Stay tuned to hear Tyler talk shop with Rand Fishkin, the CEO and founder of SparkToro, which streamlines user insights for marketers. Rand and Tyler discuss the dangers of Google’s new FLoC program, which addresses privacy problems but has little consumer benefit. The two consider the importance of Rand’s article that discusses the implications of Google searches that end with Google-authored results rather than independently created sites. Rand worries that this trend will lead to diminished content creation even though Google is making the user experience more efficient.   Tyler and Rand ultimately examine the importance of underrated marketing channels like podcasts and the power of influence marketing. Rand’s key takeaway is to identify what media your competitors aren't using, and then buy low, and sell high. So join Tyler, Jon, and Rand for a perceptive glimpse into the world of marketing privacy, Google's continued domination, and the future of untapped marketing channels.   Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction 00:56 - What’s in the News: Accurate Targeting Opportunities Expand for Marketers on Audio Platforms 07:19 - Featured Guest: Rand Fishkin 10:21 - Rand’s Opinion on the Google vs. Apple Privacy Battle 12:29 - What is FLoC? 19:30 - Rand’s Google Results Article 27:40 - Are Paid Ads a Necessity For Every Marketing Campaign? 32:13 - What is the Most Underrated Marketing Channel Right Now? 45:33 - How Do You Get a Site Ranked High on Google? 51:00 - Implications of the End of Facebook Insights 54:40 - Rand’s Next Moves 57:40 - Rand’s Key Takeaway Featured Guests | Rand Fishkin LinkedIn SparkToro What's In the News  Accurate Targeting Opportunities Expand for Marketers on Audio Platforms Lion’s Share Marketing Podcast Learn More About Tyler & Jon www.tylersickmeyer.com  Need Marketing Help?  www.FidelitasDevelopment.com Music Intro Music – Colony House – Buy “2:20” on iTunes Outro Music – Skillet – Buy “Lions” on iTunes
