Pandia takes a look at how you can keep track of search engine industry and SE marketing news.

You have Pandia and well known blogs like Search Engine Land and Search Engine Watch that will help you keep track of the latest search engine news.

But what if you just want to find sites that presents the most important headlines with summaries guiding you to the juiciest stories on the Web? In short: How can you be sure not to miss the latest big story about Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft and the lot?

There are a few sites and services that do provide such information. Here are some of the ones we use in our own search engine industry surveillance:

Techmeme

Admittedly Techmeme covers more than the search engine world, but this is definitely a site that manages to get the latest news fast.

Thechmeme present the latest stories with headlines, summaries and links to online discussions. It also provides links to other relevant articles available on the web.

Wikio

The European site Wikio also has a news section for search engines , covering many essential news sites and blogs. Wikio adds a useful tag cloud and also allows users to vote for the stories they find.

News Now

This UK site has a large search engine news section including news sources from all over the world (Pandia included). They also sort out the most popular stories of the day, making it easier to find the hottest news.

Unlike the other sites listed here, News Now does not present RSS feeds. That’s a shame!

Unofficial SEO Blog

Navneet Kaushal produces a search engine oriented blog that first and foremost focuses on covering other search engine blogs and news sites.

And since he is such a prolific blogger, he manages to capture most of the important stories – fast. There are often more than five posts a day.

This is an Indian blog, proving that search engine marketing is a global affair.

Search Engine Roundtable

The people over at Search Engine Roundtable are tirelessly covering blogs, search engine news, discussion forums and search engine conferences.

Expect short and focused summaries with quotes and relevant links.

Executive Editor is Barry Schwartz.

Threadwatch

Threadwatch is pretty similar to Search Engine Roundtable, although some of the posts may be even snappier than Roundtable’s.

The Threadwatch family includes some very prominent SEM experts, including Graywolf and DaveN.

if you add all of these to your daily intelligence pool, we guarantee you that you will catch all the important search engine stories!
