I have created a 15 question reader survey that I hope you can all take. The purpose of the survey is to learn more about you and what you like best about the site. I basically want to learn your likes and dislikes about the content, design and features of this site.

As you know, we have been writing here since 2003 and we continue to try to add components that add value. In addition, we try to focus on search community news and discussion. So even though some news might be hot in the search industry, it might not be important to the average SEO. We try to focus on what is important to the average SEM based on what is being discussed in the forums. We will stay true to that mission but that doesn’t mean we can’t do better.

I am really hoping most of you can spend the time to fill out the 15 question survey. You can access it at this link.

If you need a reason to take it outside of helping us make a better resource for you, then here you go. If you fill out your name and email address, which is optional on the survey, I will randomly choose one winner. What does the winner win? The winner will win free schwag from Google, Yahoo, Live Search and other companies. Plus the winner will win a free dinner with me and maybe a few of my SEM friends (if they are available) at a kosher restaurant. The dinner has to be at a kosher place, but the winner can coordinate with me the date and time. FYI, the prize ideas came from suggestions at my personal blog.

Again, please take the time to complete our first ever reader survey by clicking here and answering the questions.
