Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas

Dec 25, 2007 at 9:33am ET by Barry Schwartz

I just wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas from Danny, the Search Engine Land team, and myself. I have been tracking the news over the course of the day, and no surprise, it’s pretty slow. So I figured I’d feature some of our recent holiday related posts and end with some select recent blog posts and articles from around the search world.

I have compiled a list of threads from the search engine marketing industries and their most active forums, with holiday greetings from SEOs and SEMs.

Here are some of those recent great posts from the day:

Like I said, it is a really, really slow day in search news, as one would imagine. Our Search News Facebook Application is showing it is freezing – a snowy white Christmas, maybe?

Happy holidays and a happy and healthy New Year!
