.Dear Viewers, SEO Pros, and Digital Online marketers,.Hello there, I am actually Jenise. I've gone to the SEJ command for 15 years, along with Loren Baker and Brent Csutoras at my side as a large number proprietors as well as running companions.Yesterday, I woke up to a significant piece of updates: search engine optimisation information publisher Search Engine Property was purchased by advertising and marketing device company Semrush.There's an elephant in the room, thus let's start there certainly.What happens when a huge search advertising field gamer purchases a popular media outlet concentrated on the search marketing industry?Will the author's protection continue to be unprejudiced and agnostic? Will its own authoritative overviews include the breadth and intensity of tools as well as systems as well as companies readily available -- a number of which are in straight competitors with Semrush?What takes place to Search Engine Land's reams as well as reams of existing material -- articles, white colored documents, digital books, videos-- that describe Semrush competitions (umm, not to mention their back links)?What about dependable perspectives coming from respected writers that run counter to the new business gathering lines somehow? Will those representations still be actually posted, boosted, quotationed on SEL? Or even thinned, or perhaps silenced?A lot of questions.Neighborhood reactions, until now, have been actually either of a favorable, congratulatory attribute otherwise concentrated on problems of predisposition.Screenshot coming from LinkedIn, October 2024.Screenshot from LinkedIn, Oct 2024.Screenshot coming from X (Twitter), Oct 2024.Screenshot coming from LinkedIn, Oct 2024.Screenshot coming from X (Twitter), October 2024.Screenshot from X (Twitter), October 2024.SEL as well as Semrush each have been actually active in reacting on social media, saying again that:." Our program is to continue to remain individual and unbiased. Our objective is actually to give quality knowledge as our experts constantly possess.".I do think that these are their purposes for the existing content staff, for now.I'm curious to see whether this independence is going to stand the examination of your time, after the dirt has actually settled as well as the news of the purchase is lining our electronic bird crates.I want learning if SEL's editorial independence will definitely stand up the exam of investor interests in an NYSE-traded provider that created $305 thousand in income in 2015. I assume our team will certainly need to stand by and see.Here's Where Search Engine Publication Stands.As being one of the last private authors in the search engine optimisation business, SEJ continues to be bootstrapped and unbossed.No one takes SEJ's strings, handles our backlinks, our coverage, or our texting.That corrects. SEJ is actually the honey badger of s.e.o news: We state what our experts really want, when we prefer, how our team desire.SEJ is still devoted to stating the truth (effectively, the reality until things alter along with the formulas) about what is actually occurring in search engine optimization and advertising and marketing.SEJ is actually still dedicated to delivering objective learning as well as greatest practices for our visitors.A.k.a. service as usual here at SEJ.Who Is Actually Online Search Engine Diary Anyways?Our staff of 26 folks all over the world is composed of authors, publishers, designers, technologists, the back office that maintain things operating smoothly, sales functions. They produce me so happy, if I may boast a little.We motivate openness, trial and error, responsibility. Our experts do not accept workplace national politics or dangerous behavior. I like to believe our company're dense. Our team discuss, our team swear, our team entertain each other along with absurd memes. Our experts have actually giggled together and also wailed all together.Most notably, when the sh * reaches the follower, our company pull together. We rally. We receive rough. Time and time. I ask the staff to try once more, to enhance, to keep understanding-- as well as they do it. And also is actually when you recognize you have an A-Team on your hands.That's the whole entire lineup. SEJ possesses no capitalists. No corporate emperors. And also our team wish it in this way.Our self-reliance has actually been actually challenging sometimes. It would certainly be nice to have a corporate Daddy Warbucks that can "dim the skies with folks," as one of my favorite specialists ased if to mention.Therefore it does offer me pause when a rival publisher is now supported by a multi-national company with over 1,000 workers. That is actually a significant volume of sources, firepower, as well as reach.But over the years, SEJ's independence has actually ensured our team's capacity to supply one hundred% unbiased writing as well as learning for the hunt advertising and marketing area.We perform what our company really want. And this is what I trust: That our audiences, our advertisers, our area will definitely supply what we need to become a tough David to this new Goliath.I accept your comments, feedback, and ideas to make Internet search engine Diary what the search marketing area requires it to be now. Leave me a notification right here, as well as I vow to reply.Jenise Uehara.CEO, Internet Search Engine Publication.Featured Image: Tanveer Anjum Towsif/Shutterstock.
