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.
