About the Author
Richard has a more than 20 years in the high technology industry with additional time in international trade development and small business consulting. Richard's career actually began in the military as a Captain in the Field Artillery where he learned being cold, tired and living in substandard housing was no fun. He transitioned to high technology in 1981 selling mini computers to construction companies. Moving to the high tech giant Hughes Aircraft Company he realized a big defense company was even less enjoyable than the Army. Finally he found a home at Western Digital in Irvine CA just as the PC computer industry really started to take off. Starting as a product manager for WD's line of Ethernet cards he ended up handling major OEMs as a marketing manager. When the Ethernet business was sold to SMC Networks he continued his work with the likes of IBM, Dell, HP and other large companies and he had the good fortune to manage International marketing for a number of years. Sadly the fun began to wind down as the hardware business turned to lower and lower margin sales. Time with Seagate Technology and tape backup drives surely highlighted that! Five years with Lantronix focusing on device marketing lead to some interesting markets like industrial automation, medical devices and other fun segments and wrapped up his hardware career. He does have a lasting legacy as the inventor of the world's only Internet BBQ. The last few years saw time with the Australian Trade Commission as a Business Development Manager based in Seattle. In this role he worked with dozens of small Australian businesses as they created export opportunities to the US and specifically Seattle. Since then he has focused on working with small local businesses and writing books on SEO, importing, marketing on classified ad networks and local search. He also skis, bikes, hikes, plays golf and backpacks in the beautiful Northwest. Rich is also the co-author of Get Found Now Locals Search Secrets Exposed.

I would like to keep Richard Geasey, his books, and his work a secret...but that wouldn't be fair to Richard.
I am so glad to have stumbled upon Richard and his work because it has been working for our businesses. We are now ranked #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #7, #8, and #9 on the front page of Google! We dominate the first page! Richard, thank you for all of your help.

Get Found Now: Search Engine Optimization Secrets Made Easy for Novices and Pros Alike,
By J. Carroza "SocialMediaDynamics" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Get Found Now! Search Engine Optimization Secrets Exposed: Acheive High Rankings In Google, Yahoo and Bing for Your Website (Paperback)
If you've been wondering what you can do to drive traffic to your site, wonder no more. Get Found Now! Search Engine Optimization Secrets Exposed: Acheive High Rankings In Google, Yahoo and Bing for Your Website (Volume 1) is the perfect "how-to" book for newbies and experienced webmasters alike. Newbies have needed a step-by-step guide that's not overwhelming, and this book delivers.
You'll learn why search engine optimization (SEO) is important to your business. You'll learn about keywords, rank and optimization in simple-to-understand everyday language. Don't miss the powerful advice on page 80 about Google and other Local Business Listings. Failing to take it has caused many businesses to find lawyers to protect their good names! I picked this up after reading the last venture by Rich Geasey and Shannon Evans: Get Found Now! Local Search Secrets Exposed: Learn How to Achieve High Rankings in Google, Yahoo and Bing (Volume 1) which opened my eyes to what the local business can do to make an impact. Even those of us with some knowledge will benefit significantly from these books. Shannon demonstrated the value of sites I had overlooked. Learn what bookmarking is and how it can help your website. Learn how to ask your customers to help you with your site's ranking. Learn the value of reviews and in general what not to do. It doesn't end there. It's worth every penny and then some. You'll want to read the next book. (I hear it's in the works!) (Full disclosure: While I bought Get Found Now/Local Search Secrets Exposed, the second volume was a gift.)
