Bio
Jon Rognerud is a recognized authority on SEO (search engine optimization), web development and search technologies. He has spent more than 15 years creating and managing small- and large-scale web marketing projects within the real estate, healthcare, banking, legal and internet business communities.
He writes passionately about search marketing and takes a "no sales pitch here" approach to showing small businesses how to succeed online. He believes that good, solid business fundamentals coupled with a sound internet strategy will always do well.
Coming from a technology centric background with a keen eye towards marketing, Jon has helped companies reach their online goals, working with such giants as Yahoo!/Overture and Microsoft. He co-created a patent-pending natural language search engine technology in early 2000 which was later licensed for use on Expedia.com.
Jon personally believes in the "value first" principle, helping people get educated about search engine marketing, and assisting in creating strategic and tactical plans for winning business online. He's currently building a next-generation SEO software service to help small business create a competitive advantage and roadmap by understanding their own marketplace before launching expensive online marketing campaigns.
Jon's search marketing website contains a lot of useful tips, e-mail courses, marketing articles and anything you'd want to know about search engine optimization. His "SEO Gone Wild" blog adds additional insights for readers who are in need of simple but effective advice to get visibility online. He's always ready to answer search engine optimization questions, and especially if it's close to the beach in Los Angeles, where he lives with his family.
