I’m minding my own business, doing my SEO ‘thing’. Thinking “I GOT THIS”.
And then Mike King drops an article like this one called “The Technical SEO Renaissance“.
In it, he uses words like “critical rendering path”, “inverse document frequency” and “angular JS” – and I don’t know about you, but maybe you feel a bit behind, intimidated or overwhelmed?
Seems like, per usual, SEO does not stop, and there’s always so much to keep up with.
Yet if we’re going to call ourselves modern SEO’s, these are all concepts we need to have a general understanding of!
So enter today’s guest … Mike King himself.
With a development background and now one of the smartest SEO’s I know, I invited Mike to Experts to shed some light on these modern technical SEO concepts in plain English.
That, and we chat about links, Super Bowl ads and even Hip Hop and more.
Enjoy!

I loved this episode and had to share it with a few contacts like myself who, despite not having super strong technical backgrounds, are constantly trying to improve their SEO abilities. Thanks for breaking it down and making it easy!

I’m in the same boat as you, Dan. I had a solid technical background (but not a developer) I’ve read the blog post and seen the presentation live and some of it still needs repeating for it to sink in. I don’t know if it’s just that I hang around way smarter SEOs but when this stuff comes up I feel a little behind because I don’t get to deal with it as much with my clients. Thanks for putting this one together and thanks to Mike for taking the to explain in more simple terms.
