Speaker Interview

This snippet is taken from Alex Moss’ interview with UnGagged prior to his session at UnGagged Las Vegas 2016:

UnGagged: Tell us a bit about your background and how you got started in SEO.

Alex Moss: I guess I could say that I was doing SEO before I even knew what it was. I started building websites in 1997 as a hobby. One I built, a South Park fan site, used to attract 1000’s of visits each day and even earned some money from it.

Throughout university, I continued to design websites on a freelance basis. After graduating, I worked in television production but noticed the lack of security, career progression and freedom of creativity so went back into web design on a more professional level.

In 2008, I started working for a startup software company as their “webmaster” – handling anything from code issues on the website all the way to handling online customer support. Whilst there, I was asked what I knew about SEO. I knew nothing, so they invested in a course for me and it went from there!
