4 Ways Search Marketing is Like Super Bowl 44 (XLIV)
Super Bowl XLIV kicks off in Miami this Sunday, and in the three hours that follow, cheers and jeers will explode across the country as America revels in its favorite pastime. Sure, noshing dip and screaming at a screen can be tiring, but the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints have their work cut out for them as they battle for the NFL Championship.
It got me to thinking that the journey to the Super Bowl is a lot like search marketing. So, in honor of Super Bowl XLIV (44), here are four ways the Super Bowl is like search marketing.

Archive Dive with SEO Experts — SEM Synergy Extras
In the year and a half that Bruce Clay, Inc. has been doing a weekly radio show/podcast with WebmasterRadio.fm, we’ve been lucky enough to have the most incredible guests. And while I try to feature our expert interviewees on the blog as part of SEM Synergy Extras, there’s usually no substitute for hearing from the authorities themselves.
Unfortunately for listeners, at the moment SEMSynergy.com is in need of a little TLC because the only way to sort and view past episodes is by date — not super helpful if you’re looking for a particular guest or topic.
While we undertake some modifications for the site, I thought I’d do a little organizing for your podcast listening enjoyment. Here are some of our interviews from the last six months, categorized by topic. My hope is that this will allow ya’ll to dive right in to our stellar archive of episodes. So sit back and scan this list to find your favorite personalities or topics.

SEO Weekend Update: SEMMY Awards, Caffeine on Scene, and Yahoo! Ads Made Easier
It’s Monday and my feed reader and e-mail inbox are overflowing. (I bet this sounds familiar!) It was enough for me to reinstitute a feature on the Bruce Clay, Inc. blog from before my time: the SEO Weekend Update. Here’s the search news from over the weekend and today.
Enhanced Rich Snippets and Highlighted Answers in Google Results
Google has announced two enhancements to search results through Rich Snippets and Google Squared technologies. The first is a new Rich Snippets format for events, allowing webmasters to identify pages with events through a standard, engine-friendly format. The second uses structured data to deliver “answer highlighting,” seen in search results as boldface text that answers a user’s query.

Plus guest Bryan Eisenberg, accomplished Internet marketer and author of bestselling books Waiting for Your Cat to Bark and Always Be Testing, comes on the show to talk about the trends he sees for SEO in 2010 — but it isn’t Wednesday yet, and this isn’t SEM Synergy Extras, so tune back in tomorrow for a good time with Bryan and the BCI crew!
In the meantime I’m going to stick to the news vein with a round-up of news stories and developments with special pertinence to search marketers.

Keeping Score: 10 Predictions for 2009 — How’d Bruce Do?
Let me just declare to the world that I’m extremely proud to be employed by a fortune teller. I apparently can’t even read the expiration date on my cottage cheese. Yet some people, like Bruce can read trends and project them into the future.
Tomorrow we’ll be publishing the SEONewsletter (sign up in the sidebar!). Being that it’s the first edition of the new year, Bruce has authored his annual predictions for the SEM industry in 2010. The article holds the promise of intelligence on which to build a strategy for the coming year.
They always say hindsight is 20/20, so just imagine the accomplishments you could achieve with a clear map of the future in front of you? Sure, no one can actually tell the future, but there’s a definite advantage in having an idea of emerging technologies, of those search marketing services with high upcoming demand, and of how the economy will affect the industry.
Don’t believe me? Check out how on-target Bruce was with his 10 major predictions for the search industry in 2009.
