Surely you could beat him on a 1vs1 SEO challenge but, as he said, he focusses on his team + connections, so this gives NVI IMHO a better leverage in the long run than a one man show SEO Consultant.

I think there should also be a category for people that got into SEO because they've been building sites for 10+ years and learned SEO to help those sites thrive. They also make more money working on their own sites than clients would typically be willing to pay, although will take on clients for the right opportunity (ie. equity in high potential site or crazy high bill rate). This person has moved on from full time hands-on to sometimes outsource development to trusted consultants. This is also possibly someone that speaks at conferences on the topic of SEO, and for my own profile, is about 33 years old and married with two daughters. :) Hey Gab,

The fact that you thought of that and I didn't suggests that perhaps our positions should be inverted - would obviously have been some nice linkbait. @ Allan - I've seen your company name around the sphere a few times, so I'm not surprised to hear of your success. You also make a good point in highlighting how my ranking system is skewed towards those who participate in the scene, as highlighted by Guillaume. Obviously many experts are too busy with clients to be blogging! @ Dave - Sounds like where my Dad would be at if he'd gotten into SEO a few years back. He's 60 and I'm 20 years old :). In any event you make a pretty good case for the Sexy SEO qualifier :). @ Francis - Didn't mean to ignore you folks, hehe. I'm well aware the NVI's growth is more than one-man's story. I'd love to chat with you about <a href="http://seoroi.com/affiliate/" target='_blank' >affiliate</a> stuff, anyways. And you make some good points about presence in the sphere being skewed as a metric. That said, unless you go public with your affiliate success (based on SEO, I suppose?) it's hard to judge where you might be - i.e. there aren't that many better metrics. @ Mike – I should definitely have launched this article with “Good SEO” “Rad SEO” and “Sexy SEO” badges.

Like I’m doing SEO for 5+ years, doing great on my own as an <a href="http://seoroi.com/affiliate/" target='_blank' >affiliate</a> on a lot of different niches, and publishing very little about what I’m doing. I’m not an active Sphinn user, nether I comments stuff on <a href="http://go.seomoz.org/aff_c?offer_id=1&aff_id=1009&aff_sub=features&url=http%3A//www.seomoz.org/features" rel='nofollow' target='_blank' >SEOmoz</a> (even if i’m reading it) but I think I can learn a couple tricks to some very well known SEO. And I’m not the only one at NVI that have a good experience on his own as an affiliates or in SEO in general. I do not fit anywhere in your chart, <a href="http://seoroi.com/blog/" target='_blank' >my blog</a> haven’t a lot of subscriber, I'm not writing much and honestly I'm not a very good writer, some people at NVi are way better copyrighter than me, not married but not single and I’m not over 25. Also, i would be a very bad public speaker (Guillaume is way better than me) and my engrish sounds like it, engrish :P I guess i need another category made for me. By the way I’m reading your blog from time to time, some interesting stuff in it. Hey, don’t forget that Guillaume have also good employees that are not necessary public about their SEO work.

I think I am probably a rad SEO. Infact your post description was in some parts really quite scary. Thing is I have actually been involved for SEO for A lot longer than 3-5 years, only just that I never really bothered to participate in the whole social side of SEO much untill recently, mainly because I have always been so busy actually working on client projects. I run an agency you see, but am also employed full time. So guess I am just about to take the big leap and go to Full time self emplyed at which time I am hoping I can get my income up from $80,000 to more like $200,000. Sphun and Stumbled. Hi,
