introducing myself

Just wanted to be the first to introduce myself .

My name's Jonathan, I'm 28 years old, I live in Colorado. I admin a community for hot rod and custom car builders (link is in my sig). It's been around for about 6 years now.

I'm also working on a new site for hot rod website admins, at CrankshaftCoalition.com.

In my spare time (about 15 minutes per week ), I like to hike, run, and learn about Linux, linguistics, cars, and assorted other nonsense. The intersection of SEO and semantics is really interesting to me, as are knowledge-sharing methods -- data mining, web spidering, RSS, wiki, etc. I'm far from an expert in any particular category, but I'm familiar with a decent range of web technologies, and I love to learn.

vBSEO has got me really excited, I can't remember the last time something like this has been released to the vB community. Properly SEO'ing vBulletin has been a major challenge for years. It's very cool to see Crawlability taking the reins and creating a viable, professional solution for everyone. Seems like forums have always been very content-rich, but haven't benefited from proper exposure. Online communities have been relegated to what's referred to as the "Deep Web" for too long now -- it's good to see that change.

I'll be helping out as a vBSEO Team Member, and moderating in the Analysis: Traffic & SERPS and SEO General Discussion forums. PM me anytime.

hey Jonathan

Hello everyone,

My name is Ilia Muriente.

It is with great honor that I introduce myself as part of the Crawlability team, as well as our vBSEO Moderators and testing team. We are all 100% committed to continuing the development of vBSEO in order to achieve an even greater impact in SEO for your forums and help you build a more successful web presense.

I certainly share Jonathan's enthusiasm! Now that we've officially launched, it is extremely exciting to see vBSEO in action and successfully achieving the goals we envisioned for our customers. This is only the beginning! As we speak, there are many more great things planned for vBSEO that are in the works.

Since we are all involved with forums, we basically work towards developing the 3C's - community, collaboration, and content! Therefore, in the spirit of community building, I invite you to join with myself, Jonathan, and Ryan in making your introductions here.

If there is anything I can personally assist you with, please feel free to PM me.

She's my sis - you can tell by the last name
