AG Breaks Into New Territory [New Contributor]

Jack Leblond, In-House SEO Guy

Please welcome Jack Leblond, the newest Agent Genius writer. Jack isn’t a part-time SEO kid in a coffee shop and he’s not a self-appointed king of the SEO world, no, he’s legitimately a SEO/SEM professional that works for a large corporation full time. He is not a Realtor and doesn’t pimp houses in any way shape or form (although he does live in one).

Jack has an extremely impressive background ranging from Sonar Technician/Instructor for the United States Navy, technical writer, pioneer in intraweb creation for McGraw-Hill and Times Mirror Higher Education. He was an Adjunct Professor for eight years at two Universities teaching web-related courses, and for ten years devoted himself to Net Smart, a company he co-founded where he managed networks, oversaw hundreds of sites’ development and worked with Cold Fusion technology.

Not Your Stereotypical SEO Type

On a personal note, we recently had coffee with Jack who we quickly learned wasn’t your typical pocket protector wearing SEO nerd with a superiority complex, he’s very down to earth, quite funny and has amazing insight as to how we can all make our websites better. He’s very approachable and isn’t here to sell you anything, rather to engage us all to help our sites and businesses. We invite you to engage him in the comments of his articles, send in your questions and feel free to gain as much knowledge as you can from Jack.

Many of our readers know a lot about SEO while others don’t yet know what “tag an image” means, so Jack will be giving tips at the most basic level all the way to expertise level SEO. This summer, Jeff Turner coined the phrase YEO (You Engaging Others) as a supplement to SEO and while we’ve covered YEO quite deeply over the last months, we’re ready to learn more about the technical underbelly of websites. We are very excited about all that Jack has to share with us, so please welcome him in the comments!
