Finally, our smelly pirates have captured one of the enemy! Join us as we interrogate our prisoner, Kent Lewis, and extract from him the location of his pirate treasure: the secrets of search engine optimization! Will our pungent privateers succeed in wresting these carefully concealed confectuals from their wily captive, or will the plank claim him first? The stakes have never been higher!

SEO, or search engine optimization, is an ever-changing field in content marketing. We discuss what works and what doesn't, and we also talk about why a spreadsheet full of magic keywords isn't helping anybody.

SEO and a bottle of rum!

Listen to this historic episode of the Push Pull Podcast with Joel and Kristen, where Kent Lewis has a conversation about SEO and all of the problems it caused. This podcast was originally recorded in 2014.

The tables are reversed when Joel and Karl take over as the moderator-hosts for this episode! Our fragrant buccaneers of marketing content discuss the decline of SEO and the hopeful death of bland, lifeless marketing content. How can good content be created? What can be done to create marketing copy that stands out amidst the sea of mediocrity?

Well, we have ideas. Perhaps it is time to honestly evaluate your target personas, embrace deeply technical content, or fearlessly abandon the stale voice of yesterday's marketing. Join us as we set sail upon the sea of meaningful, effective marketing content!
