Is a Job Search Campaign Like a Website Traffic-Building Campaign?

I've learned a lot about building websites over the past 14 years and more than I want to confess about Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Now that I'm in Job Hunt 1.0 mode, I thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if I treated my job search like I would treat a new web property:

  • Build a website about my 4th most favorite person in the whole world (me – sadly I finish a distant 4th behind my wife and kids)
  • Sell me instead of a product
  • Optimize the site for both onsite and offsite SEO
  • Build it on WordPress
  • Use all of the link-building tactics I've come to learn over the last few years
  • Focus on keywords that will get my site to the top of the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs)

This is why I created this website: To see if I could generate traffic to a job searcher's site and maximize my job-hunting success.

Let's hope it works!
