Wow, time flies when you’re having fun! Before my first SEO jobs I had never heard of search engine optimization (SEO) and never even considered how AltaVista and Lycos determined why one web page was a better match to my query than another. I don’t even think I used the word “query” back then!

Today I’m a full-on SEO evangelist at work and outside work for a number of reasons:

  • I believe in ethical SEO and the value it brings to an organization’s brand and bottom line
  • I believe it improves the search engine results
  • I find it very logical and many times optimization is very much common sense
  • It is a dynamic industry and the search wars make things very interesting
  • Most of all, I find it very satisfying to see the results of my efforts for my clients and my own sites

The goal of the BeantownSEO blog is simple. Connect with other SEO nerds in the area, vent about industry happenings, and display some of the work that I’ve done.
