Quickfire Vox Pop Q&A

Which previous Google algorithm change still keeps you up at night?

It’s not relevant today, but Panda.

Gun to your head… which do you prefer: content or links?

Content, all day.

What’s the most effective link-building technique you have used?

Surveys.

Is the skyscraper technique still relevant today?

I don’t think so. I think that anything that’s a ‘technique’ isn’t relevant on a mass scale.

What do you love most about SEO?

How weird users can be… You think they’re going to search one thing but you see something totally different.

How do you apply SEO principles to your daily life?

I don’t even know what an SEO principle is. I’d say my SEO principle is that users aren’t nearly as good at search as we think they are. I try not to make assumptions that everyone knows the same thing I do.

WFH life or Office life or Hybrid life?

I’m gonna go with Hybrid – but it’s hybrid for me, but WFH but from a coffee shop.

SEMrush or Ahrefs or Moz?

I can’t answer that.

Agency or In-house or Combo?

In-house… however, I don’t think most companies are able to hire in-house.
