A Seo professional leaving the community
This is a very sad news but a person who won the first seo contest by name V7ndotcom Elursrebmem has now planned to leave this seo business, though he had a great sucess in his seo and link bait, i hope you would have already guessed and yes iam talking about Jim Westergren who was also expected at the delhi seo meet.
Here are some of his guides worth reading :
SEO for Wordpress Blogs
What a SEO Professional should know
Text Surrounding Link
Link Building Guide
Almost a year back jim expanded with 10 companies and individuals and now he is leaving this business because he wants to continue as a writer.
In 2007 when I have my new major link building service set up I will withdraw a bit from the SEO world and I will then go back to my writings and write the 4 novels I long wanted to write. Perhaps I will take a laptop and travel somewhere far away …
Currently his company has been Acquired by Epiphany Solutions Ltd for a total amount of $157,700 USD , which seems to be a fair deal for him 
but i personally feel the whole empire was worth a lot more than that. Anyway my wishes to jim for his future life and his writing passion, i hope he suceeds a lot in his favourite job.
