Hi :)

My name is Andrew, I'm a pom from Hampshire, England living in Melbourne and working as an SEO. I'm the newly appointed SEO Manager at ratesonline dot com dot au - an Australian home loan and insurance comparison website.

Outside of the day job, I run a few monotized domains that I am growing. I also like Football (Soccer), support the mighty Brentford and I like Marmite (sorry).
 
Welcome Andrew. Good to have another SEO person on DNT.

So you're a Pom - and from Melbourne. That's bad. Both those demographics are outranking us proud Queenslanders. ;)

And you have bragging rights in the cricket.

Woe is me.

Cheers, Ned
 
Thanks guys :) Looks like a great forum and community here - hoping to learn a thing or two!

Hi Tim - I've only been doing SEO full time for 3 years so I'm in the infancy compared to others, however I invest a lot of time reading up on the subject and align my techniques with the industry pros. Kindly James added me to his 15 young Australian SEO's list last year :) Up to the end of last year I was managing an SEO team of 10 Specialists at a Melbourne based SEO company, but I fancied giving in-house a try at ratesonline.com.au.

The guys here are great. The SEO was in really bad shape and we've just started to turn a corner so I'm very excited about the year ahead!
 
Welcome, the more Seo Guru's the better

Can i ask is the searchbox on ratesonline your own design or is it via an affiliate tool

Love to know

many thanks

welcome to the forum and congrats on the new gig. I'm *kinda* looking for a job and would definitely rather do in-house than agency. I got jack of doing tip o' the iceberg agency stuff.

btw vegemite anyday of the week, and proper BBQ sauce over that HP rubbish you guys have over there :)
 
Hi Andrew, good too see you on here.

I actually work 3 days Agency, 2 days in House, and the rest of time working on other projects these days.

Kind Regards,

James Norquay
 
Jonathan - Hi! where are you working now?

spacey - the search box was designed and coded in house by our developer.

James - nice! do you work in house for one of the Agency's clients or several? I work 4 days in-house at ratesonline so on Fridays I (try to) work on my own stuff at home. I have been working on some of my websites, but I think I might start doing some freelance as well. Do you have any private clients?
 
Welcome, Andrew.

I see Brentford snatched an unlikely draw against the mighty Tranmere last weekend ;)

In fact I would have been there but had to leave the day before!

Welcome to DNtrade anyway
