Gabriel Goldenberg is an experienced internet marketer who wrote the first book on advanced SEO. The book got very positive reviews, explaining its sales across over a dozen countries, many of whose main language is not English! (ex.: Poland, Thailand, France etc.) It also lead to Gabriel collaborating with IMN, since Jim bought a couple of copies and liked it.
A brief biography of Gabriel Goldenberg
Amongst my proudest achievements are:
- Getting 25,000+ downloads for my Internal Link Building plugin, leading to my site ranking #3 on Google.ca for 'SEO' (behind only 2 Wikipedia results, making me the de facto #1 ranked SEO in Canada) as well as simultaneously owning all three of the top spots for 'link building' on Google.ca.
- Managing a team of a dozen bloggers located across Italy, France, Chile, India, Singapore and the US, as part of a successful link building strategy.
- Inventing new tactics and giving engaging talks that have earned very positive feedback over Twitter and other channels. I've spoken at SMX Advanced, Pubcon, Affiliate Summit, FacebookCamp, and private training for companies that hired me and flew me in.
- Making my talks fun things. For example, I've thrown insoles to audience members as prizes for answering questions well (walking a lot at big conferences hurts your feet). I've gotten audience members to talk to each other and try a tactic out immediately (this is more engaging than just listening, plus gets them practice, plus people want to network and my exercise provided an easy icebreaker), and I used a Sesame Street video without it being out-of-place or even a stretch.
I'm able to get above average results for clients thanks to my broad experience. I've worked with a variety of channels and tactics, including SEO, PPC (search, display and social), email marketing, affiliate marketing, social media and some domaining, as well as offline marketing and personal selling. Likewise my clients and experiences have ranged from mega sites to mom-n-pop shops hiring me for a few hours of consulting. This gives me the ability to strategize beyond just a narrow one-channel view and make connections between ideas from different fields.
I run a soccer site as a hobby, as well as my personal blog for fun, as well as working on making a better Jewish matchmaking service.
