1. Super Bowl Advertiser Recaps - A lighthearted play-by-play Chris Boggs (SearchEngineWatch) of Superbowl advertiser’s ads and who made the grade as far as fully leveraging the potential traffic from this highly-watched sporting event.
2. Search Traffic is Down - ClickZ.com’s search engine report shows that search queries were down by a marginal percentage in December compared to the previous month.
3. Using Controversy to Gain Readership in Articles - Christopher Knight of EzineArticles.com presents 9 points to consider before grinding the controversy axe in your articles to gain readership. 

All well-written pieces with some very relevant information if you’re in the Internet Marketing field.  Check them out and I’ll see you next week!  Have a great weekend everyone.
