A research performed by the Dutch Dialogue Marketing Association shows that things are looking good for search marketers, much more money will be spent on search in 2010. The research shows its all about the dialogue, search and mobile.
The research is a quarterly questionnaire amongst the members of the DDMA. The results give us a nice insights in which direction the marketers believe the industry is going. We can learn and benefit from that. (more…)
First of all: Happy New Year! I hope 2011 will be the best year we have all ever seen.
2011 has started. It’s the first Monday of the New Year and many of us are starting the New Year fresh with good resolutions. And a new year also means you can get yourself (mentally) ready for a lot, and I mean a lot, posts on almost every site predicting the future of search and social in 2011. After all, every self-respecting blog is making these predictions.
Why? Well for one because its ‘easy’ content, secondly it might be a link worthy article (I’m linking to many of them in this post) and third, it’s always fun to look into a Crystal Ball and predict the future.
The thing is with these posts, hardly anyone dares to look at them again 12 months after they were published. How did we do in the predictions? Did we really have an idea of what was going to happen? Or did the industry caught us by surprise? Time to take a look. Note: I can’t talk about every prediction made out there, there were too many, but I collected some interesting ones. (more…)
The bloggers who really make this blog deserve some attention and that is what we’re doing this week. This week I highlighted all the bloggers going up to the new year. See what they wrote, look at how their year was and what their expectations are. A digital thank you for their work.
Last but not at all least is Sam Crocker, our very own American! Though if you hear him you wouldn’t know that because he sound as British as most of the other bloggers here. Why is Sam last in this list? Well because he came in last 
. Just before his move from Distilled to OMD.

Today is the last female blogger (of which we have way to few) who gets the attention: Annabel Hodges. Annabel joined us with a love letter, which was a stunning post to open with. This talented young lady is very well respected in the UK search market and we are very proud to have her on board!

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.

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.

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!

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…)
