More to the above, I’m happy to announce that Rob Kerry is coming onboard to fill the role of Sphinn editor.
Many of you will know Rob from various forums as evilgreenmoney, and for the past few months he’s been running the Search Engine Watch Forums. Frank Watson – AussieWebmaster – takes over there (congrats, Frank). Rob posted the news there, as well:

Rob’s last day there will be on September 18, so his first official day here will be September 19. However, he’s actually live here getting ready for his new job.
Rob’s role will be to work with all the Sphinn moderators, provide a steady hand on a day-to-day basis to watch over the site and oversee the further development of the site. I’ll still be around, of course – but my time gets divided up between Search Engine Land, Sphinn, the SMX conferences and other things – and Sphinn deserves someone watching over it on a consistent basis.
Speaking of the site development, we expect to be out of beta officially within two weeks or so. We’ve continued to add features as you’ll find listed here http://sphinn.com/story/1558. We’ve got some additional essentials to get up to lose that beta title, though even after that, we’ll still be improving things.
Also, I’ve never formally posted who all the hardworking moderators are who look over the site and watch out for spam. They are:
Vanessa Fox
Michael Gray
Rebecca Kelley
Rae Hoffman
Matt McGee
Neil Patel
Barry Schwartz
Mikkel deMib Svensen
Tamar Weinberg
Chris Winfield
We’ll have a formal staff page up listing everyone in a week or two at most!
Congratulations, Rob.
Congrats Rob, I would be happy to help if you ever need anyone else. Although I assume you would only want people who you have met in person :)
That moderators list looks like some Elite Internet Marketing company ;)
This is so damn cool :) Congats, Rob - they couldn't have gotten someone better for the role.
Is it just me or is this particular monkey sorta taking over the world?
Congrats evil!
Welcome Rob & congrats.
Wow! No idea so many people were already working on things here. You are all appreciated, love this site.
Honestly this could not have gone to anyone any more deserving. Rob, you are truly a wonder and I'm so proud of you. Congratulations sir.
Heh Rob, you do realise that being an Editor here means that you'll spend more time online, and that means less beer-drinking time for you, and that means more beer for all of us :-)
Grats Rob, and Frank too.
CONGRATS ROB! That's awesome news for you, Danny and the Wonderful World of Sphinn and Search Engine Marketing.
Good work fella - where the hell do you (or any of the other moderators for that matter) find the time?!
;)
Well done Rob, the force is strong with you!!
Thanks everyone :)
nice one Rob
Whoo hoo!
I posted the news at SER - http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/014762.html
Lovely picture taken by Li of Mr. Evil Green Monkey.
Congratulations! Thanks to all those moderators too!
Congrats Rob! and thanks to all the editors as well.
Congrats also mate.... seems all the cool kids are over here.... yeah right! Though I may have to boycott dinners and drinks for sphinners... I usually look for the sinners
that's two jobs i've given you now, rob... you owe me;)
If there ever was a reason to head on over here and read, Rob Kerry/evilgreenmonkey is it. Met him earlier this year, the guy's amazing.
If he had a fan club, I'd join it.
