SEO Chat

Search Engine Round Table

The purpose behind the Search Engine Roundtable is to report on the most interesting threads taking place at the SEM (Search Engine Marketing) forums. By enlisting some of the most recognized names at those forums, the Roundtable is able to not only report on these outstanding threads but also provide a synopsis that provides greater detail into those threads.

In addition, all authors have the leeway to step beyond forum coverage and either take a thread topic and expand on it or bring up a concept that was not found at a thread. We occasionally have some guest authors post on specialized topics in the search engine marketing field. Very rarely will you find posts here that are not related to SEM.

The mission of this site is to provide a single source for the reader to visit to locate the most interesting threads covered at the SEM forums. This will help you save valuable time clicking through the forum threads to find the true gems. In addition, most people are only active in one or two forums – this will allow for comparative advantage to take place between the major forums.
