Barry Schwartz of the famous Search Engine Roundtable SEO blog that tracks popular SEO and SEM forum threads has recently taken the next step from covering SEO forums and started one of his own.

The Search Engine Roundtable, one of the most popular search engine optimization and marketing blogs , has launched a new SEO Forum. This news comes shortly after the Search Engine Roundtable’s second year anniversary of covering the inner buzz within the Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing community.

Search Engine Roundtable is well known, and highly respected for its comprehensive coverage of the major SEO/SEM forums on the Internet. Thousands of Webmasters, search engine optimizers, search engine marketers and even search engine employees visit the site daily to learn what the community is talking about before it gets out into the main stream media days, if not, weeks later.

“The Search Engine Roundtable Forums were launched in response to a growing industry need,” said Barry Schwartz, Rusty Brick Inc. “Along with a group of well-known and revered forum moderators, I decided to create the Search Engine Roundtable Forums where a democratic style of governing and administering could be maintained.”

Search Engine Roundtable Forum’s style will be very similar to that of the forum the members are used to. However, the members and moderators will have a direct say in how the forum is administered. Member requests will be listened to, voted on and if accepted, implemented.
