Brains Byte Back

(Previously The Sociable Podcast) The weekly podcast looking at how our brains, psychology, and society are impacted by the ever-evolving technology that surrounds us. Every Monday we bring you the best stories and guests from around the world relating to technology, psychology, and society.

The Psychology of SEO

The truth is, Google probably knows more about us than some of our closest friends. We ask the internet search engine everything from "Is a banana a herb?" to "What would chairs look like if our knees bent the opposite way?" No jokes these are genuine questions Google has suggested.

In this episode, we will look at how our interactions with technology and what we search impacts the type of information we receive. In this episode, you will learn how the SEO industry is reacting to a change in our behavior, tactics they use to give results an edge and how AI stands to change the SEO game. To discuss this, I am joined by the senior SEO and content manager at Publicize, a digital communications service that creates PR packages geared for growth, Rudi Davis.

And for this week’s special feature we have Computer Says LOL, where we share a stand-up clip or joke relating to technology. This week we have a clip from The Laugh factory where a stand-up comedian compares his neighbor’s interactions with Alexa to a toxic relationship.
