Search Engine Watch, SES Shows Sold By Jupitermedia

Just announced, our parent company Jupitermedia is selling its ClickZ network -- of which Search Engine Watch is part of -- and the Search Engine Strategies shows to Incisive Media. More details in this company press release.

I'm literally about to run out the door to some meetings, so I wanted to dash something up quick to answer and anticipate questions our readers may have.

The Search Engine Watch team -- me, Chris Sherman, Gary Price and Elisabeth Osmeloski -- are carrying on with our regular work as part of the deal. While the owners are changing, the quality content we aim to deliver to you is not.
The upcoming SES San Jose show is continuing just as before, as are other shows on the agenda and further shows to come.

Overall, it's a good thing. Jupitermedia is concentrating on its images businesses, and the deal puts us with a new owner looking to expand the work we do.

Here are a few more links to coverage. Gary may update as things go along. Wish I could, but I'm literally offline through most of this week as I do visits to the search engines ahead of our SES show:

Postscript (from Gary): Jupitermedia CEO, Alan Meckler, explains why he sold SEW and SES on his blog.
