001: Marie Haynes on Google Penalties

Summary / Dan’s Comments
What a treat it was to have Marie Haynes as our first guest! Despite a few Skype troubles, we were able to get a info-packed session recorded.
If you’re someone who wants to be up to date on Google penalties and algorithms such as Panda, Penguin and more – you’re going to want to tune in and take notes. I should note the recording of this episode took place February 10th, 2016 – all info is accurate as of that date.
You can find our guest, Marie Haynes at https://www.mariehaynes.com/ and @Marie_Haynes on Twitter.
Onto the show!

PS – My audio quality during interviews does get better after the first two episodes!
