For every new development in search, and there are many, there’s an evergreen issue that never gets enough attention. Panelists in an SES session called “Big Site/Big Brand SEM” identified a few:

Misspellings. There’s a huge market for search term misspellings. Marshall Simmonds, chief search strategist for The New York Times Co., confirmed it in this panel.
