I like to work primarily in the search marketing world of music, commercials, TV, and movies.  Many people don't know what guys like us do; basically I am on the technical side of PR and design internet systems to distribute Press, PR and Media. 

Professional pedigree wise, I am an executive level Director of Search Marketing / SEO director with 15+ years of experience in internet marketing and system development .  I have an extremely heavy entrepreneurial background in the internet space and was one of the founding partners of Techistry Inc. Some of my skills include social media platform architecture, SEM website infrastructure and large scale website community building. As a hobby I like to do some astroturfing.

 Ask Me A Question

Pricing for SEO services.

SEO Pricing is a rather complex question to answer as a projects size can be small or a massive full time undertaking; depending upon on the needs of the account. In any case, I have provided some base line prices as I have seen in our industry, but these can be much higher depending upon the size of the campaign.   Below you will find my SEO pricing chart as well as the going rate for in-house SEO's and outsourced marketing services. Note, the prices I have established for hiring an SEO director or search marketing manger assume a highly competitive market or large scale established website.

What is political Astroturfing and Why It Matters For Controlling Public Opinion and Getting Elected.

I get questions all the time from candidates, political parties, and pac's. First Astro-Turfers are hired guns, not typical grass roots blogger. Second the Democrats / progressive movements are typically better at using social AstroTurf techniques and use them all the time. However, we are starting to see more and more Republicans in the game.  Third while some of noise or outrage you hear is real , much of it is not real.
