SEO chicks was thought of after a “drunken” conversation at a LondonSEO party, one cold night back in March 2007. The conversation started between myself (Lisa Ditlefsen) and Anita Chaperon (PPC Queen) and we decided after a few beers that it was time to get some female attitude into the Search Marketing blogosphere. We quickly got Julie Joyce on board and started blogging.

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 1 1/2 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 5 SEO Chicks and 5 SEO Chicklets (guest bloggers).

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