Today I have the immense fortune to have a chat with Jason Acidre, a search strategist based in Manila. If you want to learn more about him, you can read a lot of great SEO and online marketing tips on his blog, Kaiser The Sage.
In this interview, he’s going to tell you a lot of things, even for the very first time the girls he likes in the SEO industry.
Ok, let’s go.
When did you enter the SEO world, and why ?
I accidentally became an SEO on February 26, 2010 – that’s the date when I was first hired to be an SEO by an Australian-based SEO agency, and I didn’t know anything about it, even what SEO means during that time! I needed the money that time (because of I have to, for my son), so I tried searching for a writing job, then I emailed this agency, as I saw their job posting on craigslist, then when they emailed me back, they asked if I’ll be interested to work as an SEO for them instead of being a writer (they thought/feel that I’m fit for the job), so I said yes.
I tried to learn everything that I think I needed to learn about the job, all the basic stuff (I remember how I was amazed when I first learned how to create an anchor text for a link, haha), while doing the actual work. They provided me with lots of resources, so most of my days are spent reading those materials (ebooks from Marketing Sherpa and a lot more) and working (7 days a week, just to catch up with my teammates). Then after 2 months I got fired – but was immediately hired by Affilorama, where I think my true journey began. That’s pretty much all of it 🙂
