Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web.

Search Engine Roundtable Stories:

  • Vlog #24: Danny Sullivan - Father Of Search Marketing & His Transition To Google
    Danny Sullivan (@dannysullivan) is currently the Google Public Liaison of Search, which means he helps with communication between the Google Search team and Google users and others (like us)...
  • Unconfirmed Google Search Algorithm Ranking Update November 8th
