Malicoat -
Todd’s SEO marketing manifesto
If you’re gonna spend some time here, be sure to check out the best
stuff I’ve written. I am an marketing consultant and internet entrepreneur
and I love it. I currently reside in Portrero Hill in San Francisco, CA. I was
raised in Frankenmuth, Michigan, and formerly lived in Troy, NY (just outside
of Albany) and a small stint in Manhattan (I can’t wait to go back!). I’ve done
traffic acquisition, marketing consulting, affiliate marketing, search engine
optimization, pay-per-click management, ad buying, sales, business development,
public speaking and project management. I’ve helped to build a few companies,
and finally built one of my own with a few partners. I still do consulting for
a select group of clients, but tend to focus more on partnerships and performance
based equity deals these days, along with building out projects of my own.
This site is my attempt at documenting some of what goes on in the wonderful world of internet business and marketing with a bit of humor and sarcasm. Yes, I am available for marketing consulting with you on your website, or training or speaking engagements. NO I will not fix your computer (sorry, I’d probably do it more damage anyhow…run spyware search and destroy).
HOW DID I LEARN?
I spent near obsessive amounts of time on Webmasterworld.com,
and Threadwatch.org , as well as many
of the other great internet marketing forums and sites. Thanks to all the giants
whose shoulders I’ve stood upon to see what’s goin’ on in the wonderful world
of internet marketing. I’m lovin’ the view. I’m now a freelance consultant spending
my days between client projects and developing my own. If you have something
fun and worthwhile - or even just wanna drop me a note to say hi - please feel
free to mail - Todd /-\ t stuntdubl (dot)com

RANDOM STUFF
Here’s me with a big tall guy at the Guinness Book of World Records Museum
.
Me on Liberty Island in NYC
Speaking at WMW Pubcon X with a goofy grin
on my face.
I’m not sure when I actually got my first computer but it was definitely a
TI-99. I remember playing lots of
games and unknowingly programming some BASIC
loops at a very young age (and my programming skills have only marginally
increased since then). My uncle was a programmer at TI, so we got several great
hand-me-downs. If you want the real professional work history - My
Linkedin profile is a good spot for that or you can check out the schnazzy
third person bio below:) Todd has been creating websites since 1997, and started
doing SEO and Internet marketing in 2001. Formerly an Internet Marketing Consultant
with System And Market Services of America (SAMSA) in Saginaw, MI, Todd has
done project management and internet marketing for several dozen small to medium
size businesses and a handful of larger corporations. He completed a dual-bachelors
degree program in Computer Information Management/Business Administration from
Northwood University in the summer of ‘03 after completing his thesis on Planning,
Developing, and Promoting a Successful Website for Small Business, while
simultaneously running an independent web design and consulting firm Meta4creations.com.
Todd was formerly the Vice President position with the Great
Lakes Web Professionals, and is an occasional contributing author at SEOToday.com,
and maintains an Internet consulting journal
at www.stuntdubl.com. Somewhere during all this excitement I managed to ski
and snowboard Mt. Hood
and the Rocky Mountains a couple times, jump out of an airplane, and do some
deep-sea fishing in Florida(repeatedly)
and Salmon fishing in Oregon.

I listen to a lot of kid rock.

I’m doing the great round robin of SEO experts and you’re in the dog-pile. I’m looking forward to hopping out of web development and into the little ventured area that is SEO very soon.
Thanks for your contribution, it’s brilliant! btw, grey is still a shade of white…

Hope to build an e-commerce site that rocks and have fun doing it. With any luck I will be shopping for SEO in short order and will certainly give you a shake.

MyBlogLog Contest WhoreBait Winners Announced - Tech Mentat
February 28th, 2007,
4:45 am
[...] February 22, 2007 // February 16th, 2007 at 12pm marked the end of my MyBlogLog Contest and all I can say is “WOW, What a wild ride it has been!!!” Since stealing the idea, I have been excited (dare I say, Die Hard charged!) with the overwhelming response that my contest has received. Honestly, I never expected so much positive growth over such a short period of time. To give you an idea of what I am talking about; when I started this contest I only had 22 members to my community and now, after whoring myself out to the general public, I have a total of 28 community members. Fucking A’ Right Whorebaiting works!!! All I have got to say to dissenters of search marketing is “Look Who is Laughing Now, dickweed!” I could go on and on about how much fun the past few weeks have been; the people I have met (you would have no idea who I ended up having a heart-to-heart with at 3am - their last name ends in Steve Urkel), the friends I have made, the parties, the dress barn, the gap… and, OMG I can’t forget, the chap stick contest where we all sang Meatloaf and pretended we were in comas (will you guys ever forget? – my safe word was feeding-tube). It’s been the best parts of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride - but we are here for the winners today. So let’s get to the prizes. First off, I would like to thank Mr. Ethan Hayes (pictured below) for helping me select the winners. The process for selecting the winners was quite complex but I will try and break it down quickly. First I printed out my community members pictures onto a single piece of paper (yes, it’s harder than you think). Then I cut each picture up into its own “square” (square is in quotes because I can’t cut straight). I then placed the community squares (which henceforth I will call communion or body of christ) in a cup. Lastly, I had Ethan Hayes select a random body of christ from the cup and place it my mouth… and by mouth, I mean, he held it up so I could take a picture. Winners Runner up: SEO Fox What Did He Win: The Runner Up will be granted permission to publicly state that we are “going steady” for one full month (permission ends on March 16th, 2007). I will be watching - you’ve only got a month, so make good on it! First Place: Stuntdubl What Did He Win: The Winner of my drawing will receive 1 Nerf Football signed (autographed) by me personally as well as 2 framed 8 x 10 pictures of yours truly. Here’s the best part – both photos will have ME holding YOUR Nerf football so you know they’re authentic! If you want to claim your prize that email me your delivery address at mybloglogwhorebait@gmail.com (yes, it is a real address). So there you have it Gents. Enjoy and Good Looking Out.
