January 13th, 2010 Stephen Tallamy 5 comments

Robert NicholsonFor our first SEO.BIO of 2010 I though I’d turn to another in-house SEO friend of mine, Robert Nicholson. Rob works for Easynet Connect and can often be found where other London-based SEOs gather (SES/SMX London, LondonSEO, etc). He’s a really great bloke with interesting experience working in mainly B2B SEO.

October 20th, 2009 Stephen Tallamy 1 comment

A couple of weeks back I had the pleasure of attending “Future Of Web Apps” in London. The event was extremely well organised and very good value.

Ever since Hannah Smith did her SEO.BIO I’ve had a song in my head. If you are a regular listener to the Chris Moyles show on Radio 1 you may know of the “Barack Obama Song” which Chris sung on the show (basically him repeating Barack’s name over Kasabian’s L.S.F).

Richard Baxter

Whilst Stuart continues his obsession with trying to get the ladies to reveal all (he did a pretty good job getting Chelsea to tell us what she likes to do with a boom mike), I thought I’d try to keep things a bit more balanced and invite another bloke to give us his SEO.BIO.

Why I should win a MacBook Pro

July 28th, 2009 Stephen Tallamy 6 comments

macbookAnyone who has been following me will know that I get easily wrapped up in competitions that involve winning a MacBook. First came #moonfruit and this week it’s all about #mpora.
