Bloggers highlight: Bastian Grimm (@basgr)

Bastian-Grimm

The bloggers who really make this blog deserve some attention and that is what we’re doing this week. This week I am paying some attention to the bloggers in these last few days of the year. See what they wrote, look at how their year was and what their expectations are. A digital thank you for their work.

We are a blog with most European writers, British, Norwegian, Dutch and ONE German, Bastian Grimm. And we are so very happy to have him on board. He is very knowledgable and next to that he is also a fantastic conference blogger. Just see what he did at SES San Francisco.

Kelvin Newman, State of Search blogger

It’s the bloggers who really make this blog, they provide the great content after all. As you know this week I am paying some attention to the bloggers in these last few days of the year. See what they wrote, look at how their year was and what their expectations are. A digital thank you for their work.

Kelvin Newman was one of those bloggers you knew you were lucky with to have on your team. And lucky we are. Kelvin provides great content and shares his great insights with us.

Towards the end of 2010 I am shining a light on the bloggers of State of Search, the ones who are providing us with great content. I take a look at what they wrote, asked them how their year was and what their expectations for 2011 are. A digital thank you for their work.

Today Barry Adams takes the stand. Barry is the only State of Search blogger I have never met in person. Yet it feels as if we are friends, since we’ve been communicating over the web for a few years now. And Barry is the kind of person who doesn’t let you down. He might have some rough edges sometimes when it comes to opinions, he is a guy who stands for his opinions, even if that means he’ll have to eat is hat when he is wrong. I’ve seen Barry grow from someone eager to become a name in the industry to someone who is a solid and well respected SEO. And I’m proud of that!

It is time now for Peter Young. Somebody who has a very successful personal blog but still wants to blog with us. And that off course is highly appreciated, also because the content he creates his great. His great view on the search market also means we have invited him to our radioshow several times.

It’s the bloggers who really make this blog, they provide the great content after all. Therefore I’d like to pay some attention to the bloggers in these last few days of the year. See what they wrote, look at how their year was and what their expectations are. A digital thank you for their work.

Today it’s “Dutchy” day. We had Evert Veldhuijzen this morning and this afternoon its time for the other one living in Holland: Jeroen van Eck. Jeroen is one of these rough diamants. A highly talented young Dutch SEO who also knows how to listen and improve himself with every post. And he already writes great posts!

New year is getting closer which means it is time to give some attention to those who really make this blog: the bloggers. See what they wrote, look at how their year was and what their expectations are. A digital thank you for their work.

Today it’s “Dutchy” day. We have four Dutchmen writing for State of Search, including myself. But only half of them actually live in Holland. Evert Veldhuijzen is “the Dutchman from Germany” and to be honest, sometimes he feels more German than Dutch ;) . Evert is our “Twitter king”, whenever he is at a conference he can cover the conference on Twitter like no other can. But luckily he can write a little too!

Interview with Murray Newlands, organizer of Social Media Marketing 2010

murray-newlands

As a blog which does a lot of event coverage we also like to talk to the organizers of the events. One event which is rapidly gaining ground is the Social Media Marketing 2010 event, which takes place in San Francisco and the upcoming one in Las Vegas. Organizer is Murray Newlands, we asked him some questions about himself and the event.

Can you introduce yourself?

I blog at murraynewlands.com. I have been in online marketing since I was 24. I am now 36 so that’s 12 years already. I have been working in the affiliate marketing space for the last 7 years but in the last 2, I started doing more and more in the social media space. My background means I come at social media marketing from the perspective of delivering results, not just what some see as fluff. (more…)

Bloggers highlight: Sam Murray (@sammurray)

At the end of the  year I want to give some extra attention to those the bloggers from State of Search, after all, they really make this blog. I want to look at what they wrote, ask how their year was and what their expectations are. A digital thank you for their work.

Today it one of the three bloggers who were here from the very first start: Sam Murray. Sam works with Lisa at Vervesearch and is one of those silent powers. There are SEOs you will see on stage of a conference everywhere you go and there are those who work hard behind the scenes, they don’t need to be on stage. Sam is one of them. And he is knowledgable allright, his posts show that.  (more…)

And the winner is…

State of Search is THE conference blog. We cover many events in search and social marketing. Here you can find the very best coverage of many events. That’s why we decided to do a search for the best conference out there. And we asked you, the readers of State of Search to decide.

And you did! But I must admit you didn’t make it easy on me :) . It’s just how you look at it who is the winner. Keep on reading and you’ll see who won… (more…)

Bloggers highlight: Nichola Stott (@nicholastott)

2010 is ending and thus I want to talk a little about the bloggers from State of Search since they are the ones providing great content. I want to look at what they wrote, ask how their year was and what their expectations are. A digital thank you for their work.

Today it is time for a very very smart lady: Nichola Stott. I spoke to Nichola for the first time when I interviewed her after she and Sarah Carling had just joined the SEO Chicks. When Nichola came to me with the option of a guestpost the choice was easy: no guestpost, you’re coming to blog with us! And so she did, and in style! I cannot think of one post by Nichola I didn’t like. It was all awesome. And then there were the times we actually met in person, most of the times during conferences. Like the one in Amsterdam where Nichola, and many others, got stuck because of the Icelandic vulcano ash clouds. We had loads of fun, with amongst others Frank Watson and you should ask Nichola how she finally got home.

Search Trends according to Matt Cutts and Danny Sullivan

We are all familiar with the Google Webmaster Videos Matt Cutts is making. We actually talked about one of them yesterday. And today we see another one. And this is kind of a special one, one with a twist. And one with an extra person in there. In this video Cutts answered the question “what are some search trends on your radar?”, posed by Danny Sullivan. And guess who walks into the screen… The talk is about several issues: Hacked Sites, social signals and more.

It’s a nice video with actual information in it so be sure to watch it, but Danny, next time, look more into the camera!
