@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

I was given the task of SEO trainee – too bad that the SEO manager resigned just a week after I got in – leaving all the SEO work to me

And true enough, some of my tests worked. I got my blog to PR 3 then PR 4. And it’s ranking on a wide scale of keywords even until now.

HOW SEO HACKER WAS BORN

(AND HOW IT GREW)

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

SEO Hacker as a website was born April 2010 – just a few months from my college graduation.

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

By this time, I was already a bit knowledgeable about SEO because of the strategies I tested out in my God and You blog (h3sean.com).

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

SEO-Hacker.com I bought

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

SEO-Hacker.com (whose name was inspired by a blog I was

following then – lifehacker.com)

I bought

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

SEO-Hacker.com (whose name was inspired by a blog I was

following then – lifehacker.com)

I bought

and built it as a ‘knowledge-base’ blog

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

SEO-Hacker.com (whose name was inspired by a blog I was

following then – lifehacker.com)

I bought

and built it as a ‘knowledge-base’ blog

I simply blogged about the new things I was learning about SEO

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

I was doubly inspired by Copyblogger.com on how they were posting such great copywriting tutorials and helping out a lot of people become better bloggers.

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

I worked hard in HP – learning how a services company should provide great services to clients – and the penalty of it if we don’t.

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

“I learned to do things in a timely fashion and to work well with a

team.”

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

Then someone from our local church invited me to do SEO for him – he was a third party.

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

So I went to work – but I was convicted because the website was a gambling website.

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

I then asked God if what I was doing was glorifying to Him and I told God that if it wasn’t – He would take it away.

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

God was faithful and he took the project away…

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

Leaving me with nothing for half a month.

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

I went to Hongkong with my dad and I met a girl there whose uncle owned the biggest scuba diving liveaboard fleet in the Philippines.

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

She referred me to her uncle and that was my first major contract. I was gutsy enough to pitch the contract at almost $1,000 and the company agreed.

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School

THE REST, AS THEY SAY, IS HISTORY

@SEO_Hacker SEO Hacker School
