Bas and Roy were joined by Peter Young, a UK SEO who is also blogger for State of Search and a regular guest on the show. They discussed several different topics from the news in the past few days. Google which might be buying Groupon, how Google is maybe ‘evil’ and is being investigated by the EU, reviews and much more.
Also Bas told about the Dutch artist VanVelzen who “gets” social marketing and Peter spoke about his post “Search and social: A match made in heaven?”
The shownotes are below.
