John Andrews is a talented and brilliant individual.

He is an Internet veteran who has been in the business for over a decade. On his blog he has written a better view of his philosophy of SEO and competitive webmastering than I ever could write here.

His knowledge of the Internet, SEO, programming and science go deep. He
independently owns and operates hundreds of domains on the web, but also
works as an SEO and web business strategy consultant for select clients
because as he says “I love computers and the Internet, but I also need
sunlight and people”.

Johns blog gives a hint to what he is up to. You won’t just find a bunch of cartoon pin up girls there, but instead deeply thought through points that weave science, SEO, history, and predictions of the future into it’s folds.

John’s writings on SEO often resonate with like-minded SEO’s, whom he suggests are the Card Counters of the Internet.

When John commented on his own blog that he doesn’t see much value in his public
writing, we see some of the biggest names in Internet Marketing stand up
and remind him that his is a

“gotta read” blog”

that they “read every word of this blog religiously”,

and that “the content here is of consistently higher quality than 99% of the material out there, and we
all know it”.

along with a request that he “don’t change a thing”

and a claim that he is “a master of link baiting”

As a recent joiner of twitter it did not escape me that of the 49 people that Matt Cutts follows, John is one of them.

John lives in the Seattle area, mountain bikes, kayaks, and obviously enjoys the beauty around him.
