No, I think my response to that question would be "No, Chris. And I'll tell you why: I've only got answers. Answers to all of your problems related to SEO Management."

Oh yeah. And then I'll turn the interview around and ask him if he's a sheep or a shark.

That answer won't go over so well when you realize the interviewer's name is Frank.

Good luck.

I know this is nothing compared to your job but I have an interview for a high school chemistry/physics teaching position.

There is also a coaching position that has to be filled for this contract. Hopefully it's soccer, tennis, or volleyball.

But I meet with the principal and athletic director on Thursday.

I'm not looking for comparisons! But good luck with that, dude. Teaching is an admirable thing, and worlds more important at the very least than my position, if it isn't more glamorous or high-paying, etc.

He has a truly awesome porn mustache. I respect people like that, so I will not be literally knocking him dead.

So, I talked with the director of search and he gave me all these details ... talked about how our network of 325+ sports blogs is expanding to include a network based on tech and things like that. We did recently hire the editors from Engadget, and he talked about how my position as SEO Manager would not only include the sports side of things, but it would be one team that crossed over into tech and things like that. So it's a huge vertical position with insane room for growth.

Talked about how they wanted to promote from within, and I fit that bill. And there was a huge chemistry there, which is great, because I'd be working directly with him. And we covered a lot of stuff, and talked about my music magazine I used to have and how that helps things as well.

Then the awesome news: talked about relocating me to Washington, D.C. with a great enough pay to more than cover the cost of living there and I was soaring. I don't know if I have it yet, but I feel incredibly good about it. Waiting about a week to hear back from him is going to be agony.

No, that was a good friend of mine, Danny. He's a master of stats, I couldn't possibly compete with him in that regard!

yeah, the guy from battleredblog who was hired was the same way, he absolutely knows the game inside and out, and he's a hell of a writer to boot. definitely my favorite writer on the site and i'm a bit sad to see him go, seeing as i'm not quite willing to pay for a subscription to footballoutsiders.

I've actually had a couple offers that can be considered better than what I'm doing now (on the level of Danny going to FO), but I've turned them down to stick with SB Nation. I think it might be paying off now.

SEO Manager?

I challenge you to an SEO-off!!!

Well not really, I'm getting trained pretty hardcore in this stuff. I really don't want to work for someone else (although I am right now) and am planning on starting some sort of website (I actually have an idea). But I have to learn how to build it. I can crush the market that I'm gonna be in and hopefully make $10K+ month doing this.

If you know some javascript or some more advanced html (or knows someone that does) then hit me up.
