Currently (as of September 2011): I'm the director of editorial SEO at Yahoo! My job is to grow one of the biggest online audiences out there. I co-founded and run a financial research firm that helps investors and acquirers make sense of consumer web company valuations. This job combines my extensive online marketing experience (creating and running multiple campaigns, speaking at SEO conferences, writing a regular column for Search Engine Land, etc.) with my interest in financial markets. Previous job description: I help companies create an online presence. This means writing content for websites, and using social media to create buzz and draw in traffic. I view high-quality content and aggressive social marketing as a very cost-effective, high-ROI way to bring in new business. I also have experience in recruiting -- IT (desktop support to senior architects) and finance (quants, operations, compliance, trading, investment analysis, etc.). In my spare time, I invest. I try to find overlooked value (small- to micro-cap stocks with great assets and decent cash flow) and cheap call options on radical change. Specialties Research, writing
