Link Ranker Marketing

SEO & Internet Marketing Consultant

Oct 2000 – Aug 2007 Vancouver & Gibsons, BC, Canada

Role & Background

Founded and operated an SEO and internet-marketing consultancy serving small and medium-sized businesses in British Columbia and beyond.

  • Combined search-marketing work with web development, ecommerce consulting and custom application projects.
  • Developed online solutions including ecommerce systems and accommodation availability and booking applications.

Origins

Turning early search-engine work into an independent consultancy

Link Ranker grew out of the SEO work I had begun at Discover Group in 1999. After leaving that full-time role and moving to a quieter part of British Columbia, I continued serving online-gaming clients independently and gradually expanded the consulting work into other industries.

Because SEO at the time touched site architecture, content, link development, server behavior and web development, the consulting practice naturally overlapped with technical work rather than existing as a purely marketing function.

Search & Web Consulting

Technical SEO, site architecture and online business systems

Client work included technical and on-page SEO, content and site-architecture improvements, link development, performance analysis and broader internet-marketing advice.

The same relationships often led into web development, ecommerce and custom online systems, which later became a larger part of KrisTarr Technology and subsequent consulting work.

Have a technology problem or opportunity worth discussing?

I’m always interested in worthwhile technical problems, projects, leadership roles and collaborations where broad hands-on experience can be useful.
