Before social media managers,
before growth hackers,
before “SEO expert” was a job title,
we were there.
I'm Kind of a Big Deal on the Internets
A podcast about traffic, rankings, attention, and how people actually get found online. Hosted by David Brown and Brian Mark. Original hosts of SEO 101. Subscribe. Listen. Repeat.
Origin Story
In 2004, we launched SEO 101.
We talked about search when Google was still being figured out.
We shared what worked, what failed, and what broke sites.
We taught because no one else was doing it publicly.
The show grew fast.
Downloads hit numbers people still chase today.
Then the internet changed. So did we.
And Now...
Search is no longer just search.
Traffic comes from everywhere.
Rankings are earned across platforms.
Attention is the real currency.
This podcast is not about tricks.
It is about how visibility actually happens now.
We talk about search, yes.
We also talk about distribution, authority, media, platforms, and momentum.
If it drives traffic,
if it influences rankings,
if it controls attention,
it belongs here.
Who would we be without our Guests?
We bring on people who live in the real world.
SEO professionals who have survived every algorithm cycle.
Founders who built audiences before ads got expensive.
Comedians who understand attention better than most marketers.
Musicians who know how culture spreads.
Business owners who figured it out the hard way.
Scientists who understand systems, signals, and cause and effect.
These are friends.
These are peers.
These are people we trust.
No hype tours.
No surface level conversations.
