Hi Folks – My name it Todd Friesen but you might know me as Oilman. I’ve been online doing SEO since about 1998 and I am currently the VP of Search at Position Technologies. It’s a great gig.
Previously I was the Director of Search at Range Online Media and got to work on some real excellent clients like Sharper Image, Nike, Neiman Marcus and Accor Hotels North America. Some would call me an expert in search engine marketing, and they would be right.
I am also former administrator at Webmasterworld, and a former moderator for Search Engine Watch. I also co-host of the popular SEO Rockstars on WebmasterRadio.FM with one of my best friends Greg Boser, and I’m lucky enough to be a regular speaker at Search Engine Strategies, WebmasterWorld’s Pubcon, SMX and other conferences.
Below is a list of articles I’ve written and some multimedia interviews I’ve participated in:
