New special sections on State of Search: industry, tools and event news

As you know State of Search wasn’t intended to be a news blog when we started. Slowly but surely however we have been covering more and more news, resulting in our own special News Section. We still are not a ‘real’ news blog, we are still looking for ‘the why and how’ in what is going on in the world of search and social. But we acknowledge that our readers want more, they want news too!

It is now time that we expand our coverage a little: we are next to backgrounds and news about search and social also going to bring you industry news, news about tools and specific event news.

Industry News

We’ve noticed that people love to know what is going on in the world of search. The search and social media industry is most probably the fastest moving industry out there at the moment. News and updates are being ‘thrown’ at us every day. What company is taking over another one, which initiatives are starting, what are the big boys doing? All news, all stuff we want to know.

Because we don’t want you to miss out on any of this we will be bringing you industry news, usually in a short post, sometimes a longer post. One example of this is the launch of Nichola’s new company this week. All the posts are gathered on the special Industry News Page.

Tools News

In the year we are now online we have seen a couple of important trends. One thing which is very much connected to search and social is tools. Tools is what makes many SEOs heart beat faster. They either want to build tools themselves or try every tool out there.

Tools help us in our daily jobs. We can more easily check our rankings, or those of our competitors. We can see what people are searching for or we can simply find out how many sites we need to beat.

That is why people love to read about tools and find out which ones are out there, what they can do and what changes they have or even what discount they offer. We will be bringing you the latest on the tools as well as reviews on our Tools News Page.

Event News

State of Search also is the website when it comes to events. I dare to say that we cover events like no other does. Just look at the upcoming SES London event!

We cover the events, talk to speakers and visitors and let you in on all the details discussed at a conference.

But there is off course more to know about the events. What discounts are there, which speakers are announced. We will bring you that information too. All gathered again on the special Event News Page.

As you can see all the news sections have their own pages where all the articles are gathered. These pages can be reached through for example the sidebar, but you will also see these posts appear on the RSS feeds. Not all of the posts will reach the homepage of State of Search, but some will. So keep your eyes open for any news.

And if you have news yourself, we’re off course open for tips!
