Hello Dave

Welcome capone!

Awesome...

Your gimp suit is over there in the corner... meet mackin in the back room for orientation.

In Keeping with OP I'm an old SEO and web designer guy who is originally from the UK but has upgraded to Florida where It really rains, none of the half measures drizzle.

Welcome Vectorite!  From the UK to Florida, and an old SEO & web designer.  You seem to have the Core covered.

Gang please welcome Vectorite.

I met him in another group, he is a sharp seo, also gearing up a local seo business. He is also a joomla specialist.

We've worked some tools and strategies together, he's the real deal. In mackin terms, I've had phone with him.

Any friend of Dras is welcome here.

Welcome Vectorite

Welcome

Here's a hello from Canada! 

Hello and welcome Vectorite. Where in Florida are you? I am in Jacksonville.

What's up guys. I landed here by way of a friend and mentor from a seaside town in East Sussex. I'm from the wine country and also Yosemite in California. I left the horrid world of commercial insurance and also SMB IT and fell back on my hobby of IM and SEO  a couple of years ago. I had to start over and had no savings but couldn't stomach another job in that industry so I got busy selling myself in the SEO world to clients who suited the wee skill-set I had back then.

It has been sink or swim ever since and I'm right proud that I have survived and had some good victories by spending a couple of years staying up late and hungrily seeking seo truth. I don't like reading too much bandwagon seo for the most part. I'm more interested in harder questions and getting an edge.

I have accumulated significant amount of experience and insight in local seo that I can contribute if that's valuable to anyone. Outside of SEO,  I mostly keep to myself online and don't represent what I do in forums and am not active in social media except in a few private groups and with a few individuals.

My other primary interest is photography which I've done professionally and if / when I retire from SEO, I'll be doing commercial photography. I tend to have a teasing sense of humor and I've spent a great deal of my life growing up around Aussies so I can take roughness.

Here's a welcome from Canada!

>> insight in local seo

Yes, YES please! :-)
