I say "more" because he just gave some suggestions in his "ukgimp blog interview" = http://www.ukgimp.co.uk/2006/04/08/danny-sullivan-interview/ My follow up interview question to that would be to see if Danny had any specific ways that seo-sem buyers could get "references" from people or companies who are not under "undo influence" of any kind to be positive or negative in their reference giving, and only tell the truth as they see it. Danny has always recommended that seo-sem buyers get, and fully check out, references. Hi Lee,

For your list of interview questions, I suggest you ask Danny if he has any more specific suggestions to improve the reputation of the Search Marketing Industry.

My follow up interview question to that would be to see if Danny had any specific ways that seo-sem buyers could get “references” from people or companies who are not under “undo influence” of any kind to be positive or negative in their reference giving, and only tell the truth as they see it.
