Great to see you in here Ted

I am loving the idea of this site.

My real name is George, my handle on most internet things is either werty or wertrose.

I am mostly an asshat, but dable in the gray and white hats as well. I am known for doing PPC, but know a bit about SEO.

My CV:

1965: Born
1965 - 1985: Grew up. Kind of.
1985 - 1995: Can't really remember.
1995: Moved to London. Learned programming.
1999: Started messing about with other peoples web sites for a living.
2002: Discovered WMW and SEO.
2002 - 2005: Messed about with web sites some more. Started messing about with my own.
2005: Absconded from the 9-5. Nice. Forgot about web sites and starting drawing pictures. Drew lots, sold one, ran out of money.
2009: Started messing about with other people's web sites for a living again.

It's all starting to look a bit circular at this point.

It's kind of bizarre (in a nice way) to see all these old nicks again, some of whom I know personally but many of whom I don't and some of whom I just glanced off one or twice. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.

yo Paul - still playing the fiddle?

[Paul F]

Hiya Col, good to see you! Yeah still playing a bit, much to my neighbours' chagrin

[martinibuster]

Roger. Doing a fair amount of link building for clients and self. Been obsessed with freshwater fishing lately though.

Where's the bar?

>freshwater fishing

Hey MB good to see you here! What are you going for? Trout, pike?

[ASPD]

hi and thank you for the invitation 

I'm Marina, Bulgaria - also known (though not very much) as ASPD. I don't know almost anybody here, but this is a mistake I can hopefully correct. Couple of years  of experience, I worked for some time in a corporate environment, recently I quit and started working on my own. I do mainly link building - for clients and on occasion for myself. Have some natural tendency to spam by night, but I'm trying to keep it down

greetings,
m.

Hi Marina - welcome to our den of iniquity

[Rumbas]

Hey Marina, welcome to the forum

WOW This feels like I'm in a time machine and landed 10 years ago.  All the old names and faces.  Very cool!

Started as a spammer back in 1999.

Started consulting in 2002.

Got bored fast so started a link sales company.

Then kinda fell off the radar and mostly worked my butt off as a mommy.

Now back part time and having fun with figuring out the latest trends.

Looking forward to catching up with everyone again!

Welcome Marcela, nice to see you here.

Welcome Marcela, Marina, BOL, Oil, Tedster, and anyone I have missed. It really is like a time warp.
