Joel Russell of the San Fernando Valley Business Journal interviews Bruce Clay

San Fernando Valley Business Journal (Sept. 16, 2013, subscription required)  – Bruce Clay wrote the book on search engine optimization, better known as SEO. It’s an acronym that’s thrown around a lot these days and basically is a technique for helping websites achieve better rankings on search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing. That might involve changing the product descriptions on a webpage to include keywords that Google likes, or it might mean a full redesign of the site. Bruce Clay Inc. has 76 employees in six countries. Its clients are some of the biggest names in business: Target Corp., Victoria’s Secret, Rosetta Stone, Pitney-Bowes, Toyota, Edmunds and Nickelodeon. The company has appeared on the Inc. 5000 for seven consecutive years. The 64-year-old Clay co-wrote “Search Engine Optimization All-in-One for Dummies.” He met with the Business Journal at his offices in a Simi Valley business park to discuss Google’s crackdown on “cheaters” and how he made his sister an extra $1 million.
