We are excited to announce our latest funding round from Battery Ventures, one of the top tier venture firms. Even though we are still technically in stealth and not announcing (yet) products or customers, this is a great validation of our progress to date and the unique way we are going after the market opportunity in SEO. With Battery, we are also gaining an great new board member. Satya Patel was for several years at Google and brings a wealth of experience on search and the internet software which nicely adds to our existing team. A big welcome to Battery as our new investor and to Satya on our board!

Real-time Search and SEO

 

We just came back from the Silicon Valley Search Roundtable where the leading SEO practitioners in the Bay Area openly exchanged their latest ideas and analysis. Congratulations to Erik Newton for putting together a simple but highly effective event where the emphasis was on sharing and not on selling. BrightEdge's CEO and SEO expert Jim Yu was presenting the results of a recent study on the impact of real time SEO The findings are concerning: your organic traffic and conversions can drop by 40% when news on your company or products hit the blogosphere. The good news is that there are simple steps you can take to mitigate the effects of real time SEO when issuing your own news. It also opens competitive opportunities to steal traffic from your competitors. Read all the details in the study "real time search and its impact on your SEO".
