Ground Round Up: Week of March 05, 2007. Cheers!

March 9, 2007 – 6:00 pm
It’s a new week and I’ve got a new round of links, bitches. The Ground Round Up is designed to be a weekly post to allow me to give thanks to those who have linked/mentioned to my blog, notice those individuals who have helped in my learning of search marketing, and any post that I found interesting/unique over the past week. This week I am devoting all links to Search Engine Land and Search Engine Round Table (though I will give “hooray” to SeoClass). Why am I doing this? Because I am lazy? While it might seem like that, actually I just think both of these sites had killer content. Here is my link push, like it or not.

Web Marketing Basics. Is There Any Need?

March 7, 2007 – 10:03 pm
Whether it's organic ranking (SEO) or paid marketing, so many great beginners guides have already been written. Yet, every beginning web marketing site seems to, at some point, build out their own "guide" to organic or paid marketing for beginners. My question is: With so many great guides already out there, is there any point creating yet another guide (regurgitation) other than giving my blog relevant content? I feel like, at this point, even if I wrote a great guide and was able to bait the guide it would just be a slap in the face to all those who have written great basic information in the past. But I wonder, is it worth it to put a unique spin on widely distributed content or would it just be a tired attempt to be "part of the group?"
