The formal launch of Search Engine Land remains December 11. However, Barry and I have decided to kickstart the daily SearchCap newsletter this Friday. You can now also signup for our monthly newsletter, which will now be called Search Month. More on this, plus information on the three different feeds we offer, in the post below. Our Search Engine Newsletters & News Feeds is a new page on the site that covers every newsletter and feed that we currently offer.

I'd like to thank again everyone who helped us narrow down the choices for a Search Engine Land logo. We came to a final decision, shown above.

I said before that a logo for Search Engine Land was in the works (along with an entire site design -- what you currently see is NOT how the site will look when launched next month). We've bounced around various logos internally and narrowed the field. But I thought it would be fun to see what people in general think. So below are the some of the final logos we're debating. I can't promise that we'll go with the winner of the public poll, but we'll definitely consider it. Cast your vote, plus you can leave a comment below, if you like. Postscript: Thanks, everyone! The poll is now closed. We [...]
