Dave Naylor: “SEO is like an artform” This week we will attend SMX London. One of the speakers in London will be Dave Naylor, one of the most famous SEO-experts in Britain. Through Skype Joost de Valk and Bas van den Beld had a very long talk with Naylor. You can hardly call these podcasts an ‘interview’. Because off Dave’s love for the subject we just kept on talking and it became more of a conversation between search-freaks.  Dave gave us examples of how you can switch between countries in Google and then search as if you were living in another country. That way us Dutch guys were able to see the way Microsoft Live Image Search works in the UK. It looks a lot better than in Holland I can tell you.  Dave also talked about the difference between Europe and the US. Naylor thinks it’s a lot easier to rank high in European sites than in US-sites. Simply because of the competitiveness which is bigger in the US. We also asked him if he can pick the next Google. He doesn’t believe its Baidu: “If the Chinese government wouldn’t sent Google users to Baidu they wouldn’t be that big”. Naylor has more believe in vertical search engines like Kidzui.com, een search engine for kids. Also he thinks Mahalo is not going to be the big hit of the future. He thinks its getting worse every day. “Its now already changing its goals. Before it was a ‘human search engine’, now it’s a ‘human how to search engine”. He also lets something slip about his old rival Calacanis. He mentions Calacanis and Paris Hilton have been more than just friends… Finally Dave tells us who he thinks are the most influential people in the industry. Next to Matt Cutts (Google) and Danny Sullivan (Searchengineland) he has a third suprising influential: his RSS Reader. Off course he also gives us some websites from within his reader we should read ourselves. Some quotes from the talk: The conversation can be listened to in two podcasts. With almost two hours of conversation about SEO it is a must read for the die hard SEO. CommentHow to bring your business to Ru...Fri 18 May 2012, Tamara Yadvichuk 0 comments  Finally!

Great listen. Have to agree with a lot of the points that dave brings up about the random site popping up in the serps for no apparent reason! Keep the series coming!

yes, I use the term: the ART of SEO from time to time, as I honestly believe that there's more to it then just technicalities ... there's this touch that's needed ... the only word to describe it is ART!
