The Four Horsemen of the Web Marketing Apocalypse – Rand Fishkin
Web marketing isn’t going away, but four forces are combining to radically change how we’ve approached our work in the last ten years.

Rand Fishkin discussed what we need to know to stand out in the years ahead.

SEO tips for bloggers – Caroline Geven
Who needs SEO as a blogger? That’s what Caroline Geven, marketeer at Yoast, thought when she started her own blog two years ago. The answer to that question is a definite: every blogger should focus on SEO! This talk focused on the how-and-why with important SEO tips to take your blog to the next level.

In September 2014 she joined the company as a software developer without any idea what the Yoast SEO plugin even did or what SEO was supposed to do.
