If you've been waiting for this book to be available, we appreciate your patience and feel your pain. Rich and I began writing over two years ago, and, a la Damocles, it's been a sword hanging over our heads ever since. It's been difficult to find the time—both of us have day jobs (and some of us have more than one!). And frankly, the landscape of site search analytics has dramatically shifted under our feet quite a bit during that time (thanks Google!). We've learned quite a bit since beginning work on the book, and are trying our best to keep up and, we hope, push it forward a bit on our own.

The good news is that the writing is probably at least 50% complete. We have a fantastic collection of case materials and data sets from many, many generous sources. And thankfully, we have some time now. (For various reasons, I need to be finished with the bulk of the work by winter's end.)

But we're missing one thing: a data set that includes referrer data and click-through data. We've not been able to find a source that can provide this data, and it's really frustrating, as these represent both ends of the search process, respectively. We really want to analyze a data set that will help us address questions like these in the book:

• From what pages were the queries initiated?
• For pages where queries began, what were those queries and how successful were they?
• What search results were clicked through most frequently for common queries?

If we can't perform these types of analyses, the book will be incomplete. So, if you want some free consulting, have a reasonably interesting site (e.g., not a personal blog), are willing to share data with us, and wouldn't mind lots of acknowledgment and positive publicity, then please: talk to us.
