SEO chicks was founded in May 2007, and was created after a conversation between myself (Lisa Ditlefsen) and Anita Chaperon at a LondonSEO event that year. We soon got Julie Joyce (Me Julie) on board and launched the blog at the very first SMX conference in Seattle in June 2007. Although the blog has only female bloggers it is by no means a “girls only” blog.

SEO-Chicks is a collaborating blog with the creme de la creme of female SEOs, PPC and Social Media specialists. And totally non-profit, we write because we love Search.

Now, after 2 years of blogging, SEO Chicks are growing strong, and the blog has been a great success. Far beyond just proving that chicks can do SEO We are now a total of 6 SEO Chicks and 4 SEO Chicklets (guest bloggers).

So here we are, attempting more than just another SEO blog

To contact us please send us an email.

So without further ado, here are the chicks that make SEO…ehm….”hot”

She has been living in the United States for five years, after moving to Washington to attend university and compete on a college swim team. Graduating from Washington State University with a degree in English, she is now pleased about the number of hours she spent on the Internet during college, as it’s turned out not to be such a waste of time after all. She still remembers the first time she heard about SEO: a classmate explained how the Googlebomb worked and she was immediately hooked. Jane is best known for cheering loudly in the SEOmoz office when she finds something interesting happening in the SERPs, which generally pleases no one at all. She is a regular at Search Conferences, usually in the bar with LisaD.
