Our JupiterResearch team reported today findings on the potential for vertical search. It seems to me that Vertical Search is an industry-opportunity within the Search industry. There is no telling how many thousands of online businesses will be created to serve Vertical niche business sectors.

And this leads me to our SES show starting Monday in New York City. I have posted several times about the growth of this show, but let give you an update. Both levels of the Hilton exhibition center are sold out. The paid seminar numbers are astounding: our largest paid attendance to date at any SES show was about 1100. It appears that the New York show will hit 1550 or more (the average seminar fee is over $1100). These numbers make SES one of the few great trade shows in the world today. It should be a spectacular four days at SES next week highlighted by Jerry Yang's keynote on Tuesday morning and the vibrancy of one of the great marketing land rushes of all time.
