Dear readers: The Search Engine Marketing blog is retiring. I admit to feeling sentimental about it, because this blog was originally created for me by Jason Calacanis, in the early days of Weblogs, Inc, and although I ended up contributing to several blogs in our lineup, this is where it started for me. I'm grateful to Jason, and thankful for the people I met in the SEM and SEO universes, via this blog.
Chris Gilmer, who has been posting here lately, is still with us! You can find Chris writing on Download Squad, our software and online services blog.
Although our editorial priorities have changed over the nearly three years of operation, we do not remove retired blogs. the SEM blog will remain available as an archive (and not a badly optimized one!). Thanks to everyone for reading.

7. Too bad, this was one of my favorites. Most blogs in this realm seem to be focused on either one particular search engine (Google for the most part), or a narrow area of the SEM world, like link building or affiliate marketing.
I guess the demand just isn't there. Maybe that's for the best.

20. Dear Mr. Brad, You and your friends have worked hard so that this weblog has reached it today's place on the web. All people who have learned so much from your writings ask you to find a way to keep this site alive, of course the point you mentioned about archieving is great but if you could, as a hobby, continue adding content, we all would be grateful so that the gears continue to be turning.
