Last week Search Engine Journal announced the launch of SEO Clinic, a free service where businesses, individuals and organizations can submit their web sites for a review by our search marketing columnists, or our Resident Pimps.

The reaction to the announcement was phenomenal with well over 100 different sites ranging from personal blogs to established businesses to web 2.0 style social networks, all gunning for the chance for a free and public SEO review of their sites.

Essentially, our hope is not for only the lucky sites we chose to benefit from our expertise but also for our reader base to learn from the reviews, and even contribute ideas.
