  • Ymc Interactive
    Owner
    Ymc Interactive Jul 2002 - Apr 2007
    YMC interactive was a SEO, SEM and affiliate marketing company.Our business model was to create technology that automated white hat and black hat SEO techniques to generate traffic to send to affiliate and contextual advertising programs.YMC interactive was a technology innovation company involving identification of strategies to achieve high rankings in the search engine results of google and other search engines. Technology was used to automate of processes of web site and page creation. Each web site and web page was optimised to rank well in the search engines for a keyword or a keyword phrase. The technology easily scaled to allow the auto-production of websites, each page ranking well for its assigned keyword or keyword phrases.This technology automated the process of domain identification, delegation and set up on the server, coupled with automatic site production, each page targeting an individual keyword phase. This system, at its peak could produce over 100 sites per day, each site containing in excess of 10,000 pages. 75% of produced pages were indexed by google.The second technology was an automated blog and ping system creating sites that were vertical or category specific RSS aggregator sites. Integrated in the site production suite was an RSS aggregator, creating pagination pages and actual content pages. In addition the sites aggregated on topic content from free article providers, alongside an auto populated blog. The use of auto-notification of all newly added content was set, utilising the auto RPC Ping at a site and page level. These sites also leveraged Digital Point Text Link Ads to automatically generate back links, and improve the depth of Google indexing of the site.These technologies were eventually sold in a private sale for an undisclosed fee.
  • Decide Interactive
    Production Manager
    Decide Interactive May 2000 - Jul 2002
    I was the second employee of Decide Interactive. I was hired as senior search engineer, tasked with making doorway pages for clients using Web position Gold. I remember sitting in the office till 10pm with Paul McCarney, trying to finalise the structure, format and data of the First client report for our first client – McGrath. This report was created by log file analysis – it was a long time ago. While this growth was happening, I remember a conversation with Paul McCarney, Justin Viles and I where we on the day after the concord crash, 25th July 2000. We were complaining about the lack of information in SE’s about this recent event. The outcome of this conversation was that I called the Inktomi office in Sydney. A week later, Paul and I had lunch (in The Oaks) with the sole Inktomi representative in Australia. A month later, Inktomi executives from the US came to the Decide office. Out of that meeting, Paid Inclusion (recently defunct) and Trusted Feeds were born.Over time, SEO staff grew from 2 to 7 and my job title changed to Production Manager and Technical Lead for SearchThe advent of trusted feeds allowed the business to expand into the PPC arena. This was happening when Google released Adwords, and I remember doing keyword research and ad creative for our first Adwords Client – Roses Only.By the time I left to start my own business – Decide Interactive had exceeded 25 employees running 150 SEO and PPC clients. I was responsible technical implementation of SEO and PPC for all clients, and was Account Managing 70 clients.
