SEO Employment

Posted in Blogging, Employment, News on February 28th, 2008 by Chris Estes – 1 Comment

Since the middle of January I have been in search of fresh employment.  I choose to focus my attention onto my passions and experience in IT and SEO.  After making a few trips around the US interviewing and sharing my skills I have found a fit in New York City. 

New York City?

Though I am not yet releasing the name of my company… I can share that they have a long list of powerful clients and they have recently launched a new marketing initiative that will incorporate me!

Why are you just now making it public?

Typically I keep these things separate from my personal blog.  A couple days ago I made the career and location change public with a mass e-mail and post on my personal blog.

Due to the pending changes…

In my life I am sure that my frequent post will become even more infrequent.  That is where you come in.  If you have a post that you would like to make I invite you to contact me and we can discuss.

Stay tuned for future updates and to my personal blog for more updates on the move.

Social Media is Marketing

Posted in Blogging, SMO, Social Media on January 13th, 2008 by Chris Estes – 2 Comments

Social media, or social bookmarking, has been a big fashion for quite sometime. But, What’s the hype?

As a search engine marketer I can tell you that social media is marketing. If you have ever been to sites like StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit, or Mixx you have noticed most of the content is geared towards selling something. Whether it be promoting the iPhone or a political candidate it is all a sales pitch. Original intention of these sites was an arena for information sharing. Marketing job boards are riddled with postings for marketers with blogging and social-media experience. Social media has become the new avenue of marketing. I have not seen a major university put Search Marketing in the course guide, I am sure it will eventually be an elective or maybe even a requirement.

Blogging with Adsense – Does it Really Make Sense?

Posted in Blogging, Marketing, SEM, Search Engine Advertising on January 9th, 2008 by Chris Estes – 2 Comments

A couple of weeks ago I posted about putting Google Adsense advertising on my blog to offset hosting cost. I am now reconsidering having the ads. It isn’t a matter of being an activist, as one stumbler accused me of on my personal blog, it is more taking up room with useless clutter. Although, the announcement of Adsense changing its commission polices does make it more appealing.
