Cebu SEO

SEMMYS.org with their continuing legacy to honor this year's best posts in Search Engine Marketing. Headed by Matt McGee himself, has put together a great list of the top online marketing posts from 2009. There are a lot of great articles to read into (all of them, perhaps).

For 2 years in the SEM industry, I haven't yet heard of this kind of event to honor the great content produced across the search and online marketing industry. Now, it's time to spread this to all SEM practitioners not just in Cebu but all over the world!

A few friends of mine queried on what's the real nature of my job as an SEO Specialist, especially when they knew that it does not correlate with the field that you took up in college. So, I simply answer, "Google it!" Seems like I'm not exhibiting courtesy and politeness with them, perhaps for some! But others, would really demand for an answer that they will understand right away even in their average world wide web knowledge, and i.e., in leyman's term. Maybe I could try to react verbally that "SEO is Google Optimization"? 

Some people even generally tagged SEO practitioners as spammers and not even a career, maybe they don't treat this as a profession where you need a level of education. Yes, it's true that you only need a relative experience in SEO BUT not all in the field of SEO are spammers! Those are just people who are practicing Black Hat or Abusive SEO. Link Baiting is an SEO Tactic not spamming, you know?! I hope so...

Welcome to my newest blog! Blogging about my new hobby: Search Engine Optimization! A hobby that turned into passion or a very time-consuming yet valuable profession! Cebu SEO will features all the Five Ts (Techniques, Tips, Tactics, Tweaks and Tricks) I've learned while I was with various clients, working in outsourcing business companies and supportive colleagues and online friends in the past two years.

I thought, “Why am I writing this post or making this blog?”

Well, the short and simple answer is that I want to provide meaty content for this blog. Advanced SEO theory stuff. And Cebu because, it is home to several BPO companies that perform SEO and SEM services, and a considerable number of individuals who work in these fields, in fact the city has become the major BPO destination.

But, the underlying problem is that I have a conflict of interests. I’m no longer just doing SEO for my websites and blogs (or personal clients). Working for an  SEO Outsourcing firm, I have to be a little more cautious in what I share now than before.
