We introduced the show with a look at how the industry including Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Ask.com and SEMs commemorated Halloween. I gave some insight from my stay at Yahoo! two weeks ago where I was shown first hand the new Panama ad system. We discussed the Did-It SEO versus PPC controversy. We also discussed dozens of other topics. The topics we covered are listed below, in order of priority (based on search community buzz).

Ben, Chris and I were all ready to present the Search Pulse tomorrow but we were informed that all shows with the exception of Danny's Search Cast, will be postponed until next week.
So next weeks show will have about 3 weeks worth of topics.
I am sorry for the last minute notice.
WebmasterRadio.FM will be live from Ecom Expo all day long from Tuesday through Thursday.

The sixth edition of the Search Pulse has now been archived. Tim Mayer from Yahoo! was our special guest. Tim told us that we can expect support from Yahoo! on the NOODP tag, but it would be a lot more time for us to see support of a new META tag to opt out of using the Yahoo! Directory titles in the search results. Other topics included Google buying YouTube, Porn found on Google News home page, several SEO topics, Google's pinging service, code search, Yahoo's Panama release in the UK and much much more. The topics we covered are listed below, in order of priority (based on search community buzz). You can download the MP3 file here and listen at your convenience.

The fifth edition of the Search Pulse has now been archived. We had two special guests on this show. Matt Cutts from Google came on two discuss what he would ask a Google engineer if he was an SEO and he also commented on the new Google Reader. I then brought on Daniel Read, the Vice President, Site Product Mgt & User Experience at Ask.com to tell us why he feels SEOs should care about the Ask.com search engine. Other topics included a Google Maps bug, the PageRank update, Google's 8th birthday, some discussion on what types of links can hurt your rankings, a Google Analytics message and much much more. The topics we covered are listed below, in order of priority (based on search community buzz). You can download the MP3 file here and listen at your convenience.

Matt Cutts of Google has agreed to come on the show here and there to talk about one or two of the topics we covered the past week at the Search Engine Roundtable. Matt Cutts will be live for the first time on The Search Pulse this Tuesday, between 5pm - 6pm (EST) October 3rd. Currently, I do not know exactly what time Matt will be on exactly, but it will be between 5 and 6pm during the show.
I have one topic at hand that Matt will respond to directly. I only am giving Matt 5 minutes max to talk about the topic. Then I may ask Matt one more topic and then move on to other topics without Matt.
It is possible that we get other guests on from different search engines during the same show. I am working on Tim Mayer from Yahoo, Jim Lanzone or Gary Price from Ask.com and Ramez Naam from MSN (now Live) Search.
The goal is to get a bit more information directly from the "horses mouth," if you will, on the topic at hand.
One thing for sure is that I won't reveal which topics we will discuss prior to the show. I also won't be telling you in the future when these guest will be coming on the air. My goal is to have at least one search engine representative come on for at least five minutes each show. Who will it be? When will it be? Will there be several representatives? What are the topics? All questions I won't address prior to the show.
Why? Because (1) the content is fresh, we only discuss topics that are less than one week old. I may not know until a few hours before who will be on the air and what topics they will talk about. (2) I like the element of surprise.
So here is a free one... Matt Cutts on The Search Pulse this Tuesday, 10/3 between 5-6PM (EST). At that time, go to WebmasterRadio.FM and click on the listen now link at the top left of the page.

Just a reminder that the much anticipated Search Pulse will be live later today at 5pm (EST). Ben, Chris and I will discuss the hottest topics of the past week. I hope to drive some arguments and controversy, but we will see.
More details on the show here.
Also, it is a slow day in the forums, well, technically, yesterday was a slow day, I covered most of the weekend topics yesterday.
Update: We now have ourselves an icon for the show. It is listed on the Our Shows page at WebmasterRadio.FM.
Currently the descriptor of the show reads;
The PulseHost(s): Barry Schwartz, Chris Boggs, and Ben Pfeiffer
Time: Tuesday @ 5pm EST GMT - 5
The Pulse with Barry Schwartz and co-hosts Ben Pfeiffer and Chris Boggs covers search topics that receive the most buzz from within the search community. Each Tuesday, The Pulse will recap those important search topics in a roundtable style format, allowing the hosts to debate and argue some of the latest trends and stories in the search industry.
Getting excited, but I have this annoying cold today, hope it goes away.
Update: Posted archive podcast here.

Finally, Finally, since wanting to do this since April of 2005, we will be launching our PodCast! In conjunction with WebmasterRadio.FM, we will be starting our show this Tuesday, on September 5th at 5PM (EST). The name of the show, by popular request, is "The Search Pulse."
The Search Pulse will have Ben, Chris and myself chatting about the most popular search topics covered over the past week at the Search Engine Roundtable. It will be unique in that we won't cover any search news. We only cover news and search topics that deemed important by the search community, which we figure out from the search marketing forums. Also, the show will differ from other shows in that, the method of discussion will be a lot like one of those political round tables shows or news shows. Where you have a moderator asking experts (in our case, Ben and Chris) their thoughts on the topic at hand. Kinda like Bill O'Reilly's show but only on search.
After the show airs and is archived, I will post a link to the podcast and I will also provide links to the topics we covered during the show. Much like how Danny Sullivan does the Daily Search Cast recaps.
Finally, we currently do not have the final artwork for the show, nor do we have the official show opener, as of yet. I am told this will all be finalized prior to this Tuesday.
Any comments, suggestions, questions about the Search Pulse? Feel free to comment below or post in Search Engine Roundtable Forums.
Update: Posted archive podcast here.
