From The SEW Blog...

• Compete and comScore each reported December search market share numbers
  Both research firms reported Google continuing growth, but differed in the direction AOL and Yahoo took this month.
• Without Neutrality, What Happens to Search?
  Search depends on net neutrality. As a searcher, you already know how it feels to be blocked from results. Who hasn't performed a search where you clicked to some blocked or paid access page? Now imagine that on a larger scale, and search becomes an exercise in ultimate frustration.
• What’s Worth More, the Review or the Links?
  SponsoredReviews has joined the much-maligned pay-to-blog network scene.
• Improve Your WordPress Search Results
  Getting a WordPress blog up and running is easy. However, getting the best search results from your WordPress blog has typically required more than a little creativity.
