SEO Radio Show Topics

[Ridge]

Jeremy is out of town this week, but hopefully next week we can plan up our second official SEO Radio Show. It's going to be tough topping our first show after having a guy like Michael on there, but I'm going to try anyway

I know we covered a lot of stuff last show, and we missed a lot of great topics we just didn't have time for. I'm going to be trying to get a great guest for this show, and we will all be answering your questions.

So, let's have 'em - Give me some ideas for topics, and guest suggestions.

I still think it would be very helpful to go deeper into what trends we are really seeing in the current SERPS results. Hard to talk about much else at the moment.

[chowner]

yes. Talk about the caffiene update. You can see glimpses of it at some datacenters:

209.85.225.103
74.125.95.132
66.102.7.18
64.233.163.19
74.125.19.106
66.102.7.104

Lot of spam seems to have come through but it's also just the beginning, so hopefully they will clear up on that.

[Ridge]

Good stuff, please keep it coming. This show is for everyone and I want it to be a round table type resource for ALL of us. So if you have any questions, and ideas to discuss, please let us know. Also, please plan on calling in to us, we want to hear form real everyday affiliates.

I'm not sure if this would end up being too technical, but I'm pretty sure it would be useful to people:

How to improve the load time of a website - Maybe a down to earth explanation of some of the things Page Speed suggest that you do.

Edit: Maybe you could teach people a bit about how to increase the chances of getting natural links, and build sites that other people will actually want to link to.

[chowner]

ahh yes...the page speed...nice to bring that up too..if you guys remember, matt cutts last year in november at pubcon mentioned that this year site speed will be one of the ranking factors as well (quite a small portion but it still counts).

[Michael Martinez]

I would hold off on Caffeine discussion. Google disputes the reports of Caffeine being launched across those data centers. They say it has not rolled out yet.

[doovde]

I'd like to see some discussion about the length of time it takes for a brand new site to really come into fruition. Ways to identify that you are on the right track and how to deal with the fact that at first your site / sites are making little or no money.

[MJ]

Great subject Doovde. I'd love to see that discussion on there too.

the value of getting listed in directories like dmoz, yahoo, and all others, big or small; what is google latest stance on dir listing if any, or has it not changed recently.
