FINAL GUEST: How marketing and SEO have evolved in 11 years with Rand Fishkin

What still works, and what was overhyped Hello SEO beasts.  Kate Toon here – your once SEO-obsessed, slightly odd host of The Recipe for SEO Success. Today is a big, squishy, full-circle moment. After 11 years of recording (with a few gaps), 200 brilliant guests, more than 500,000 downloads, and thousands of fabulous humans taking my courses - we've arrived at the penultimate episode of this podcast. And who better to help us cross the finish line than my very first guest, the moustachioed maestro of marketing himself: Rand Fishkin. I'm keen to hear how Rand thinks the marketing market place has changed over the last decade or so. What he misses, what he's glad we've left behind. Also, where he thinks we're heading in this world of AI? We're going to talk beyond blue links and into the messy, magical world of podcasts, newsletters, communities, and those shadowy corners of the internet where great marketing quietly happens.  Let's get stuck in.
