Search Engine College Launches World First: Search Engine Wiki (BETA)

November 12, 2007; 05:24 AM

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) November 12, 2007 -- Online training institution Search Engine College, has today launched Search Engine Wiki (BETA), the world's first vertical wiki dedicated to search engines and search engine marketing.

The idea behind Search Engine Wiki is to provide a collaborative online library of search engine marketing (SEM) resources.

Some of the extensive resources found on the site include:

• Lists of international search engines - categorized by country, type and industry.
• A glossary of definitions for common terms used in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Pay Per Click Advertising (PPC) and Search Engine Marketing (SEM).
• A library of search engine marketing articles.
• Employment resources listing SEO, PPC and SEM job vacancies.
• A collection of popular search engine marketing blogs and news feeds.
• Frequently Asked Questions about search engines and SEM.
• Lists of popular search engine marketing tools and time saving software.
• Links to upcoming search industry conferences and events.
• Introductions to well known search industry personalities.

"Search Engine Wiki actually began life as a massive collection of bookmarks, tools and site links that we'd gathered over the past 10 years as search engine optimization consultants", says Kalena.

"As I was constantly referencing these within the SEO courses that I teach at Search Engine College and in my Search Engine Advice Column, I realized that the collection would make fantastic starter content for a community-driven wiki. Last year, we discovered that the perfect domain (SearchEngineWiki.com) was available and it seemed like serendipity. We've been growing the Wiki ever since."

Like Wikipedia and most other wikis, Search Engine Wiki is designed for interactivity. Wiki users can suggest resources and definitions to be added or sign up to become editors and add these resources themselves. Search Engine College students are also encouraged to collaborate and contribute to the Wiki during their training and beyond.

Search Engine Wiki is now in BETA release and welcomes contributions from the public.
