This is a response to a competition to get around a table for dinner with my favourite SEO ExpertÂ DaveN not to mention Joost de Valk and Mel Carson.

Well Dave, you should buy me and my friend dinner because:

I’m a young and ambitious SEO, time with industry experts would be invaluable to me.
Time with the UK’s #1 SEO would be better than meeting the Queen!
After reading your blog on a hourly basis its only fair that I should get to meet you.
My heart ticks and you can hear it, that’s got to make for interesting conversation.
I can contribute my experience and also…
I know how to party
Finally it is my 21st Birthday two days after the event, this would probably be the best present ever?

With all this in mind, I am without a doubt the best person to have at the dinner table.

If you did win Anthony – where would you want to eat?

I’ve met the Queen and I have to say she’s more difficult to understand than Dave so you’re right there!

Hi Mel,

I love steak personally. So it would have to be the Docklands Bar and Grill http://www.docklandsbarandgrill.co.uk/. However thats only from my research, it has good reviews on Trip Advisor

Cheers,
Anthony

I must have missed the awards ceremony when he was awarded undisputed “UK’s number 1 SEO”. Sheesh, how could I have possibly missed that? In case you can’t tell, I am being sarcastic.
