Barry Schwartz: Getting to grips with Google (TECHIE)
Listen to PODCAST by The Recipe for SEO Success
Today I’m interviewing a very well-known name in SEO circles, Mr Barry Schwartz. the news editor of Search Engine Land and owns New York web consultancy Rusty Brick. He also runs very popular blog Search Engine Roundtable which is known for its coverage of SEO, SEM and all things online marketing.
- Your articles on Search Engine Land are the source of truth for my SEO experts and beginners. But whose articles do you regularly read and who are your sources of truth?
- What are your top five tools that every search marketing or digital marketing business type must use?
- John Mueller has recently come out saying lots of things don’t influence (or have a very small influence on) ranking as much as we thought. Keywords in URL, reviews on local search, outbound links, title tags. But in practice, lots of these things do seem to influence the results. What are your thoughts on this?
- Also with all these things not being factors, what still IS a factor; just the content on the page and back links?
- There’s a lot of confusion out there on page rank; what is it and is it still a thing?
- There’s also a lot of confusion around HTTPS versus HTTP and whether everyday sites need to make the shift. How important do you think it is to improving your ranking chances?
- For a small business person, what would be your top three things to focus on when starting out with SEO?
- Where do you see SEO heading in the next couple of years?
- You’re kind of the official translator of what Google puts out there, explaining it in normal human terms for the rest of us. Is that a bit of a heavy responsibility?

- When it comes to off page SEO, which tactic do you think is most powerful?
- How will the potential 10k tweets (the fact that they’re talking about increasing the character count) affect seo?
- Do we have to get experts to write all our blog posts?
- Ranking isn’t everything, what other key performance indicators should we look at to track success?

Rand Fishkin: SEO for small business (NEWBIE)
Listen to PODCAST by The Recipe for SEO Success
Recently I was lucky enough to score an interview with one of my all-time SEO heroes, Mr Rand Fishkin from Moz.com.
I asked him a heap of useful small business SEO questions, and yes, even asked how he felt being an SEO heart throb!

- What are you top five tools that every search marketing or digital marketing business type must use?
- If you only had a few hours a week to spare in which to focus on SEO and marketing, what would you spend it doing? Building links or creating content?
- There are only so many phrases and only 10 spots on the first page. Does there come a point where SEO just won’t work in a crowded market?
- What role do spelling mistakes play in SEO, would having lots of typos in your copy impact your potential to rank?
- Why is it so hard to rank for a keyword with a new page when you’re already ranking for it with an existing one?
- Does social media impact my ranking? And which social media channel should I invest my time in?
- What tips for an AU business wanting to appear in the US rankings?
- How will live streaming affect SEO?

- What was the one business decisions (mistakes) that you wish you could go back and change?
- The truth is you’re a little bit of a heartthrob for many female (and possibly male) SEO types. How do you cope with that kind of attention?
