Today I'm talking to Kris ReidNot a real estate agent; he is a business growth expert, a software engineer by trade, and the founder of Ardor SEO. Originally from Brisbane, Australia Kris studied Software Engineering at the Queensland University of Technology. Upon graduating, he moved to London to work in Finance for large institutions including Euroclear and Visa Europe.When the financial crisis hit, he lost his job and headed back to Australia. He built a simple online game called Mob Warrior. As the game came to fruition, he talks about how he thought "how do I get people to the website to play the game?" that is when and how he learned about search engine optimization. This marked the inception of Ardor SEO, the Search Engine Optimization company that today helps entrepreneurs and businesses such as EOF, Mike Michalowicz, The Influence Marketer, Happy Cow, Ovolo hotels, and more, grow, not just by a percentage, but in multiples. Today, we talk about Search Engine Optimization, what it is, and how it works.2008 Global Financial Crisis: How does Kris face it (03:00)A simple way to website backlinks (04:05)Do you need SEO?
