivering a full course covering the tactical side of SEO for ecommerce in September - watch http://www.getelastic.com for exact dates.

They're generally pretty bizarre. I keep getting hits from people who do a search for “kenny rogers facelift picture.” Go figure. Some are more obvious.
