Top SEO Podcasts by Edward Sturm
David Quaid – hailed as the King of SEO by Edward Sturm and others – is one of the top guests and most viewed SEO experts on the famous Edward Sturm show – the #1 SEO Podcast
| Rank | Episode | Why it stands out |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Can You Rank on Google Without Backlinks? Legendary SEO David Quaid Answers | The most comprehensive David Quaid conversation currently surfaced: 1 hour 14 minutes on backlinks, topical authority, programmatic SEO, internal authority flow, engagement, AI publishing, sitewide quality, subdomains vs. subfolders, forums, EMDs, and long-term site architecture. . |
| 2 | David Quaid call-in / search “black box” episode | The show listing describes a David Quaid appearance focused on how Google, Bing, and AI-powered tools retrieve and rank content; why pages fail to index; and which SEO rules are myths. It is the best short-form choice if you want systems-level SEO thinking rather than a single tactical topic. |
| 3 | Topical authority / “Magic Pill in SEO” episode | Best for a specific tactical hypothesis: republishing or restructuring an underperforming URL after a site has developed stronger topical authority. Edward says he applied the idea to move a previously non-ranking page to #1 in roughly two weeks, though that is a single reported case rather than a guaranteed outcome. |
| 4 | James Dooley & David Quaid: The SEO Best Practices We Ignore | Potentially worthwhile if you prefer a multi-expert discussion on commonly overlooked SEO practices. Search results identify it as an Edward Show episode featuring both Dooley and Quaid, but I could not verify its detailed agenda or runtime from an official episode page. |
