I hope everyone in America had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I’m sure you spent a great deal of time discussing Search Engine Marketing over Turkey and pie.  At night you dreamed of great search rankings, when you were able to sleep at all.  Well let me put your mind and ease as I finish up my two-part article on Search Engine Marketing looking at Link Building and Pay-Per-Click search engine advertising.
