Text of the recording (via):
Olivian Breda, an expert in search engine enhancement, also underwent little professional training, while showing a keen interest in the new field:
“I specialise in search engine enhancement and I work as a freelance consultant for several companies. I begin with an analysis of my customers’ websites, I then collect all links to my customers’ sites and modify the site structure and contents, so that search engines have the best net-surfing capacity. I also provide customers with postings on social networks and I carry out search engine enhancement training courses.”
Before embarking on his complex and challenging profession, 28-year-old Olivian Breda started off as an avid internet surfer in 2002. He now loves what he is doing and hopes to draw more people to this sector:
“My job consists in helping certain searches have very good returns. Customers need these services, but I believe that there are still very few service providers in Romania. This new sector still calls for a lot of development. There is customer demand, but the professionals’ offer is still low. I believe this job has great prospects and we could expect a boom on this market.”
On september 16th and 17th, I went to WordCamp Romania (read all about it). There were even some contests at that event, with (ta-da!) prizes. Lucky for me, I took part at those contests and won a free theme for my blog provided by WP Zoom. +Continue Reading
At the very first edition of SEO PPC World, I held a presentation on using the Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn social networks.
You can see an online video at Trilulilu.
The online presentation is available at SlideShare.
You can download the presenation in the following formats: PPT, PPTX, PDF.
Dear readers, it’s been been a really nice 2009 for me, and I hope 2010 brings happiness to your life.
I want to share with you the blogs I constantly check out about Search Engine Optimization. If that’s not too much trouble, I’ll call this my gift for you for 2010.
If you wish to see other stuff I read on the Internet, see this blog post.
On 14th of December I took part to a show on radio Lynx (OnlineShift) with Ciprian GAVRILIU. The subject? How does the typical Romanian user browse the Internet. Below the video and audio recordings, in Romanian.

It just hit me why I like Twitter just so little: it’s because of the instant communication not being all that important to me. Let me detail on this.
Let’s take news: I read the news once a day, in the evening.
Let’s take articles: I read the blogs I follow through RSS feeds once a week when I’m not all that busy and less than once a month when I’m very busy.
Let’s take physical newspapers: I am the only person I know that can read newspapers from 2005 and see this as a perfectly natural thing. Magazines that are old? This is obvious, but I also read old newspapers.
Now let’s get back to Twitter.
An astronaut gets into space. We have two options:
a. I can read his Twitter to find out updates sent from space as-they-happen in less than 140 characters messages (CNN on this story);
b. I can wait until he gets back to Earth, and until he writes an article or a book on his experience; This can be detailed, with emphasis on analysis, rather than on-the-spot events.
If you think I prefer a., you are wrong. I’d much rather see an analysis in detail, even if it’s 3 months old, rather than some obscure as-it-happens list of events.
By the way, I also read my friends’ Twitter updates only once a week, so no news in here either.
I consider analysis to be with a lot of quality content, while “news” from Twitter has little relevance to me.
So – it’s not Twitter, it’s me.
I still like Twitter because it’s a great place to find out great resources, and if I wish to find out what’s buzzing the world, the Hot Trends thing is great.
In this blog post, I’ll show you a presentation I held this week-end, regarding the structure of a web site (related to the keywords). The basic idea of this blog post: if you have a set of keywords to optimize a web site for, how would you structure the information on the web site? Find out below. +Continue Reading
First of all, a history of events. Sometime in 2007 (I think), a brand new web site emerges: Human Brain Cloud. You can see a YouTube video of this in here:
1. Human Brain Cloud;
2. And an article about it: “Human Brain Cloud “proves” we think about sex more than money”
Nearly 800,000 associations have been submitted so far, connecting over 100,000 unique words and phrases.
What stroked me most about the difference between the two?
1. Google had merely improved on the software design; The graphics were much better on Human Brain Cloud;
2. The functionality and the structure behind the two are much different (Human Brain Cloud depended on human input, human associations, human thinking of the issue, while Google’s system is based on algorithmic comparison of human data);
3. Google’s data is obviously much larger;
4. I’m surprised that no one else saw the connection. After all, this is a mind connection by itself.
____________ Bottom line: I can’t say I like any of the two solutions better. I work on generating keywords in my Search Engine Optimization tasks, but both ideas seemed worthwhile. But I can say that I expect Google’s solution to grow, while the Human Brain Cloud stopped functioning sometime in 2008.
I am writing this blog post with one aim only: to help you, my reader, have a glimpse of what basic SEO is. I’ll also show you, at the end of the article, what full SEO means. +Continue Reading
I’m two days away from making a full year working as a Search Engine Optimization specialist at Webvertise. Prior to that, I worked as an Internet marketer (a job which included SEO tasks) at Cratima. And making a full year of experience as SEO made me wonder, starting from a quote by Marius Deak:
If after one year on the Internet you’re an “Internet addict”, after two years “internet specialist”, 3 to 4 makes you “consultant”, six years is “internet guru”, what’s me after 15 years?
And I think he’s right: one year in an Internet field makes you an “Internet addict”. SEO is a new industry, and having one year of experience is a good thing.
Bottom line: one year in the Internet field makes up a few more years in other fields (so you can develop yourself better after one year in SEO than as more years in other fields).
