Lake Leelanau, MI (PRWEB) November 21, 2005 -- Oneupweb, the trusted leader in search engine optimization (SEO) and marketing (SEM), today announced the launch of StraightUpSearch.com, the company’s blog. StraightUpSearch is a forum for Oneupweb’s SEO and SEM inside experts to provide industry insight and present a clear view of search engine optimization and marketing best practices. The blog is named for its behind-the-scenes, unvarnished perspective, free of puffery. The bright clean design supports the editorial tone.

The blog raises controversial ideas and encourages comments from dissenting points of view. “If there are sacred cows in search, then this is the place to challenge them from a marketing point of view. Don’t come to StraightUpSearch to see typical griping about SEO spammers,” explains Oneupweb CEO Lisa Wehr. “Come to get your creative juices flowing, have a laugh or learn something new.”
