Starting a new SEO career

Damn, I’ve been very busy this week. On Monday, I started my new job. I’ve been hired by a french SEO company based in Paris called Aposition. I’m glad I found a company that suited my needs and that has the same vision of SEO than me. It’s actually a big company, they have about 40 full time employees, including around 20 full time SEO specialists and consultants. I thought SEO was very shallow in France, I guess I was wrong – at least it’s not the case for this company.
One thing that I’m really excited about is that this company mainly work for big clients, whose sites contain thousands or millions of pages. For example, they have managed or are currently managing the SEO campaigns of half of the CAC 40 companies (40 most significant French public companies).

Therefore, their methods are slightly different from what I’ve been used to. When you manage ecommerce sites with million of product pages, your approach is more statistic and scientific.

This week has been more focused on introducing the firm, their methods, clients, and tools.

I really look forward to fully start managing the SEO campaigns of some of their clients, it should be fun.

Excellent news, Nadir.

Congratulations. I visited your new employer’s site, and it looks impressive. I imagine that they will keep you pretty busy with a client list like that. I hope you enjoy it very much.

Hi Bill,

Thanks. Yes, I’m really glad I’ve found them. I hope I will be able to share the stuff that I’ll be learning with them on this blog and also at cre8asite.

Well if companies are in competition, I see the “SEOers” as a community 🙂

We’ll have to meet for lunch soon to discuss your new opportunity. ; ) Ok, so a ‘virtual’ lunch will have to do for now. I’m interested to hear what is different in marketing toward e-commerce, as it will come in handy for some of my clients as well.
