About Anna Sebestyen
Hello, my name is Anna Sebestyen. I am a freelance search marketing consultant and SEO-friendly website developer based in New Orleans, LA.
VideoVoo is meant to provide platform for discussing ways of remixing the routes and modes of online/ offline communication, with special regards to online videos, video search, video advertising, hypervideos, video contests and more. Food for thought for you, me, senders, receivers on the line.
If still interested in more details:
My name is Anna Sebestyén.
Currently I am building search engine optimized websites using XHTML and CSS (or optimizing existing sites), managing CPC campaigns in Google and Yahoo, honing my skills in Javascript, and can hardly wait to get down to PHP and MySQL. My motivation? I feel a special dedication towards making life better through education and science (precisely those crucial areas that tend to under-use marketing) and I am simply thrilled by the potentially positive changes the web is doing with us, and we with the web. So I stopped teaching and managing educational projects after about 14 years, in order to specialize in cutting edge online marketing solutions. I have systematically transformed into an online (primarily paid search) marketing consultant. Now based in New Orleans. I have worked with clients from several exciting fields like healthcare, real estate, IT, biotech, fitness, retail, landscaping, etc. etc. with companies like Ochsner, First Lake Properties, etc. (also Hungarian companies where I started my SEM career).
As for more personal interests: If I was a blogpost I would tag myself: disruptive technologies, future digital trends and social changes, social responsibility, website development, web analytics, life long learning and training (kids, adults, SMB, big fish), psycholinguistics, cartoons, children stories (Alice, Lord of the Rings, Neverending Story, His Dark Materials, folk tales etc.), sci-fi (Gameplayers of Titan, Ubik, The Stars My Destination, etc.), coffee, blogging, languages, traveling, recipe hacking, zoo (I never have a chance to see the tapir!), coffee, thought-provoking conversations, writing, riding my cruiser style bike, traveling, talking to elderly people how things were different, and did I mention coffee and traveling? Hm, this list will never get finished I’m afraid.
I am also an enthusiastic blogger, just like my husband, Attila (pimm.wordpress.com). Blogging has earned me some reputation in Hungary (e.g. got invited as the moderator for the blogsearch discussion at the web 2.2 symposium), been asked about Yahoo & Microsoft issues by PC World, and also in the online geek literature of 2-second fames (Techmeme, Blogoscoped).
