Good to read about this, what about this year’s predictions?

Hi Virginia,

On the whole, I thought that his predictions seem to be correct. Particularly about several different online marketing disciplines merging with one another. That, and the climbing importance of content, as anchor text seems to be getting the slow but sure boot.
