Last time we have interviewed the creator of Crazy Egg, KISSmetrics and Hello Bar. Today we present you a SEO Guru.

Rand Fishkin is best known for creating Moz (former SEO Moz) – a popular SEO platform offering inbound marketing software, tools and resources.
He also co-founded inbound.org – the community for marketing professionals.

Rand is very popular because of his blogs, where he shares his great knowledge: the official Moz Blog and his personal Rand’s Blog.
I guess you might have heard of Whiteboard Friday – a series of short videos, full of valuable insight, made by Rand and his colleagues.

Rand lives and works in Seattle. Privately he travels a lot with his charming wife Geraldine, who describes their journeys on her blog.

Rand’s Top Web Apps

Here are the top web apps Rand Fishkin uses and recommends:

• Gmail – “for almost everything in my life, personal and professional”
• 7Geese – “for intra-company OKRs, 1:1s, feedback, etc. at Moz”
• Fresh Web Explorer – “for tracking mentions and links about myself, Moz, and projects I care about; it’s vastly superior to Google Alerts”
• Followerwonk – “for Twitter analytics, connecting to new people, and improving my use of Twitter (which is my primary social network)”
• Google Analytics – “for web analytics”
• SurveyMonkey – “for designing surveys, collecting data, and aggregating feedback”
• Bitly – “for tracking my social sharing”
• Wistia – “for my Whiteboard Friday videos”
• Pocket – “to collect articles I read later (usually on plane flights)”
