Rand Fishkin’s Summary

I've been involved in web development since 1995 and search engine optimization since 2001. In 2004, I co-founded SEOmoz, which has since grown to 18+ employees and a community of over 150,000 active search marketers. Since 2005, I've been the CEO at SEOmoz and oversee the company's strategic and product direction.

I'm also a regular speaker on search topics around the world, and have keynoted events in many cities, appeared in dozens of publications, both online and mainstream and, best of all, in 2008, married the woman I love. When I'm not on the road, you can find me writing for the popular SEOmoz blog, with more than 40,000+ regular readers, and working to strengthen the search marketing community.
