No.1 SEO Engineer & Search Marketing Expert in Australia~ Professional SEO/SEM Specialist for over 15 years ~My pre-SEO Foundation: My first computer experience was in the mid 1980's; by the mid 1990's I had somewhat evolved into a computer geek. I later acquired a a tertiary education in Psychology, Philosophy, Advertising & Business/Marketing Management. Setting the Scene...During my secondary and tertiary education, mid to end 1990's, I actually found myself opposed to adopting alien languages, spending countless hours hand-coding computer programs & scripts. I turned to innovation, contemplating who or what would be able to deal with the the explosive growth of the Information Superhighway. Pre-Millennium Sparks...The 1990's saw rise of the almighty ISPs (Internet Service Providers) which caught me be surprise. There I was, surrounded by endless racks of computers, servers and highly-skilled individuals with computer traits. The combined intelligence on our office floor was mind-boggling, add music and art and we now had seemingly endless self-propelled inspiration! Round about the same time, these two guys that were bored at university decided to come home to hang-out in there garage, void of status-quo and free to plug away on their computers. They started talking about "search engines" again, only this time, it was serious!Tech-based Advertising = SE0:Back at the ISP in Sydney, I was chatting with the programmers, discussing new ideas that could help the business community achieve success when they launch their e-commerce websites straight after the Y2K. Having found some sparkle in the notion of push vs. pull marketing, the answer dawned : upon me. Optimising websites to appear at the top of search engine results: "website optimisation for search engines", or just "search engine optimisation". I immediately registered the .com.au & .net.au domain with the abbreviation SEO > www.seo.com.au
