My guest this stretch is Rand Fishkin. Rand founded SEO firm Moz and his latest startup is audience analytics firm SparkToro. On today’s show, we discuss the history of domain names as it relates to SEO. Rand also explains lessons he learned regarding naming from Moz, and how this shaped his naming decision for SparkToro. (As a bonus, get some additional color regarding Moz’s buyout of the Moz.com domain name!) Finally, we discuss Rand’s book Lost and Founder, a refreshingly honest look at starting and running a business.
