UofA SEO Leaders

It’s official; the Student SEO Syndicate is now an official U of A Club. Major props to our new executive board members, Juan Pantoja (Tresurer), Stephen Roda (VP of Search Marketing), Alex Screven (Secretary), Roey Chasman (Webmaster) and Joey Winnicki (VP of Internal Operations).

In our Search Marketing department we welcome Travis Marr (Affiliate Marketing Lead), Zak Lorenz (Graphic Design Specialist), Nathan Gamerford (Link Building Specialist), Ryan Nelson (Programming Specialist) and myself, Charlie Leathers (Text Editor). Positions still open include, Programming Specialist, SEO Guru, Client Relations Coordinator, Social Media Specialist, Campaign Manager and a Keyword Research Specialist.

Working with the Internal VP and leading our recruitment effort is Elliot Rosenfeld in the Management Department. Missing positions in the management area are Information Manager, Meeting Coordinator, Corporate Relations and Lesson Planning.
The members who stepped up to fill these positions are taking on a monumental task. I for one am excited to work with each and every one of you, we had some good minds in the last meeting and I’m sure we will do awesome things. The workshop and guest speaker this Tuesday should really be an amazing experience. With that said, lets get to work and recruit some members to fill these gaps in our syndicate.

SEO, John Allen

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a relatively new field of study that is in essence a new style of marketing for companies. With the advent of the Internet and the virtual shrinking of the world, any person located any where with an Internet connection is able to promote their business and products. SEO is one tool that is just beginning to be used to its potential. Individuals and communities of online forums and blogs pour hours into learning new processes and techniques to use for promoting their clients to the top the search charts. By relating keywords to websites of interests, people have begun to make large sums by promoting websites to their proper cliental.

            One individual, John Allen, has 25 years of sales and marketing experience, which involves file-sharing technology in his earlier years, a product he sold to Microsoft in 1998. He then worked with WireSpeed Communications process of taking advantage of the marketing possibilities available with Search Engines. During the 2000’s John has worked with many other companies and is making a living selling his SEO and Search Engine Marking skills.¹
