The European Union and Google aren't the best of friends right now. Late last month, the European Commission issued its largest ever fine, demanding $2.7 billion from Google along with a change to its shopping comparison practices. Google, of course, is determined to appeal the decision and fine.

According to Reuters, that fine may soon look small if EU antitrust regulators decide to punish Google over its anti-competitive practices with regards to Android.

Following a complaint by lobby group FairSearch, the European Commission charged Google last year with shutting out rivals on Android. More specifically, the practice of requiring smartphone manufacturers to pre-install Google Search and the Chrome web browser. If that isn't done, Google may choose to lock those devices out of other services such as Google Play. The Commission is also not happy with Google paying to ensure Google Search is the default on devices.
Before the potentially huge fine can be agreed upon, a panel of experts has been set up and asked to review the case. This will form a second opinion and help guide the Commission not only on the size of the fine, but also what action Google is required to take going forward.
It's those actions that could end up being the most damaging for Google. They could include allowing a choice of default search, the ability to install alternative app stores meaning Google Play is no longer guaranteed on the majority of devices, and similar rules for other Google-owned services that you typically find on new Android phones and tablets.

There was a time when knowing how to program was for the geekiest of geeks. That’s not exactly the case today. As most entrepreneurs, freelancers and marketers will tell you, learning how to program can help you succeed. Over the past year, I've been learning to code. It's helped me to become a much better entrepreneur -- I can dive in when my team needs to fix a few bugs on the site. You don’t even need to shell out a ton of money or put yourself in debt to learn how to code, either. These 12 places offer coding courses for free:
1. CodeAcademy
One of the most popular free places to learn coding is CodeAcademy. In fact, more than 24 million people have already learned how to code through this educational company’s engaging experience. At CodeAcademy, you can dive right in and take courses that teach you everything from HTML & CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, Python and Ruby.
2. Coursera
Founded in 2012, Coursera has grown into a major for-profit educational-technology company that has offered more than 1,000 courses from 119 institutions. While you can pay for certain programs to receive a certificate, there are a number of free introductory programming courses in various specializations from universities such as the University of Washington, Stanford, the University of Toronto and Vanderbilt.
3. edX
EdX is another leading online-learning platform that is open source instead of for-profit. It was founded by Harvard University and MIT in 2012, so you know that you’ll learn about cutting-edge technologies and theories. Today, edX includes 60 schools. You probably can’t go wrong with the free Introduction to Computer Science from Harvard University.
4. Udemy
Founded in 2010, Udemy is an online learning platform that can be used as a way to improve or learn job skills. While there are courses you have to pay for, there are plenty of free programming courses, which are taught via video lessons, such as Programming for Entrepreneurs - HTML & CSS or Introduction to Python Programming.
5. aGupieWare
AGupieWare is an independent app developer that surveyed computer-science programs from some of the leading institutions in the U.S. It then created a similar curriculum based on the free courses offered by Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Berkeley and Columbia. The program was then broken into 15 courses: three introductory classes, seven core classes and five electives.
While you won’t actually receive credit, it’s a perfect introductory program for prospective computer programmers.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a complicated strategy with many interconnected components, including sub-strategies like content marketing, link-building, and social media marketing. Though it’s relatively easy to pick up SEO basics, and some website building options come with SEO features automatically enabled, the strategy is still technically complex, making it a good idea for you to work with a professional if you want to seriously rank in search engines.
The question is, what kind of professional do you want to work with?
You have two primary options: First, you can hire someone -- or a team of people -- to strategize and execute your SEO work in-house (or as an independent contractor). Second, you can enlist the help of a specialized SEO agency, typically on a monthly-retainer basis. Pros and cons attach to each approach.
So, how should you go about making your choice?
The case for staying in-house
Consider the advantages an in-house contact or team can have over an agency:
1. Greater control
First, you’ll have more control over the strategy and execution of your SEO campaign. Most agencies have a long history of execution -- which is a strength in most cases -- but that also means they’re less likely to accommodate your special requests. If you know what you’re doing, calling the shots here can help you get the specific results you need faster, but the trick is to actually know what you’re doing.
2. Tighter coordination
In-house workers are going to be far more familiar with your signature brand standards, which means they’ll be able to produce content and messaging that falls more into line with your company vision. (Or at least they will do so faster and more reliably than an agency.) Having an in-house team will enable your other departments, such as sales and customer service, to fall in line with your SEO goals.
3. Immediate communication
Though most agencies pride themselves on fast, efficient, always-available communication, there’s no substitute for having someone across the hall. An in-house team is always available for your questions, concerns and basic conversations about your strategy.
The case for using an agency
Now, here are some ways an agency trumps in-house SEO teams:
1. Access to specialists
There are plenty of free resources to help you learn the basics of SEO, but it takes a long time to become a master in a specific area. Hiring a specialist or a team of specialists can get expensive fast, but working with an agency will connect you at once to people who are expert in many areas, generally enabling you to see better results for less money.
2. Greater accountability
Agencies have a reputation to uphold. Since most operate on a retainer, they know customer retention is pivotal to their survival, and they’ll be desperate to keep you happy enough to keep paying that monthly rate. They’ll also do whatever it takes to earn you a high ROI -- and to prove that ROI. So, if something goes wrong, they’ll generally get on top of the problem immediately.
3. Affordability
Many new entrepreneurs and marketers balk at SEO agency rates, most of which order in the thousands of dollars a month. On the surface, this may seem expensive, but there are two things to keep in mind. First, this rate is a substitute for a team of full-time workers, who, if permanent, would end up costing you far more than even the most expensive service plan. Second, don’t think of this as an expense: Think of it as an investment. In time, you’ll see a positive ROI, meaning you’ll bring in more revenue than you’re spending on your efforts in the first place.
Alternative options
Believe it or not, these aren’t the only two options you have. As mentioned, SEO is complex, so few strategic choices are black and white. For starters, you could forgo both full-time in-house hires and agencies entirely to focus on freelancers and independent contractors, who could piece together your strategic execution in different areas. But more importantly, you have the option of hybridizing your approach, declining to choose any single option.
