Ross Hudgens has been in the search industry since 2007. His resume includes being the first employee at an agency that grew 5x in size and revenues after one year, building a venture-backed website from scratch to the front page for extremely competitive keywords, and now, managing a talented SEO team at Full Beaker Inc in Seattle, Washington. Ross' day to day tasks include link building, content strategy, social media development, and the extensive project management needed to effectively balance a large portfolio of websites.

His largest talents fall in the areas of link building, scaling SEO, content creation, and social media campaign management. Ross writes regularly about link building strategies over at his SEO blog, RossHudgens.com. You'll most frequently find him riffing about miscellaneous link building techniques and the SEO theory there applied, but will also take time out to interview some of the talented minds in search.

Ross graduated with a B.S. in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing from Chapman University in Orange, California. Although now far away from the beautiful beaches of Southern California, Ross is fine settling on the calming radiation of computer LCD screens at his posh Washington office. In his spare time, Ross enjoys Crossfit and writing about the career that he loves. You can follow him on Twitter @RossHudgens.
