You saw part one where I interview Rand Fishkin on the early days of SEO and his journey starting Moz and then leaving that company to start SparkToro. Now, in part two, we talk about his thoughts on Google’s anti-competitive practices — a topic he may do a deeper dive in his keynote address at our SMX East event.

We spent a nice amount of time talking about how Google has grown and the steps the company has taken to secure their hold in the search market. We even touched on some of the missed opportunities Microsoft’s Bing made during this time.
