SEMJ.org is the first printed journal dedicated to the advancement of search marketing. Its goal is to help professionals in the industry demonstrate and share their expertise. We are different from a magazine because we encourage the submission of articles and research papers by experts in the industry. As do scientific journals, we review articles submitted by industry professionals and our editors decide if the article is suitable for publication in our journal.

SEMJ.org offers basic membership plans for subscription to our journal. All papers are available online to paid members.

The articles are written by professionals in the field and edited by their peers. It offers an in-depth look at the history of our field, what is happening today, and the future. The articles are written to appeal to a broad base of readers from new to advanced professionals. Articles will help with SEO, SEM, marketing, affiliate marketing, branding, the history of search, programming and more.

SEMJ's authors are generally invited industry experts or those who submit papers to us which we deem appropriate to for publication in SEMJ. Authors can submit papers to more than one journal. SEMJ editors are located all over the United States and abroad. Our offices are at 2020 E. Charlotte Bozeman, MT 59718 in the Stoneridge building.

Currently, SEMJ is published semiannually but expects to move to a quarterly schedule in the near future. Volume 1 refers to the first year, Volume 2 the second, and so on. Issues are numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4 within each year. The first Journal issue - Volume 1, Number 1 --was published April - June, 2008.
