The history of becoming an SEO specialist
Find out details
- In 2007, I started working as an intern and Junior SEO specialist at an NDA Moldovan company, promoting websites for cigarette sales in the USA. At the same time, I worked part-time as a copywriter.
- In 2008, I achieved my first TOP ranking on google.com for the highly competitive keywords ‘cheap cigarettes’ and ‘Marlboro cigarettes’. I decided to leave the company, borrowed 1,500 euros from my mother, and began my own online journey in a rented room in Botanica.
- By the fall of 2008, I had opened my first office and hired 4 employees.
- In 2009, I launched my first own project targeting the Australian market, which continues to generate profit from SEO traffic to this day.
- From 2009 to 2011, the team grew to 8 people, and we created a network of over 800 niche satellite websites. We started working with various affiliate programs, promoting websites in tough niches.
- From 2012 to 2015, our team was a TOP affiliate partner at MoreNiche.com.
- In 2014, I stepped out from behind the scenes and officially registered the company RocketSEO.
- In 2017, the Google Medic Update resulted in the loss of our network of 800 satellite sites.
- In 2017, we launched our own e-commerce project targeting the USA.
- As of 2018 and currently, we are developing our agency in the local market, as well as client SEO in the West.
