I had the pleasure of meeting Topher Kohan in Las Vegas at Pubcon 2009. We didn’t get a chance to talk shop but I instinctively knew that Topher was the kinda guy whose brain I wanted to pick. He is the SEO Coordinator at CNN.com, a news site with astronomical amounts of both text and video content. If that doesn’t give someone serious SEO street cred then I don’t know what does.
I finally got a chance to catch up with Topher and ask him a few questions about his profession and craft.
How did you get started in SEO?
When I was ...

Before Christmas we had the pleasure of interviewing Manda Otto. Manda is the Senior Communications Manager for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Describe how you first got started in Internet Marketing.

As Senior Communications Manager for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, what does your typical day look like?
Right ...

After just recently launching the SEO Dojo to the public, and winning the Top Rank Blog’s best paid subscription based SEO community, we thought we’d catch up with our good friend David Harry.
How did you get started in Online Marketing?
It was a somewhat odd journey for me to get to this point. Originally, back in the land of bricks and mortar, I took courses in business admin and marketing… which I was then employed in the construction industry as a manager/consultant. I’ve always enjoyed creative endeavors as well as numbers (yea, actually ENJOYED accounting).
Then, in my early thirties, I met ...
