Earlier this month, TopSeos.com released their list of the leading Organic Optimization firms for December, 2007.

We are proud to announce eVisibility made the list at number 13 out of about 2000 other firms!

Here at eVisibility, we consider the number 13 to be lucky, and here is why:

1. Alex Rodriguez wore the number 13
2. Dan Marino wore the number 13
3. Wilt Chamberlain wore the number 13
4. Shaquille O’Neal wore the number 13 in 1996
5. Tim Duncan wore the number 13 in 2004
6. There are 13 players in a rugby league team.
7. The original American flag had thirteen stars

As you can see, the number 13 has been just the right number for a lot of people throughout history. We think it’s an honor to make the leading Organic Optimization firms list at this “lucky” number.

eVisibility is growing at an incredible rate, and with an influx of clients, we have hired two new Paid Search Associates. We would like to welcome these new professionals to the Department of Paid Search. Linda Phan and George Habuki are eVisibility’s newest secret weapons in achieving great ROI for clients who use our Pay Per Click Management Services. Linda specializes in keyword creation and segmentation, while George specializes in Adtext creation and testing. Coupled with eVisibility’s Click Pro (proprietary PPC management software), they make the eVisibility’s Paid Search Department even more effective.

Welcome George and Linda!

Happy Halloween from the eVisibility’s Strategic Team

eVisibility is sponsoring one of our own employees in the upcoming Dublin Marathon. Erin Cartaya, who has worked with us since February, will be running in her third marathon this year. We are behind her (literally) in full support. As she prepares to compete on October 29, 2007, everyone here is getting just as excited to see how she does. Everyone sees her running at lunch instead of going out with us to the local fast food joints, so we also have high expectations.

Running 26.2 miles around the city limits of Dublin, she is hoping to finish better than her previous time of 3:27. eVisibility will be anxiously awaiting the results. It’s a once in a lifetime chance for Erin. She has been training hard for this; she knows how to go out there and compete, in any time zone.

eVisibility has been a supporter of its employees’ personal interests. Being sponsor for Erin in the Dublin marathon allows us as a company to reach out to other parts of the world, and to watch as she represents the company as one that is open to new challenges.

Erin graduated with a degree in English from USD just over a year ago, and competed in cross country. She says the running part isn’t as scary as the traveling; mainly because she has never been out of the country. But there is no reason not to go. Danny was impressed with the idea and decided to help sponsor her, to shoe that we are behind her one-hundred percent. She is blogging her marathon experience and keeping us up to date on her travels at www.Erin-Go-Run.com.

One concern that has arisen is the countywide wildfires that continue to burn. Along with several other co-workers, she had been evacuated from her home. Getting out of San Diego and to the airport is one concern for the marathoner, as her scheduled departure is just days away.

On behalf of the entire team here at eVisibility, we hope that you and those close to you stay safe while high winds and fires continue. As an Internet Marketing Agency, we take communication very seriously, so we have compiled a list of Web resources. We understand that when a catastrophe strikes, one of the most important things we can do is to help make the recovery process as quick and smooth as possible.

We compiled some Web resources and started a list. This will be updated as we find additional resources.
