Top SES coverage, Top SEO Blogs & Top "How to"

SES Coverage
Search Engine Strategies (SES) San Jose concluded last week. As the premier event for the search industry, there has been lots of coverage about the event. A list of the top articles, compiled by SearchEngineWatch.

Top SEO Blogs
If you are looking for the top blogs related to search engine marketing, check out this compilation. Looks like there's been some effort put into compiling this list; so the least I can do is link to the Top SEO blogs :)

Google Suggest
Lastly, Google has rolled out Google Suggest on its homepage, which is essentially a real-time search query prompt [Yahoo Search has had this for some time now]. Users will be shown query suggestions as users type in keywords into the search box--- another feature that'll make searchers lazy. Will a feature like Google Suggest impact the "long tail" theory of search? I reckon it could because if more people begin to use the keyword suggestions, we may see searches getting concentrated over fewer terms. We'll have to wait to see the extent of impact, as there are some ifs and buts here.

Here's something for those interested in trivia. The top "How to" list (taken with the assumption that Google Suggest is showing the most popular/ in-demand search queries)as shown on Google.com, here in Singapore on August 27, 2008 [Recording this for posterity!]:
