The Power of Influencers

People don't use Google the same way they did in the past. 10 years ago if you wanted to find information on a product you Googled it. Today if you want to find information on a product you have way more, often better, options. You could ask in a community. You could visit a review site like G2. You could post about it in social channels and get unfiltered, unbiased feedback. And yes, you could still Google it, but with all these new options available should Google still get the bulk of your advertising dollars? 

If you're a regular listener of this podcast you likely already know our stance on this, but the question still comes up often. That's why we reached out to the Godfather of SEM, Rand Fishkin and asked him to join us to talk about this very subject.
