I have been practicing Search Engine Optimization since 2006, a year out of high school. From the days when black hat SEO ruled the internet, up until today, and we all know the changes that has taken place in the search engines over the past 6 years.
I have experience and have practiced all forms of SEO from link building strategies, creating blog networks for specific industries, working with multiple departments like web development, product development, Editorial, Social Media and business development implementing SEO.
When I was first starting out in SEO I had no clue what I was actually doing. It wasn't until some years of practicing SEO that I understood it's power! I find myself optimizing everything, even the socks in my drawers, lol. I find that SEO is a powerful concept that should be applied to business and it will enhance you as a individual overall.
I do not know everything but I do understand the power of SEO and I am ready to take on the world (at least my world).
