SEO and Stuff

This is just a short intro about who I am, and what my blog is going to be about. This blog will be about SEO, webmastering, gadgets (because they're cool), and whatever else I think worthy of my time to write about.

A short bio:

I've been doing seo since the start of june. I started by researching hard, hitting forums, blogs, tutorials, e-books, movies, mp3s, and basically anything i could find about the topic. Some of the highlights were SEO Book, and a link building course at SEO Research Labs.

I've been working on doing SEO for one insurance company that has several websites (and we're building more). Prior to starting work here i had absolutely no experience with SEM. Anyhow things have been going pretty well.

I've been doing paid website design for 3 years now and i'm totally self taught.

I'm living in shanghai and enjoying myself quite a bit here. With a rather small salaray i can live pretty damn well. Hopefully my salary will increase with the site rankings.

Blog Plans:

I want to figure out if anybody is actually coming to view my blog, and if there is maybe ill make my own page for it. Later i'm planning on creating a couple tools which should be hosted someplace, and my blog is as good as any.

My take on where SEO is going:

Links, titles, headings, and content are most important.

SEO is an up and coming job, and will be at the core of web marketing.

We're going to be seeing degrees, in the next few years in this field.

There are too many directories, directories dont give as much link juice as other sites.

Bought links will be worth less and less to serps

Unique content will become of greater importance as SE's have better spyders
