Here are the Top 10 Must Read Search Stories Entering 2009

#2. Tough Love For Microsoft Search - a long but telling piece about Microsoft and their Search mishaps by Search Engine Land Danny Sullivan.
#1. Measuring Natural Search Marketing Success - by Rob Garner over at Search Insider. This is an important article for site owners and business execs alike. As a result it has landed in our top spot of must reads entering 2009. This quote from a reader sums up the importance of this article: "Natural search comes dressed in overalls and looks like hard work -- but done well, it's capable of beating the pants off of paid search from an ROI perspective..." Expect to hear a lot more on this in 2009.
Some great reading to get the year started off right.
