Comparing SEO Business Models

One of the great things about SEO is that it allows you to see many lenses on busi­ness that you can’t nor­mally see with most other pro­fes­sions (out­side of per­haps some­thing in high finance or man­age­ment con­sult­ing any­how). One day you are build­ing a boot­strapped busi­ness from scratch won­der­ing when it will make its first Dol­lar, and the next day your on the phone with McK­in­sey con­sul­tants or an exec­u­tive from a for­tune 500 com­pany talk­ing strategy

Introducing Our New Editor

I men­tioned a few days ago that we have taken on board a new site edi­tor for Design Shack, and I’m pleased to intro­duce him to you today! Joshua John­son will be tak­ing charge of the news and tuto­ri­als pub­lished on the site, and it should lead to some fan­tas­tic new con­tent. Read on to find out a lit­tle more about our awe­some new edi­tor! Put sim­ply, I’m a cre­ative. I know “cre­ative” is typ­i­cally an adjec­tive but I’m using it as a noun because it con­ve­niently envelopes every­thing I do (and it sounds a lot bet­ter than “nerd”).
