I’ll be at Elite Retreat this Monday and Tuesday. From what I understand, there are only going to be 12 attendees and there will be 4 speaker / moderator / pros. I bet it will be more like a 2 day consulting gig than a conference. My site(s) can get a ton of attention from of few of the web marketing world’s best and brightest.
I need to organize a list of objectives, goals, and questions for these guys to make sure I get the most from the experience. I’m hoping it’s going to be a priceless opportunity to get a few bad asses to focus on my site(s) and the problems / challenges I’m facing as a marketer. It also might be a great time to get *your* individual questions answered. What types of questions would YOU be asking if you were to attend this conference?
I’ll blog a little converage here and there and a wrap up about the conference from a customer’s perspective. And don’t worry, I am not going to be pulling any stunts here. The main question that begs to be answered will probably be “was it worth the money?”. I’ll be posting that answer on Wednesday, so stay tuned.
If you have some awesome questions to ask these guys, and you want in on some of this conference-a-lisciousness, comment at LEAST one question you would ask if you had the chance to attend this session. Post a ton of questions if you want to score huge brownie points!

Hi Chris!
I was just poking around to see if I could find some more people going to the Retreat, and I came across your comment on the ER post at SEOmoz.
I feel exactly the same way about preparing to make sure that I get everything possible out of this. And only 12 people? Wow – that’s awesome!
Anyway – I just wanted to pop in to say hello, and I look forward to meeting you in San Antonio!

Hi Laura, looking forward to it! I’ll be flying in on Sunday night and will probably head down to the bar to see if any other nerds are there waiting to meet up and say hi :-)

Ok, here’s a question you can ask…
We all know and hate spammy one page sales letter sites. So what do people think is the best alternative, if you’ve got a product in a niche market that you’re trying to sell using the Internet as an easy access vending machine? Do they think full sites are the way to go? Or something else?

ask the experts what keyword groups to bid on for arbitrage, and see if they use ip cloaking for when adwords employees manual review ppc landing pages ;)
