The folks that built the books

Hi my name is David, algo-holic and the captain on this journey into search optimization and beyond (no, it's not into the Final Frontier). No, there will be no talking in the third person on this page, just the low down on an obsessed search geek.

I have been mucking about with internet businesses since 1998 and currently ply my trade in the world of SEO consulting for Reliable SEO. While I write and consult on a wide variety of internet business development projects, my passion is for search engines and those that are massing the world's information. Some would say an obsession....

You can find me blogging on the Fire Horse Trail, a home for waward rants and musings for nearly three years and 400 posts. It is somewhat more technical and a great place to go if you're past the core concepts.

Other writings on the web

Considering my handle, 'theGypsy', I do get around as you may imagine. When not on the trails I have also recently found a home for the less geeky works and bring a more informal brand of SEO learning on the Site Reference SEO blog.

Because one can't just stop there, you should also drop by Collective Thoughts where I share space with friends writing about social media marketing and social networking.
