Tamar's seo team launches history of Google infographic

If you have visited the Tamar.com site or our Twitter, Facebook or Linkedin recently, you would notice the buzz around the infographics we have created that reflects our longevity.

In this series of infographics, we first launched the history of Google infographics. For obvious reasons Tamar's SEO team was tasked to compile the data. Now, Tamar's SEO team also has few freshers and as the head of SEO I thought assigning the data collection to the freshers would be the best lesson I could give them to help build their foundation. The plan worked and I was glad to see their interest in SEO escalate, which works wonderfully for the team.

Names of some of the algorithm updates were certainly the most discussed topics. If you look at the infographic and pay attention to the way updates have been laid out, 2012 looks like a Manhattan skyline. When I said this out loud across the office floor, everyone thought that they must have missed adding an algorithm called Manhattan, lol!

Anyway my final and most important tip to my young SEOrs was not to chase an algorithm but to focus on optimizing, which goes far beyond updating meta titles or building links.

Tamar's SEO

Writing the first post of your own blog does feel a bit weird ! wondering where to begin with. Anyway, let me take this opportunity to introduce myself to the world of blogging. Not that I have not written posts in the past, I have, but only as part of my at SEO work at Tamar. So far my excuse for not blogging for myself was that I am an observant and not particularly good at expressing. However, with this blog I am hoping to change this opinion about myself and get into the habit of expressing my views, opinions or any experience in SEO or otherwise, regularly.

So here I am writing my first post for my own blog and I would like to begin with talking about my journey so far as an SEO consultant, which continues till this day at Tamar.

When I took over Tamar's SEO team I had several challenges, to begin with I wasn't even sure if I was going to stay in the country. However, time has been gracious and has given me the opportunity to establish myself in the world of Digital marketing.

My SEO responsibilities at Tamar has given me the opportunity to lead organic search campaigns for some of the leading brands in the country. I also had the pleasure to work on some of the lesser known brands who witnessed the growth on back of Tamar's SEO recommendations.

Anyway, I could go on for quite a while talking about the all the SEO work we have done for our clients. If you are interested to know further, then please click through to this page - http://www.tamar.com/results/

It has been a wonderful journey for me so far at Tamar - working within and leading it's SEO team, and I sure hope it continues to do so for many years.
