Bill is one of the kindest and most reliable guys I know — always ready with a compliment or word of encouragement. Beyond that, he’s also one of the smartest! A lot of us know and do search marketing, but none of us come at it with the understanding of the theory behind search algorithms that Bill has developed through tireless research into patent applications and similar scientific documents. He does us all a big service via his blog!
Senior Director of Online Marketing at Stone Temple Consulting
While I have not worked with Bill, I have engaged with him regularly via social media for two years now, and he and I both spoke at a conference together. I have come to rely on Bill as at true expert in the field of SEO; one of my most reliable sources of information.
In SEO, there are tons of people who claim to know what they are talking about. Bill is one of the relative few who backs up what he says with intensive research and testing, and is able to provide real data. For that reason, he is one of my top go-to resources when I really need to know “what’s what.”
Bill has always impressed me with his knowledge, thoroughness, and integrity. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of the services he can provide.
