SEO Specialist Link it up, wrap it up, get it out there and get results – that’s what Alex digs doing for our clients every day here at seOverflow. Like everyone who’s found a passion for SEO, Alex started from ground zero via a Craigslist ad many years ago that was looking for “internet savvy” people who wanted to learn about search engines. Five years later and Alex is up there with the best we’ve ever come across in the field (and frankly, we’re glad he’s part of OUR team). He joined seOverflow based on the referral of an industry colleague and since Alex had already met Mike Belasco, he knew he’d be a cool dude to work for. It’s been a win-win situation for the company, Alex and our clients alike!

Geek Stuff: Associates Degree in Computer Science – ITT Technical Institute.

His favorite SEO problem to solve: Alex loves anything highly technical. “The tech-y stuff can be extremely frustrating but figuring it out feels great. Then the problem is easy to fix if it happens again in the future.”

Funniest thing his dog has ever done: His dog was playing in the living room and rammed his head into the wall, creating a huge hole. He kept playing like nothing happened.

Random fact about Alex: His favorite food is green chili and he loves heavy metal and underground hip-hop.

Favorite slang phrase: Shonuf!

Beginners Guide to Marketing Your Website

August 19th, 2010

There are lots of businesses that set up shop online without any clue of how to get customers. I see it happen all the time. A successful offline business decides that it’s time to put up a website, which is a great idea, and then they hire a web designer to build it. Once the site’s complete, they sit around and wait for the money to roll in.

It’s not gonna happen.

You have to market your website, just like you did for your business and products/service when you weren’t online. Just like putting up flyers on the light posts and signs in the grass, you need to get your website in front of your customers eyes. In the online world, there are tons of ways to drive traffic to your site.

There are so many different tactics it’s hard to name just a few and even harder to name one to start with. The types of activities you do to build awareness to your online business is different for everyone. It all depends on how much time you can dedicate and what type of business you run. Every tactic has varying degrees of success. One technique that is killer for one business might fall flat for another. You just have to get in there and see what you can do. Lets start with content creation.

Never Run Out of Press Release Ideas Again

June 28th, 2010

Press releases can be a great way to get some more visibility into your site, but it can be tough trying to come up with press release content when nothing exciting is going on.

I find that hard to believe, but I guess it could happen. Actually in my case I’m working with a client that provides practically zero input into their marketing strategy, so I have to make do.

So what should you do now? Read More
