New online search engine marketing community

Here is a new addition to the Social Web targeting the search engine and affiliate marketing communities: BUMPzee.

For some reason search engine marketing news stories tend to be buried at Digg. Even a well known and respected blog like Danny Sullivan’s Search Engine Land is incapable of getting its blog posts any decent ranking. Obviously someone in that community has decided that search engine optimization is a bad thing.

Honestly, we couldn’t care less, but we are glad to see that there now is an alternative social arena for the search engine optimization and affiliate marketing field, namely BUMPzee.

No, we have no idea what the name is about, but the service itself looks promising.

You may submit articles in two categories: SEM and Affiliate Marketing (plus a forum oriented category). Furthermore, you may add comments, vote for articles or “dump” them.

If you sign up (it’s free) you may register your own blog – if it is relevant. Here is a list of the people that have signed up so far.

BUMPzee is the creation of affiliate marketing expert Scott Jangro. It started out as a list of affiliate marketing blogs in October 2006, and morphed into a Web 2.0 site in January.
