Tim Nash the Stuff Specialist
What can I say about me, My name is Tim Nash and many people think I'm a search engine optimisation consultant by trade. This is entirely my fault as I went around telling people that was indeed what I did for a living however I'm not and this is my blog.
I do deal in helping people rank well in search engines for terms but I also work with numbers and stats on a range of subjects both online and off. This blog is my personal blog and reflects my interests in SEO, AI, IR, Analytics and metrics or put it another way STUFF!
So what makes me different from many other blogs on the same subjects...
- I'm an engineer at heart, I tinker, I tweak but above all I test and record the results for me there is no such thing as a failed experiment just an unexpected outcome
- I love to break things, its the only way to know how to fix them later
- I brain dump my thoughts, not just the polished ideas but I believe if I found something interesting then others will to
- I'm probably the most arrogant, egotisitcal sarcastic blogger you have ever read...
- If I'm not number 4 I will cry!
Of course that list is hardly unique there are many of people out there who work in a similar way and in many ways this blog is aimed at them as well, if anything I want to provoke discussion and if at the end of a post you haven't gone "I never thought of that" I haven't done my job right and you should damn well tell me so!
