Give us a ping, twitter, what the trend is when you get back to the UK. I am sure both David and I would like to catch up with you over a pint.

Hope life is treating you well.

Dave: We really need to update this list mate!!!! Might be worth making into a directory (SYEAHHHH Like we have the time for that)

You do get around don’t you! Glad the World tour is going well… bet you don’t miss Falkirk!

Dave

Yeah dude I’m here in Spain… great place… bars never shut… Need to stay sober this week to find some links… thinking about heading somewhere more tropical.

Dave,
It’s Hoggan and not huogan or whatever you mentioned above haha

Mike Grehan being one of the foremost UK SEOs with international fame, and having worked with some of the very biggest and most established brands in the game (including iProspect and Bruce Clay). Before Rand Fishkin had started blogging, Mike Grehan’s name was second only to Danny Sullivan in the industry to most.

Barry Lloyd of MakeMeTop is another of the old-school kings, and was the first SEO to break away from the most basic pricing models to create an innovative pay-for-performance model that still makes me chuckle today.

Yep I last spoke to Pete last year after he got back from the USA and before he flew out to Spain (he was working in collaboration with Jeff Goodwin at Internet Marketing Scotland then, as well as running Design Insite). I believe Chance is out in Spain with Peter… next time he pops up on Messenger I’ll have to ask what he is upto!

I’d heard that Oyster Web were rebranding - good that you’re still going strong after all these years up in bonny Scotland!

Just to let you know that Pete Hoggan sold Oyster Web to John Hughes of Indicium Web Design about 4 years ago. Last I heard of Pete he was in Spain and running Design Insite from there. Not sure if Chance is with him or if he’s at the Glasgow end. One of our programmers sometimes hears from them so I could ask him if you’re interested.

Shameless plug. John and I met while we were both at BMM in 2002. I do most of the client SEO at Oyster these days while John manages the business and builds the web development side. Sometime soon we’ll be rebranding the two sides into Indicium Web and the Oyster Web name will disappear.
