Did you do our Search Marketing Quiz?

How well did you score?

Search Laboratory Search Marketing Quiz at Digital Cream

Our Search Engine Marketing quiz was the hot topic at TFM&A and Digital Cream this month. Everyone wanted to put their skills to the test and find out how good they really are at Search Engine Marketing.

Some left a little disappointed after finding their score was lower than expected, however with the average score being 4 out of 8 (3.8 to be precise) not many people excelled themselves. Only one person from both shows managed to get all the answer right!

Well done to:
