the-pulse-icon.jpgThe fifteenth edition of the Search Pulse has now been archived. I sat this show out, since I was a bit jet lagged but Ben and Chris did an outstanding job. They had Debra Mastaler of Alliance Link on the show as a guest. This week, they talked about the recent search marketing blog awards. They also discussed the PPC versus organic listing question. DMOZ was the guest topic, where Debra dug into the link value and how easy it is to get a DMOZ link. There were many other topics discussed.
