SEO by the Sea

The SEO by the Sea blog, in San Diego, California, helps you to learn from information directly from the search engines such as patent filings and whitepapers, to

  • Uncover some of the assumptions and processes behind how search engines work
  • Keep an eye on how search engines rank web pages, and
  • Determine whether the search engines might have some surprises for us in the future.

SEO Services

SEO by the Sea provides SEO services to help make it easier for sites to be found on the Web, and easier for those sites to be used once they’ve been found. Those services are backed by:

  • Years of experience
  • Research into search engine patents and white papers
  • Experimentation, and
  • Studying the way that web sites and search engines interact

SEO by the Sea uses a professional, ethical, and proactive approach to help websites and their intended audiences find each other.

The SEO by the Sea blog was originally started in 2005 to support a grassroots gathering of people interested in internet marketing and search engines in Havre de Grace, Maryland. I was watching sails bobbing up and down on the Chesapeake Bay when the name SEObythesea came to me.

Concord Point Lighthouse, which sits at the mouth of the Susquehanna River in Havre de Grace.

After the conference was over, the site evolved into a place where I write about search-related research and patents and cover search engine optimization and other topics. I have been reading and writing about patents and whitepapers from search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo since 2005.
