Here's the next installement in the series of Monday interviews called "Spotlight on Search". Today's interview is with Barry Schwartz, who runs a web application development business called Search Engine Roundtable blog, serves as moderator on numerous forums, provides editorial coverage and speaks at Search Marketing conferences AND is now running a new rustybrick.com. Lee: What made you decide to launch Lee: Your blog has become very popular in 2 years. Probably the most popular SEO blog out there. What are your goals for the blog in the next year? Barry: I am probably the most amazed at the blog success, I would never have imagined it be considered one of the most popular SEO blogs, let alone "the most popular SEO blog out there." But why ruin a good thing? If it ain't broken, don't change it. Coders use that line all the time. I hope to continue to do what we are doing at the blog forever. But what will change over the next year? I have been getting requests from readers over and over again, asking me to start an SEO forum. Time after time, I kept saying that I can not because it would be seen as a competitive attack against the forums I cover at the blog. Plus I moderate at three of the major SEO forums and have a wonderful relationship with all the major SEM forums. However, due to what has been going on at SEO Chat, I have decided to step down as a moderator over there. The problem is, many of the SEO Chat members (due to administrative changes at SEO Chat) have left SEO Chat and are in limbo, they are at forums that they do not fit into culturally and they feel exiled. Due to that, today (Monday the 12th), we launched a forum at the Search Engine Roundtable at Search Engine Watch Forums - DigitalPoint Forums - Ask Jeeves is number one, love the company, love the underdog. - Of course Yahoo as well. - you and Yisha! Lee Odden is President and Founder of Online Marketing Blog offering daily news, interviews and best practices.
