I?m excited to introduce John Rampton as the new Managing Editor of Search Engine Journal. John is a great guy with a lot of love for this community. We know he will bring a level of expertise that SEJ needs and he brings an understanding of the blogging community that is required to be good at this job.

As a writer himself he understands the sacrifices our writers make to continually contribute to SEJ. This quality is one I personally appreciate, from both a writer?s and editor?s perspective.

As many of you know the success and future of SEJ is important to me. I think John is a great choice. I know that the SEJ community is in good hands with John and I urge you to reach out to him and get to know him better.

A Personal Thank You

it is time for me to step away, but I want to clarify some things and thank some people before I go. I know some of you are aware that I stepped back in at SEJ?temporarily in December. Neither I or the company that owns SEJ, Alpha Brand Media, planned on me staying on long-term. We have worked together to find the best new editor we could for SEJ and we are thankful we found John.

I have always enjoyed the SEJ community and working one-on-one with the writers that contribute to SEJ. I want to thank all the people that have supported me as editor when I came to SEJ in October 2011. You made my work even more fun than it already was.

I want to thank all the writers that have supported SEJ, and also me, by contributing. I also want to thank the SEJ community for being just fantastic people that continually support SEJ as a whole; your dedication is what keeps us going.

I want to thank Loren Baker for offering me this job and giving me the opportunity way back when :). It has been a blast and I really enjoyed it.

I truly hope that everyone welcome?s John with open arms. He will be a great and supportive editor.?
