Note: For six years, I’ve ended every month with a list of the best articles that I read that month about online marketing. The first one was published in January 2007.
The last one is being published today.
As I look at my travel schedule and other commitments for 2013, not to mention the recent promotion and new responsibilities that I have with both Search Engine Land and Marketing Land, I’m afraid I won’t have time to read as much as I’ve been reading. If I’m wrong, I’ll resume these end-of-months recaps; but for now, I think stopping is the smart thing to do. Sorry to all of you who have enjoyed these recaps over the years. I hope I’ll be able, instead, to highlight great articles on other sites with short, individual blog posts rather than curating a big monthly list.
