Please Take the Search Engine Watch Readership Survey

Search Engine Watch continues to grow by adding new users every month. But we're always looking for ways to improve the site, and would like to ask for your help. Please give us your feedback in our Search Engine Watch Readership Survey.

To learn more about you and your information needs to serve you better, we'd like to ask you to take a short survey. The survey will only take about 10 minutes to complete, and you could win some cool prizes. We'll be randomly choosing five respondents to receive a $200 AmEx gift card or a year's membership to Search Engine Watch (a $299 value). Please complete the survey before December 28 to be entered into the drawing.

Your answers will be anonymous and will be used only to form a composite profile of our readers. We'll only use your email address to contact you if you've won.

See the complete rules here.

Happy Thanksgiving, from All of Us at Search Engine Watch

We will not be publishing on Thursday, November 27, or Friday, November 28, in observation of Thanksgiving Day. I hope those of you that are celebrating the holiday can stay off the Internet and spend some time with those you love.

For those of you that aren't celebrating Thanksgiving, or have had enough quality time with your family, here are a few things you might find interesting:

* If you haven't checked it out lately, I suggest looking over the articles in our Search 101 section. It's been updated with articles covering the basics of search engine optimization, search advertising, and several other topics. Keep an eye on that section, as it will continue to be updated on a regular basis.

* We've been collecting quite the archive of Search Engine Marketing Webcasts. We've got one-hour presentations with Q&A available on demand on topics from Holiday PPC campaigns to search trends, to Profitable PPC fundamentals. You can also sign up for upcoming webcasts, including one next week on Advanced Keyword Research.

* Catch up with other Thanksgiving refugees on the Search Engine Watch Forums, or browse the archives to find the best advice on a range of search marketing topics.

* Head on over to Facebook to join the SearchEngineWatch Facebook Group or the Search Engine Strategies Facebook Group. Or check out our LinkedIn Groups for Search Engine Watch, SearchEngineWatch.com Forums, or Search Engine Strategies Conference & Expo.

We'll be back on Monday with plenty of new Experts columns, blog posts, and more. Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Changes at SEW: Moving Over Yonder

It's been a really interesting year here at Search Engine Watch. I'm happy to say traffic to the site is strong, if not at an all-time high, due to the fantastic work of our bloggers, expert columnists, and SearchDay contributors. News Editor Kevin Newcomb deserves much of the credit for those areas as well, since joining the site in January.

For those reasons, I'm also sad to say, my last day as editor of Search Engine Watch is this Friday, May 25.

It's been terrific being a part of SEW for three years, from launching the discussion forums in 2004, to bringing the local SEW Live! networking series to five cities, and expanding my editorial duties over the last year, including the recent launch of SEW Experts.

But, I am leaving the site and the daily editing duties in the hands of a capable staff, and wish them the best of luck. I'm also happy to announce that Rob Kerry (aka, evilgreenmonkey) is going to be resurrecting my former role as the SEW Forums Editor, which became a part of my role as Editor, but started to get lost alongside my expanding duties on the rest of the site.

What's next for me? I'm joining a start-up in the travel vertical based here in Salt Lake City, founded by a few people with long-time search industry experience. After years of agency work and freelance consulting, as well as my time at SEW on the editorial side, I'm looking forward to being the in-house director of online media, managing the content development strategy and online marketing programs for vacation rentals at zonder.com.

The timing is fantastic, as I now get to practice what I preach, particularly as I'm still programming our first SES Travel event in Seattle, WA, July 26-27. It's shaping up to be a great event, with a ton of buzz from speakers and prospective attendees, the agenda will be posted shortly, and stay tuned to the SES blog for further announcements on the program. I hope to see many of you at that event and others in the SEM conference circuit.

Meanwhile, Search Engine Watch is in the process of upgrading the site, adding contributors and new staff, so you can expect some announcements on that front soon.
