Google Webmaster Trends Analyst Gary Illyes joined Bruce Clay for a candid chat about topics vital to SEO, including content for mobile, Gary's dream of a world where everyone employs HTTPS, and the reality of the Phantom updates -- plus plenty of talk about penalties and algorithm updates.

• We are "months away" from the next Panda update
