Mark Mayne, PushON

Mark Mayne

Mark is the owner of Mayhem, a UK search marketing blog, and works for a UK-based SEO company PushON. Mark has been in the industry for over two and a half years and runs a multitude of websites.

“For me link building is one of the most time consuming and important aspects of an SEO campaign. This is because as SEO’s we have to spend considerable amounts of time identifying and approaching relevant link targets. Many people find link building frustrating and laborious. This is often because their approach lacks direction and organization. A well-organized link building campaign improves both efficiency and performance. In this blog post I hope to share some ideas as to how to effectively organize a link building campaign.”

“One thing I realized pretty quickly when I started doing SEM work is that different sites require different strategies. Tactics that work on one site may not work so well on another site. Each site is different so you need to create custom strategies to get the best results.”
