Resigned from casino.com last week!
Working my notice period!
Been a slow 11 months, doesn’t really feel like I achieved anything. Shame really, was very hyped up about coming to work in the casino industry for one of the best domains around. Was an exciting challenge, had a ton of ideas and was very enthusiastic. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get on with my job, and spent most of my time planning the new site and working on other ideas. Wont go into details of why so lets just blame the corporate world.
Was going to wait a few months before resigning, wanted to see if things changed for the better, and I like being in Spain. Also wanted to be around for the new site launch, with the amazing CMS we were having developed. I can hand edit a page quicker than I can use them CMS - a great example of what happens when software developers don’t consult end users and just concentrate on functionality.
Anyway, I am off to head up the SEO for Car Rentals who I had a brief spell with last year. They are very big in the travel sector, with new sites such as their travel comparator. They also recently bought fly.co.uk – if anyone has any cool ideas for this domain then let me know
Best of all I work very closely with owners who have great understanding of online marketing and SEO - and i get to spend January in OZ , then back to sunny Lichfield in england.

Cheers!:)
Don’t start for a while, but am looking forward to the challenges Doug can throw at me. Would start straight away, but i have guests coming, and plan to spend a little time traveling round spain and morocco.
Hoping i can still find time to play with some darker SEO in my own time for fun and for profit
