State of Search radioshow – episode 7: Google Hiring Private Jets, privacy and Twitter

This week the show was co-hosted by Lisa Myers who filled in for Roy Huiskes. As a guest on the show we welcomed Peter Young. Peter is Head of SEO at Mediavest in Manchester. He is also one of the organizers of Sascon, a new UK conference. He also writes for his own blog Holistic Search.
In the first part we discussed Peter’s work and the Sascon conference. After the first break different topics came by like Clickthrough Data In Webmaster Tools, Google Hiring Private Jets and Google privacy issues.

The shownotes are below, all the links can also be found in the special delicious feed.
