Shownotes Searchcowboys on Webmasterradio - episode 14

Wed 18 November 2009 11:00, Editors

For the first time Bas and Roy did the show on Tuesday night at 7PM Amsterdam time. This new time of the show will give more people the opportunity to listen to the show live and join in in the chatroom. This show was shorter than usual because of the new time and the fact that Roy was on the phone and didn't have internet. Still they discussed some interesting topics!

Did you miss the live show? No worries, you can listen to the podcast below or at webmasterradio or download it. The shownotes are below. We are now also to be found on iTunes! So subscribe to our podcast and you'll never miss one again. The shownotes are below.

The Google Bomb is back
It seemed to be solved but it now has returned: the Google bomb. President Obama now is the target of a Google bomb on the keyphrase "who is the failure". Google still needs to 'fix' this bomb.
