The show this week started off with the talk about Google +, Google launched their Social Network just before the show so Bas, Roy and guest Sean Sewell discussed what it was, and what the first thoughts about it were.
Sean Sewell was the guest on the show this time. Sean Sewell is the Director for Lead Generation for Performance Horizon Group, a company that is dedicated to revolutionising the lead generation and affiliate space in the UK. In that role he became very knowledgeable on the topic of coupon sites like Groupon, Living Social and Google Offers. In the second part of the show the future of those sites was discussed.

It is one of the most talked about topics in the industry at the moment: sites like Groupon, LivingSocial, Google Offers and Facebook Offers. Will they survive? What is their strategy and how much are they worth?
This is also the topic of our radioshow tonight in which we talk with Sean Sewell, who is the Director for Lead Generation for Performance Horizon Group, about Groupon, Google Offers and much more. Tune in LIVE and chat with us at 7PM UK, 8PM Europe, 2PM East Coast, 11AM West Coast.
Meanwhile take a look at this infographic which shows the money which is surrounding Groupon. (more…)

On March 2nd 2010 we did our very first State of Search radioshow on Webmasterradio. Now a little over a year later it is time for episode number 50!
We’ve had some great guests on the show, off course our ‘close relatives’ The Myers family (Jon and Lisa), Peter Young, Sam Crocker, Nichola Stott and Evert Veldhuijzen, but also ‘big names’ in the industry like Richard Baxter, the Critchlow brothers, Bing’s Stefan Weitz and let’s not forget Danny Sullivan. Many great guests who all made sure we had great shows.
You can listen to all the 49 previous episodes here, but I would urge you to tune in tonight LIVE for our 50th show, 7PM UK, 8PM Europe, 2pm on the East Coast and 11am on the West Coast,in which Lisa Myers and Peter Young will join us to discuss the latest developments in search and social. See you there?
This weeks episode was all about SES London 2011. Both Bas and Roy were there. They discussed the opening keynote of Jeff Hayzlett and other sessions. Also Bas interviews Jon Myers from Yahoo, Taylor Pratt from RavenTools, Andy Atkins-Krueger and Dixon Jones.

Bing is the second largest search engine in the world. And Google seems to be feeling the heat of the Microsoft search engine, given their fierce reactions to the alleged copying of search results. Last week we had Danny Sullivan discussing this topic on our radioshow. This week it was Bing’s turn to talk on our radioshow.
We were very happy to discuss all sorts of different matters about Bing. We started of with discussing why it is taking Bing so long to get to Europe and moved on to how Bing uses user intent, where even super computer Watson came by. Stefan also talked about Google’s accusations last week of copying results.

Tomorrow on the State of Search radioshow Bas and Roy will have Stephen Pavlovich as their guest on the show. Stephen Pavlovich is one of Europe’s most respected conversion experts around. He started his company Conversion Factory in 2007 and has since been very successful. To see what he is all up to check his blog on his own site and he recently wrote a great post on conversion optimization over at SEOMoz: The Definitive How-To Guide For Conversion Rate Optimization. We also interviewed him this summer!
In the show tomorrow, which will be aired live on webmasterradio.fm (8pm European time, which is 7 in the UK, and in the US it’s at 2pm on the East Coast and 11am on the West Coast, join us in the chat room!), we will adress the topic of conversion optimization.
There is off course the opportunity to ask questions or put in statements in the chat room, but we want to start the discussion early here today already by opening up the floor for your opinions and questions. We will do that by putting in a statement:
A new name, a new logo, same hosts, same time, same show. This Tuesday the State of Search radioshow replaced the old Searchcowboy sshow on Webmasterradio.fm. Myself and Roy did our very first “State of Search show” and talked to Ciaran Norris about global search and social media.
Ciaran Norris is a well known name in the Industry. He is the head of social media offering at global media agency Mindshare where he is said to be creating a ‘social media agency’. We know Ciaran from several events where he is a regular speaker and moderator.
If you have been following what we have been doing over the past year you will know we have a Searchcowboys radioshow on Webmasterradio. Every Tuesdaynight at 8PM here in Holland (which is 7 in the UK, and in the US it’s at 2pm on the East Coast and 11am on the West Coast) Roy Huiskes and myself discuss the state of the search market. Yesterday we had our last Searchcowboys radioshow. And no, we are not going to stop doing the show, we are going to rebrand! Starting next week we will be hosting the State of Search radioshow!
So why the change? It is pretty simple actually. With the launch of this new site the name of the show was too much connected to the “old site” which is confusing. To keep it all clear we are ‘rebranding’ the show to the State of Search radioshow. This does mean some changes. We will not only have to change the name, but also the logo and, not un-important, the feed. So if you have subscribed to i-tunes, be sure to change your feed starting next week. We will let you know the new feed a.s.a.p.!
Last night it was the last ‘regular’ Searchcowboys show. Roy and I were joined by no other than one of our writers, Nichola Stott. You can listen to the show below where you can also find the shownotes. Hope to ‘see’ you next week in the chatroom for the State of Search show! (more…)
