Great post with lots of great articles, Melissa. Thanks for putting it together and categorizing it. Thanks also for including one of my articles.
Galen
As someone who does big link posts like this, I know this probably took a while. Thanks for including me!
There are some here I don’t recall seeing before — thanks, Melissa. And thanks for including me. ๐
Galen and Gab, thanks for keeping us all so informed ๐
Matt, you know always include you ๐
Thanks for the link, I initially thought this was spam from the trackback, as if you are ever mentioned in the SearchCap you get about 20 sites scraping that content
Good stuff!
Glen, I know what you are talking about. If Search Engine Land mentions an articles your link is suddenly on a ton of sites. Your 38 must reads were awesome!
