About Me

Hi, my name is Mark Stockton and I don’t expect many (any?) people reading this will have a clue who I am, so allow me to fill you in and blow my own trumpet at the same time.

I’m an SEO, who has been in the business nine years or so. I’ve never really tried to build a profile to match some of my peers that came to prominence around the same time as me, although I did once moderate at Jill Whalen’s High Rankings.com forum and at ABestWeb affiliate forums, for what it’s worth.

I kinda gave up that kind of self-promotion (until now) when I found that I wasn’t actually doing any proper work.

Nevertheless, I consider myself one of the better UK search engine marketers and have the track record to back it up. I’ve still got a client at #1 for a high value keyword out of over 1 billion results in Google. So, I reckon I can walk the walk as well as talk the talk.

All that white, grey or black hat stuff just doesn’t interest me, so I’m not going to bother with those tiresome debates here. The techniques I use are designed to create long term, stable results that last years.

Right now, I consider myself semi-retired from doing the more labour intensive side of SEO, but if you’ve got an interesting project and a good chunk of money, you might be able to persuade me to do a little bit of consulting.

Most of my time now is spent building up my most recent business – an online B2B lead generation service – Reach24 Ltd.
