- Biography
I started out as a web designer/webmaster and began learning SEO and online marketing to promote my own websites. I read tons of blogs and hung out in forums like Search Engine Watch. I cut my teeth on some SEO techniques with my own sites, and I learned that blogs and forums are no substitute for experimenting yourself. SEO Book was like a Bible to me when I first started, and I still reread it every now and then.
In 2004, I landed a job doing SEO and SEM (and webmaster duties) for a small marketing company. I went to SES in NYC in 2005 and 2006, took lots of seminars there, and talked to many smart people. Recently, the marketing company I worked for decided to call it quits. Now I've moved on to a much larger company with a wide range of SEO and marketing duties, and a nice big budget to play with.
I never really intended to pursue this as a line of work when I began learning, but I'm glad I stumbled into it. It's very cool to be part of such a young and rapidly growing industry.

Free Daily SEO Tips
Many people who get our free tools also sign up to get our free 7-days to SEO success series. This originally started out as a 7-part series, and over the years we have added about a dozen bonus tips covering a wide array of related business topics. We sorta started out as SEOs who learned a boatload about business and human nature in the process.
Day 9 is the one in the series I am most proud of, but we get a lot of feedback from readers who have different ones as their favorites, which helps inspire us to share more. If you ever miss a day, you can use the navigation in the lower right of the daily tips to catch up (or get ahead). And here is the overview page, which lists the entire series. Hopefully sharing that link didn't kill anticipation. ;)
Here is a bonus guide for figuring out the value of a top Google ranking.
Welcome aboard and here is to wishing you the luck and the hard work needed to dominate Google and your market!
