<p>SEOassassin is my first blog (though it may not be my last). It covers several topics of interest to me, including SEO and affiliate marketing, to a lesser extent, plus stupid stuff which I regularly come across whilst doing SEO research in odd corners of the WWW.</p>
<p>I am now full time as an independent SEO consultant. I&#8217;ve been doing consultancy work on and off for a couple of years, and have been involved in SEO since 2001. I have currently manage a mix of long-term strategic contracts, and short-term, issue specific projects.</p>
<p>I started off at <a href="http://www.webmasterworld.com/">Webmasterworld</a>, back in the days when you could read every post, every day (and if you&#8217;ve been there recently, you&#8217;ll know that dates me!). I&#8217;ve been drifting more and more into SEO ever since, with a side order of affiliate marketing, and a dash of PPC for dressing. I&#8217;ve also been priviliged to meet many of the top names in the industry, and attend some great events, like <a href="http://www.seoroadshow.com/">SEORoadshow</a>, and <a href="http://pubcon.com/">PubCon</a>. Until fairly recently, I was one of about half a dozen people in the world with a 100% attendance record for PubCon - the appearance of SmallTroll has curtailed my easy, globe-trotting lifestyle somewhat <img src='http://www.seoassassin.co.uk/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  and I&#8217;ve been too sleep-deprived to stand the legendary &#8220;bribe-the-bar-staff&#8221; sessions so beloved by RCJordan.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve attended a few smaller, private events here in the UK, mostly organised through <a href="http://syndk8.net/forum/">Syndk8</a> and <a href="http://www.a4uforum.co.uk/index.php">A4U</a>. Those are interesting for different reasons, you get to meet people outside of the &#8220;normal&#8221; SEO circles, which I believe is always a good idea. A considerable fraction of my recent clients have been affiliates, needing additional SEO support, or even just a second opinion.</p>
<p>In case you were wondering, I do currently have some time available for additional clients, or one-off projects. I offer SEO and affiliate marketing consultancy and training, both on-site, and report-based. On-site consulting is available by arrangement, in most areas of the UK. I also offer a telephone consulting service, charged by the hour at £30 / hour. I can make that available to international customers quite easily, so long as you don&#8217;t mind being invoiced in Sterling.</p>
<p>I normally charge between £500 - £1000 / day (depending on the exact nature of a given project). I can offer discounts for longer-term contractual commitments, or alternative remuneration options for people / companies with good ideas about how we can come to mutually benefical arrangements (equity deals, high quality links, service contra deals etc). I&#8217;m flexible, talk to me <img src='http://www.seoassassin.co.uk/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />
