What Matters in Today’s SEO

Two weeks ago I wrote a blog post about SEO lies and misconceptions. As a follow up to that post, I recently visited WP Tavern’s WordPress Weekly podcast and chatted with Jeff Chandler and Marcus Couch.

We discuss a number of topics surrounding SEO including what’s changed in the past five years, the purpose of SEO plugins, common misconceptions about search engine optimization, and the amount of effort involved in obtaining real, long-term results.

As Jeff stated, I was on fire and slightly revved up. As you listen to the show you can certainly hear my passion for SEO and the fact that I believe SEO education is critical for success.
