Link Week: New Column From Search Engine Land

Jan 15, 2007 at 7:00am ET by Danny Sullivan

I’d like to welcome Eric Ward who kicks off Link Week today, a regular weekly column from Search Engine Land. Eric’s has been both building links as a professional over the past 14 years and educating people about the space over that time. We’re thrilled to have him writing for us.

Link Week is the first of several other columns that will be launching on Search Engine Land over the coming weeks. I’ll provide an introduction for each one of them, as they launch.

Danny Sullivan is editor-in-chief of Search Engine Land. He’s a widely cited authority on search engines and search marketing issues who has covered the space since 1996. Danny also oversees Search Engine Land’s SMX: Search Marketing Expo conference series, maintains a personal blog called Daggle and can be followed on Twitter here.
