SEO 101 is on BlogTalkRadio.com/SEO-101

I’ve been designing and building websites professionally since late 1994, which in Internet years is like “since the dawn of time”. I specialize in rebuilding under-performing (or just ancient) websites and relaunching them, while preserving existing inbound links and search engine rankings.

I’ve worked with a variety of verticals, including Media (TV/Cable, News), Health/Medicine, Alternative Medicine/Homeopathy, Manufacturing, Professional Associations and with several Non-Profits.

I’m based in Chicago, IL and provide consulting in the following areas: search engine optimization, web development and online brand and reputation management.

In addition to consulting and speaking, I’ve been operating Lafayette Online since July of 1995 (you read that right… 15 years). Lafayette Online was originally part of the Internet Service Provider I ran in the mid-90s, and was spun when I sold my ISP to a larger ISP in Indianapolis. They didn’t want to deal with maintaining a city guide for Lafayette and West Lafayette and I didn’t want to give up the site, so I kept it and have been maintaining it.
