R.H. Donnelley acquires LocalLaunch

September 8, 2006

First, let me thank everyone who has called, IMed, emailed, posted, and sent SMS congratulations. It’s very much appreciated.

If the above sentence doesn’t make sense, the press release can be found here: http://www.locallaunch.com/rhd-locallaunch.aspx

There seem to be a few concerns about my role in the internet marketing community, and I wanted to clarify at once.

1. I am retaining my co-moderator status at WebmasterWorld of both the Google AdWords and Local Search Forums.

2. I will continue to speak (and attend) industry events. The next time I will be speaking is September 28th at SES Local in Denver.

3. I will definitely be in Vegas for Pubcon.

4. I will continue to update the blog (however often that may be).

There’s discussion about the acquisition at WebmasterWorld, and I’m sure Greg Sterling will have a more comprehensive post about the subject soon.
