David - Search Engine Marketing

I am here for Networking

About Me


I spent several years as Canada's top-quoted consumer advocate, before moving to the country when our first daughter was born (Little Lady). Now we also have Little Sister. :-)
From Public Relations to Search Engine Marketing
I have taken my public relations knowledge and applied it to the Web, helping my clients get their messages across through search engine marketing and increasingly through social media. I run a search engine optimization (SEO) and marketing (SEM) company .
Worth noting is that I also specialize in multilingual SEO. To that end, I finally got around to putting up our Spanish website: Servicio de Posicionamiento - alta en los buscadores . We also specialize in SEO content creation, with dozens of writers in our network.
Hopefully I can help you grow your business.
More Than Just Search Marketing
I also run a couple hobby businesses. The main one is a happiness and personal growth website , but also a Vitamin supplements store and a free-submit travel directory . Of course, SEO/SEM skills are important to promote each of these, I seem to be spending most of my time on my clients, so I tend to neglect my own websites sometimes (hence the term "hobby business").

Business for Search Engine Success

I am mostly here for business networking in a fun environment, where there are no pressures, just a chance to be helpful.

I want most to meet people who want to make their small business big. People who are interested not just in keyword ranking, but in getting their message out, bringing people to their website and making the experience a joy for their visitors. A happy customer is a paying customer. :-)
