One of my favorite people in the search industry is Mike McDonald (but he’s a terrificly humble guy so no one tell him I said so - it’ll go straight to his head). Last week at Pubcon in Vegas, Mike grabbed me for a 6.5 minute interview in the hallways of the Las Vegas Convention Center for what turned out to be a remarkably good video. The WebProNews team not only filmed, but cut and edited the piece with some serious style and panache - just do me a favor and stop watching when there’s 1:00 left - no one needs to see that last bit.

It’s sad that we don’t cover the paid side of search marketing here at SEOmoz with more frequency, but with a little luck and some elbow grease (or, at least, borrowed expertise), I’m trying to dip our toe a bit deeper. Thus, it’s with great pleasure that I welcome Mona Elesseily from Page Zero. Mona’s a paid search guru, a fellow Northwesterner (albeit a Canadian one) and one of my favorite people to spend time with. She’s graciously agreed to an interview with SEOmoz about her background, her work and her new book, Mastering Panama (no, it’s not about canals).

I have been a longtime reader and fan of BlueHatSEO.com, and recently asked Eli for an interview. He said sure, and here it is.

What is your background? What got you into SEO?

I started around ‘95-’96. I had a lot of interest in music and games and stuff so I created a couple sites related to stuff I normally really enjoy and download a lot. I got in good company with a few guys who ran hosting and colocation companies who made quite a bit of money so naturally my focus started shifting towards how I can make as much as they do. From there it kind of spurred into researching and developing traffic generation and search engine related stuff in an effort to keep up with these guys who had quite a bit more resources and money than my broke ass did. From there it kind of escalated and apart from a short break in college I’ve been doing it ever since.

Way back in November of last year, I suggested a linkbait idea to the wide community on a comparison of the major analytics vendors. Despite an incredible amount of work and effort required to put it together, Eric Enge of Stone Temple Consulting prevailed and produced the incredibly valuable, must read research report - The 2007 Web Analytics Shootout.

While being much less self promotional than others in the same field, Debra Mastaler is nonetheless one of the most well known and creative link builders in the industry. I have wanted to interview her for a long time since she has a unique way of working but she’s hard to pin down and not very good about returning interview questions…
