Search Engine Land, our sister site, launched a new look today. If you haven’t seen it, definitely check it out. Some of the new features include a more reader-friendly organization of the homepage content, the addition of Premium Memberships, and a return to allowing comments directly within stories.

We took the opportunity to make a more subtle change at Search Marketing Now — we’ve changed our colors. You’ll notice the familiar blue and green that are used for the Search Engine Land and Search Marketing Expo logos. We’re all one team, and it just made sense to align our logos the way we align our brands.

Search Marketing Now often features Search Engine Land editors in our webcasts – most notably our Executive Editor Chris Sherman and, increasingly, our contributing editor, Greg Sterling. Those of you who have attended Search Marketing Expo – SMX conferences may also recognize some of the same names from our Search Marketing Now webcasts.

As we enter our third year of delivering educational webcasts — and now whitepapers on search marketing too — we’re putting on our new colors for a new year.

And as we head into 2009 we’d like to express a large and heartfelt THANK YOU — to our sponsors, our speakers and our viewers. Have a great holiday and best wishes for the New Year.
