November ’08: Best Search/Marketing Posts
Time again for a roundup of the best search/marketing posts of the past month … this time we’re covering November, which was a pretty light month by my standards. There’s usually about 20-30 links in these roundups, but less than 20 in this one.
If you’re new to SBS, this is a monthly feature. You can find earlier “Best Of”s for each month in the archives. Only rule is that my own posts are not eligible.

Thanks for the link credit for the SEJ article Matt! I’ve got another one coming out tomorrow 🙂
Thanks for posting these links every month. They are fantastic and highly appreciated.
You know … sometimes I wonder if these link recaps serve any purpose, so it’s really great to get feedback like this to help confirm that they do. Thanks Dev, and thanks Vinicius.
Greatly appreciated indeed Matt. I’m drawing some inspiration from you, and I think I’ll take the time to create a similar post at every month’s end.
I actually wrote my comment because I really liked your monthly link recap posts and was afraid that you might stop doing them. Thanks again!
