Sorry for the lack of posts, here are some updates

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been quite busy the last few months and was involved in many projects day and night. Blogging isn’t the only thing I was less involved in, I also spent less time going out and also visiting friends. This is worst than not blogging. So, I’ve decided to reorganize the way I work and also try to delegate effectively and finding new partners to work with.

I should have posted that months ago but it’s better late than never (actually I did that but only on my bio page): I no longer work for Gameloft, I left about a year ago. At that time, I didn’t know if I wanted to keep doing SEO in-house or with an agency. I thought I would do some freelancing while trying to decide what I really wanted to do. It turns out I enjoyed working on my own and decided to keep providing SEO consulting services as a freelance. I’m still based in Paris, which is perfect for networking and finding new clients.

I did do some mobile SEO stuff but not much, it’s not that I didn’t want to, but at that time, not too many mobile content companies wanted to invest in mobile SEO.

I enjoy freelancing, I’ve been able to work on some exciting projects and I have decided to go to the next step create an SEO agency. Working on your own is nice but I realize I rather work with other people, it’s important to create a synergy, this leads to better ideas and more effectiveness. I have partnered with an ex-colleague of mine and we’re about to launch our company very soon.

Also, although I don’t have time for blogging, I’ve become more active on Twitter, which I’ve been using to keep in touch with different friends from the SEO industry, since I also spend less time on forums and reading blogs. Here’s my Twitter account: http://www.twitter.com/nadir

I will try and post a blog post with some “tips” regarding SEO consulting and also on how to choose your clients, what you should include in your contracts, etc., I’ve learned quite a lot while working as a freelance, trust me it ain’t always that fun 🙂

Thank you.
