Starting in early 2019 I’ll be publishing interviews with industry experts focusing on Content Marketing, SEO, Social Media, Blogging, Technical Marketing, Email Marketing and much more.
I’ve been podcasting for around 3 years and ran a popular digital marketing tips podcast for quite a while but it eventually ran its course, the tips got harder to think up and I started repeating things. It had come to a natural end.
There are so many marketing podcasts out there I didn’t just want to do the same thing. A lot of the podcasts are experts talking to experts and the conversation sometimes carries too much detail for the everyday marketeer or business owner who’s working on a budget and doesn’t have a huge team around them.

PODCAST: Website Redesigns & 301 Redirects. Don’t lose your traffic!
This is the first of hopefully many short podcasts on SEO and various aspects of digital marketing and I hope its useful to anyone planning a website redesign.
Last year I spoke to 11 companies who had lost most of their search engine traffic due to website redesigns and so far this year I’ve heard from two businesses, one of which lost over 90% off their traffic. The one thing in common was that 301 redirects were not set up before the website went live.
This quick five minute podcast explains what 301 redirects are and why you should use them.
