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 also run an offshore charter fishing boat in Miami FL.  I currently reside in Miami and have also spent over 4 years in Portrero Hill in San Francisco, CA.I was raised in Frankenmuth, Michigan, and formerly lived in Troy, NY (just outside of Albany) and also did a small stint in Manhattan.

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, including CollegeDegree.com which I co-owned and sold to investors as my first successful (partially) self funded venture.

I still do consulting for a few select clients, but tend to focus more on teaching and my own website with the rare exception being my love of fishing marketing (go ahead, ask me about the last nice fish I caught).  Even if your website is not about fishing – feel free to get in touch, and I’ll gladly point you in the direction of some great people who will be the best fit for your project.  Please just don’t ask me to create a 100 microsite strategy or rewrite your .htaccess files for you in your first email :)

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.  I attended over 40 marketing conferences throughout the country and abroad, and spoke in person to some of the greatest marketers alive today.  I’ve met some incredible marketing minds over the years, and there input and passion has inspired me to continue to learn about this craft that is both art and science and refine my own skills and priorities.

INTERVIEWS:

I’ve been quoted in Inc,InfoWorldWebsite Magazine, NY Post, Revenue Magazine, and others. Feel free to drop me a line if you need some insight on an article about search, or online business and marketing.

 

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:)
