Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Internet Marketing & Domain Consulting

What have I been up to lately?

I've been busy doing research & product development for a client or two and taking on a good number of new clients needing SEO consultation. I decided to start actively taking on new clients to keep my skills fresh and to expand my network of people I enjoy doing work with and for. I'm a bit selective on who I'll take on as I believe both customer and provider should be a good fit. Although I can service anyone -- I really prefer to work with people in industries that are of interest to me and that want to create some great content as part of the overall plan.

I know I've been saying I'm about to put out some products (info) soon, but for real this time, the "_________ as a full time profession" product will be ready in a matter of 3-4 weeks tops. Here's a short list of what I'm working on:

1) Content Built By Your Vistors (old and new techniques and why you need to be doing it)

2) ________ as a full time profession (a comprehensive guide), and

3) High "Quality" Traffic and Link Building Strategies (and a review of the not so great techniques and why not to use them).

I can't mention the details yet as I'm still trying to convince myself to actually release these. After years of working for myself and collaborating with a very exclusive, small circle of internet marketing gurus types, I'm becoming a more "abundance minded" person. Many of the most successful people I've come to know have integrated this as a part of their life's philosophy and I'm a fan of replicating sucess... or I'm just becoming a hippie in my old age. ;)

Stay tuned...

I've been playing around with Ubuntu's linux desktop OS and decided to dress it up with some ubuntu 'ish beach wallpaper I shot a few years ago. Yes, you guessed it, I'm a big fan of anything to do with the ocean and a bit of an amateur photographer...enjoy.
