Up until this point, even though the new GAKT version was live, Google gave you the option to use the previous one. As of today, the old tool is gone for good. The new one tends to display SIGNIFICANTLY lower keyword search volume numbers, which brings us to the question which is on everyone’s mind right now: which numbers are (more) accurate?

Chef managed to put an extremely interesting concept on the table: DNCruise will be the industry’s first conference held on a boat, a boat which will be leaving out of the port of Miami on the 11th of October and will return to Miami on the 15th.
