It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that i write this, my first blog on Active Rain. Why such excitement and enthusiasm you ask? Well, the wonderous task of SEO has now been added to my job description.
I am the office manager for 1-800-GOT-JUNK? in Philadelphia. I have been doing SEO quite a bit for the past few months, getting my feet wet basically, posting to directories and replying to blogs. I assume that is normal beginner stuff. Now I am ready to dive in. I have my SEO Book tools, a consultant (aka a childhood friend with whom I have recently reunited with and who happens to be a proffessional SEO--CHA CHING!), and a pretty firm grasp of what exactly I am supposed to be doing. Shameless self promotion...of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? that is.
I start this journey, right here on Active Rain. I am looking at it as a journey much like that Lord of the Rings. Except, instead of taking the ring to Mordor, I am taking our junk removal site to number one on Google, while making a few friends along the way. There will be no smelly army of gouls to stand in my way as much as I will have to deal with my computer freezing as well as my fingers in this subzero office-- making it darn near impossible to type! My consultant, Ashley, is much like Gandolf the Grey, showing me the way to let my inner SEO shine. And I am Frodo, or Froda because I am female. I actually like Frida better as that is a real name, so let's go with Frida. (Coincedentily Frida Khalo is on of my favorite surrealist paintors). Anyways, I am Frida, the brave soul who only was just learning of her capabilities and talents. Oh yeah, I also have wide, flat feet too. Okay, okay, this analogy is a stretch, I know. But you get the point.
The thing is, I don't just want to get our site to #1 on the Google search (the precious). I want to know all I can about SEO. I want this to be something I can put on a resume with confidence. SO, with all that being said, if you have any suggestions, I am all ears. Elf ears that is. ;)
