There's a sad news going on in the SEO Industry. Danny Sullivan, is leaving SearchEngineWatch and the Search Engine Strategies Conferences. He made a very lengthy post in his personal blog at daggle.com.

After ten years, I'm leaving Search Engine Watch and almost certainly leaving the Search Engine Strategies conference series as well. My contracts with their owners Incisive Media are expiring, and we've not been able to agree on new ones.

I'll explain more about the situation below. However, let me stress that the purpose of this post isn't to cast blame. It's simply to explain directly from me to those who care about why I'm leaving the site and conference series with which I've been associated with for so long.

Its sad to hear the man behind one of the greatest SEO related website and SEO conference would leave. The good thing is that he is still with the SEO industry. We will still continue to hear from him in the dailysearchcast at webmasterradio.fm
