As you all know, it’s been a tough year for the print industry. However, we’re not only still here, we have tons and tons of plans and ideas for 2010. We couldn’t have done it without you, so to celebrate 2009 — and thank you for your help in achieving that success — we’ve got a great deal for you!

Many of you are familiar with our print magazine by now, and you know the high quality of the articles and information provided there, but not all of you have been there from the beginning. So, if you are missing some issues of Search Marketing Standard print magazine, we’d like to take this opportunity to offer individual back issues at the special price of $7.99 each (33% off our regular price). For individuals with US addresses, shipping is included. Unfortunately, the cost of mailing to international addresses means we must a shipping cost of $5 for each issue.

Each of the 15 issues of the magazine to date brings a wealth of valuable, practical advice on the various aspects of search engine marketing from experts in the field — optimization for search engines, pay-per-click advertising, social media, linking, usability practices, local search, mobile search, SEO practitioners and hiring, branding, and many others. Much of the advice that’s been offered by our expert contributors is as valid today as it was the day it was written, because we concentrate on concrete how-to and best practices which even in this fast-changing industry tend to pass the test of time. Of course, there are also time-specific pieces, which can be pretty interesting to review from the point of view of hindsight.
