SEO Long Island, Consultant, Company, Training, Search Engine Optimization

I have significant experience in digital marketing and in the past 15+ years I sold 2 companies and consulted for many. Lately, I have been providing digital marketing consulting services mainly to Long Island and New York companies with one goal, increase revenues. You can also check out my blog and LinkedIn page.

Some of my larger clients over the years

I have experience in pretty much all facets of business, but there are certain things I consider myself an expert in:

1. Internet Marketing – Being able to dominate Google is only getting harder. Here is a case study I wrote on a website that I own that has over 800 keywords that rank #1 on Google. This case study sums up my expertise in SEO. I don’t just talk the talk when it comes to Search Engine Optimization, I walk the walk with my own sites. Of course Internet marketing is more than just SEO… from social media to video marketing, there are many forms of Internet marketing. I have always been good at figuring out the best way for a company to grow online and of course executing that strategy.

2. Business Development – Some of the larger companies that I created partnerships with are… EverydayHealth.com, AOL, HP, Intel, AT&T, SAVVIS and IBM. I have the contacts to get access to pretty much any company I need. Other companies that I had discussions with for different partnerships are… Apple, Home Depot, Starbucks, Metro PCS, Lowes, 1800Flowers, NY Times, About.com, Research in Motion, Autozone and plenty more.

3. Monetizing Websites/Traffic – I have helped websites increase their online revenue and monetize the traffic. But there are always tricks of the trade and one of them is to drive traffic into a site on a performance based model (only pay for success), then monetize that traffic to eliminate the cost of the conversion. The goal is to be able to increase your customer without paying a dime in the end. Once you figure this out,  you can grow as fast as you want with no additional costs.

4. Traffic Generation and Performance Based Marketing – The ability to drive traffic is key for any online business. You do not want to just increase your traffic,  you want to make sure its quality. Some of the companies my team has worked with to drive and monetize traffic are… ADT, New York Life, Direct TV, ADT…

My experience with Canrock Ventures (2010 – 2012)

Today, I mainly provide Search Engine Optimization, SEM, social media, SEO training, traffic and lead generation, affiliate marketing and other Internet marketing services to companies on Long Island and New York City.

In 2010 I partnered with Canrock Ventures, an early stage investment fund on Long Island. Canrock is an incubator for start up technology companies. I was the CEO of SEO Pledge, a Canrock portfolio company, and was the Chief Digital Strategist for Canrock Ventures.

Live Wallet – The pre-paid debit card market is booming. Each debit card user is worth $400 to $600 in public markets. Here is a press release on the partnership with Matco Tools, who is owned by Danaher, Corp., a Fortune 250 company. I created a CPA marketing campaign to decrease the lead cost from $22 for each debit card user to $6.

American Health Journal – AHJ is a medical TV show that has been airing on PBS since 2002. The site will have over 10,000 medical videos. I closed licensing agreements with EverydayHealth.com, AOL, Newsday.com and YouTube partners.

HowToGetRidOfStuff.com – An article based “how to” site that dominates Google with over 1,000 keywords on page 1 Google – you can read Search Engine Optimization case study.

How I got started in my career (1998 – 2010):
I started my career in the web hosting industry. I started We Link You Internet Services in 1998 and merged it with EZZI.net in 1999. We jumped into the ISP business selling dial up service (remember dial up?), then we entered the co-location and dedicated server hosting business. After the company grew to over 5,000 servers, it was sold 2005 to Access Integrated Technologies, a publicly traded company.

In 2005 I joined FalconStor Software (NASDAQ:FALC) and created a new software-as-a-service division. The goal was to sell FalconStor’s software as a monthly service. This is where I took my business development skills to the next level and closed partnerships with HP, Intel, AT&T, SAVVIS and IBM. Each individual deal was worth over $10MM.

At the end of 2006 I started an Internet marketing company and grew it one client at a time. I help companies grow their online revenue by providing SEO, SEM, social media, affiliate marketing, blog & article marketing, video and other strategies. I grew the company until I met Jim Estill at Canrock Ventures in 2010 and they acquired the company. I was CEO of Canrock’s Internet marketing company for 2 years.
