Customer Reviews
Very good content based podcast
As a newbie to SEO and not interested in spending thousands on SEO workshops, this podcast offers valuable information for free because the hosts are people using these SEO strategies every day. I look forward to every new podcast and thank you guys not for wasting my time by just selling me your company's services. Thanks from NYC.
Good content except for commercials
Yes the commercials are lame and annoying but the content is good and they don't spend too much time screwing around like other webmasterradio podcasts
Podcast is way over commercialized
The commercials in this podcast are way too long and frequent which makes them really annoying. The content is average and the podcast tries to sound professional and ends up sounding amateurish. I won't listen to this podcast anymore.
