Web Search News

Links will open in a new window. Close it when you have finished with that site.

My aim in the Internet News blog is to provide a digest of news items that have to do with web searching - tools, techniques, aids, resources. Everyperson as a web searcher is the audience.

My sources include blogs written for search engine marketers since they must know how search engines work in order to do their jobs. There are also press releases about new product launches. Some sources have information about search tools, and some about peripheral tools such as the browser. Some have content directed to the actual searcher.

Pandia Search Engine News - the Pandia team of Per and Susanne Koch based in Norway delivers the single best compilation of news about search for searchers and search engine marketers. They also write feature articles on search tools.

Search Engine Land - Danny Sullivan and associates cover the waterfront for search engine marketers and optimizers. Searchers can learn a lot from the news updates and the in depth review articles.

Search Engine Journal - The blog has search engine news for marketers, but frequent contributor Ann Smarty describes search tactics. She is sharp. Also follow her at SEOSmarty.

Webware - CNet News merges stories about "cool web apps" from its many publications to create the daily Webware. Many of the tools searchers will want to know about.

Research Buzz - Tara Calishain is a searcher par excellence. She has been reviewing web collections, testing new search features, and sharing techniques for many years.

Altsearchengines - Companies and individuals post their press releases here about search products. Charles Knight, the creator, has opened a new blog called All Things Search.
