New Q&A Site: Search Marketing Talk

I noticed some time ago that there’s no simple way to get answers to marketing questions online any more. Forums have become bloated with random chatter and social cliques and news sites are one-way conversations. I wanted to bring back signal with as little noise as possible and I see Yahoo Answers as the closest model to achieving this.

I would therefore like to introduce you all to Search Marketing Talk, a Q&A website for your SEO, PPC, Social, Domainer, Affiliate, Development and Analytics needs. To summarise:

• Ask and answer any on-topic question for free
• Vote questions and answers up and down
• The person who asks the question can choose the best answer
• Earn points for answering questions and extra points for giving the best answer
• The more points you earn, the more exposure you get
• Gain business referrals by being seen as the expert in your niche – promo yourself in your profile

The main rules are:

• No self-promo in questions or answers
• No link dropping – that’s what your profile is for
• No being a dick

I hope you find it useful and I appreciate any help in spreading the word via Twitter, Facebook, Email or Carrier Pigeon.
