This isn’t a really in depth post and you will probably learn nothing from this post, but it does contain some ‘hot stuff’. Today we are announcing a mediapartnership with A4U Expo, one of the leading conferences in Europe and the leading conference when it comes to affiliate marketing. On top of that State of Search also got nominated for best SEO Blog in the 2010 Search & Social Awards! (more…)

How SEO is a lot like Poker
Recently, when reading Victoria Coren’s wonderful book on poker For Richer For Poorer, I realised that poker and SEO have a lot in common. Bear with me, this analogy isn’t as artificial as you may imagine.
Poker is a card game that involves certain skills, techniques, and a bit of luck, to win more money in a game than your competitors.
Search engine optimisation is a profession that involves certain skills, techniques, and a bit of luck, to help a site rank higher than its competitors in search engine results.

Starting next week: the State of Search radioshow on webmasterradio
If you have been following what we have been doing over the past year you will know we have a Searchcowboys radioshow on Webmasterradio. Every Tuesdaynight at 8PM here in Holland (which is 7 in the UK, and in the US it’s at 2pm on the East Coast and 11am on the West Coast) Roy Huiskes and myself discuss the state of the search market. Yesterday we had our last Searchcowboys radioshow. And no, we are not going to stop doing the show, we are going to rebrand! Starting next week we will be hosting the State of Search radioshow!
So why the change? It is pretty simple actually. With the launch of this new site the name of the show was too much connected to the “old site” which is confusing. To keep it all clear we are ‘rebranding’ the show to the State of Search radioshow. This does mean some changes. We will not only have to change the name, but also the logo and, not un-important, the feed. So if you have subscribed to i-tunes, be sure to change your feed starting next week. We will let you know the new feed a.s.a.p.!
Last night it was the last ‘regular’ Searchcowboys show. Roy and I were joined by no other than one of our writers, Nichola Stott. You can listen to the show below where you can also find the shownotes. Hope to ‘see’ you next week in the chatroom for the State of Search show! (more…)
State of Search launches: get more insight in the world of search
Hi and welcome at Stateofsearch.com!
Today at SES London we launch a new website which aims on giving more insight into the world of search and social media: Stateofsearch.com. The website is an initiative from former Searchcowboys Chief Editor Bas van den Beld, in cooperation with amongst others Lisa Myers.
Bas van den Beld says:
“When I left Searchcowboys I needed a ‘homebase’ for my articles. I wanted to more in depth and State of Search is the place to do that. When I talked to Lisa about this she immediately liked the idea and we decided to set up the website.”
On State of Search posts will appear that will look further than just at whats happening in search. State of Search will take a deeper look at search, trying to find the reasons behind and the impact of what is happening. Basically Stateofsearch.com will give you more insight into what is going on and why.
Bloggers
State of Search now features bloggers Bas van den Beld, Lisa Myers and Nichola Stott, but soon more names will be brought out from search experts who immediately responded to the news that the site was launching. The site will be open for bloggers around the world to contribute to the site, making it the place to be to find out everything about search and social.
Stateofsearch can be followed all over the web. Off course via Twitter (@state_ofsearch), Google Buzz (statesearch@gmail.com) and many more.
