[edit] Search Engine Watch

This stub is about one of many SEO-related websites. It would seem like the only reason for this article is to provide the web site with two links from Wikipedia. --Synlighet 22:50, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable. Alexa rank 973. Mark as stub if you like. --Craig Stuntz 17:08, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• As much as I dislike snake oil salesmen SEO consultants, this is easily one of the top three sites on the topic, arguably the top site. Definitely notable. Keep. —Wrathchild ^(talk) 21:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Alexa Rank means it meets WP:WEB. Google News shows over 400 hits (mostly because it is a source) including references to the San Francisco Chronicle and Nightline. Capitalistroadster 00:54, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
• Alexa rank alone do not justify an article. Most hits on Google news are from searchenginewatch or SEO-related blogs, and can't be justifed as a reason to keep the article. We could be facing a lot of equally notable stubs about other SEO-related web sites if we keep this one. Delete
