Welcome to SEE What You're Missing, Search Engine Experts' monthly eNewsletter covering the world of search engine marketing, including search engine optimization and pay-per-click campaigns. This past month found two significant issues in the news: whether newspaper publishers should protect their sites and not allow them to be indexed by the search engines; and the roll out of real-time Twitter posts in the search results. We've included articles about each of these, and since it's the end of the year, a Top Ten list seemed to be in order: the Top Ten Most Influential People on the Web. We'd like to hear from you. If you have any questions about organic or paid search, please contact us. And if you decide that you do not want to receive our eNewsletter, use the link at the bottom of this issue to remove yourself from our mailing list.
