If we take a look at our statistics we do not only see a steady growth in number of visitors. What we see most is that most of our visitors are returning visitors. Wit the website being only a few months old its obvious that search traffic will grow in time, but the fact that we have so many returning visitors, who on top of returning, all spent quite the amount of time on the website strengthens our vision. Our articles are not only clicked on, they are read fully!

So, all the loyal ‘fans’ out there who aren’t already: you can support us! By becoming a loyal follower on Twitter (and thus get notified of not only new post but also interesting content from around the web), becoming a fan on Facebook or subscribing to our newsletter!

The newsletter (check out the first one we sent two weeks back) will have mostly original content in there, content not (yet) published on the website. So its a must-register!

    Tips on live blogging a conference, to make your life more easy

    Yesterday I spoke at SASCON, a conference organized by several Manchester SEOs. The organization did a really good job. The conference was organized for the first time and that meant a lot of things were new to both organizers and visitors. And that made it a refreshing conference. The organization tried to look at as much as possible to make the event a succes. These days I mostly speak at conferences, but as a media partner for some conferences (like the upcoming A4U Expo) I’ve also blogged on conferences a lot.

    At conferences you can see a lot of bloggers sitting, mostly in te front row, typing and typing. These girls and guys are covering the event. That’s a good thing, because after all, not everybody can attend the conference. With Twitter it has already become more easy to follow what is going on at a conference but it is still a very nice thing that you can read back blogposts about a conference. Yesterday at SASCON I was especially impressed with bloggers Kieron Hughes and David Towers who managed to get a lot of content out there in very little time. I saw posts coming by from Kieron even before a session was actually finished. That’s a hard work because you have to pay attention and write at the same time.

    I have been blogging conferences for years. And I can tell you: it can be a lot of hard work if you want to do it right. That’s why I’ve gathered some tips for those of you who plan on live covering a conference. Just to make the blogging life a bit easier. (more…)

    Well…: wrong! Yes, the fact that great content comes from the different bloggers is the absolute plus for this website. It makes or breakes the success. But to get to that success you need to lay a good foundation. And if you are blogging for business it can even be hardere. In this post I’d like to share with you some tips on how to run a group blog. Based on my experience here and on Searchcowboys. I know, it’s not about search, but I hope it will benefit you. (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.
