Accidentally I have found a pretty good resource on search engine marketing. The site is called Marketing Experiments
Their motto is quite self explanatory for what you can find inside:
Research + Testing = Results, Discover what really works
Their mission statement comes to clearify their goals:
“MarketingExperiments.Com is an online laboratory with a simple (but not easy) five-word mission statement: To discover what really works. We test every conceivable marketing method on the Internet. We publish the results in the Marketing Experiments Journal (110,000+ subscribers).”
The most important aspect (maybe) is that their research papers are free now
I personally think that this is a must for every SEM consultant
