What others say about Ammon Johns

Given all that I've said about establishing credibility and trust, I feel rather pushed to provide a few references of my own. To be honest, I always feel a little uncomfortable with "making a big deal" of myself, but these are the words of others about me. Perhaps some of the following comments will help you to determine my credibility and reputation.

What Ammon's Peers Say:

"Ammon is one of the few people in the online marketing industry to whom you should be listening if you want to do it right. This is the reason I keep asking him back to contribute to my site - he speaks the truth and is a goldmine of information. Ammon is very highly respected amongst his peers - and rightly so"
Peter Da Vanzo Director, GoFish Search Marketing Services and Author of the Search Engine Blog

"I've known Ammon almost since the conception of SEO and his advice has always been leading edge, I would also say that he doesn't hold back the punches!! I have seen many sites benefit from his advice and hands on work, often using techniques that lead the market by many months..."
Adam Stafford CEO, Fresh Egg

"one of the most legendary personalities in the field of search engine optimization and online marketing ... Ammon Johns is, without question, one of the best SEOs in the world."
Rand Fishkin seomoz.org

"I met Ammon in a now-defunct forum when I first became interested in SEO about four years ago. He was already extremely knowledgeable, having read and apparently retained nearly everything there was to know about the field, and everyone in the forum relied on him for clear, sensible advice. To this day, I try to read everything Ammon writes, both on this site and in a forum we both frequent (http://cre8asiteforums.com). There is no one whose knowledge of SEO and integrity in implementing that knowledge I respect more."
Rick Archer SearchSummit

"Honest, dependable, experienced, friendly... Ammon goes out of his way to help and leaves his ego at home. Ammon is more than a peer; he's become a friend I trust for honest feedback and experienced help."
Kim Krause Owner of the Cre8asite Forums and cre8pc.com

"When you work online and mostly deal with people through the magic of email and forum posts, it's often difficult to know for sure who you can trust and who knows their stuff. With my weekly SEO newsletter, I'm expected to have all the answers to every search engine marketing question, but of course that's just not possible. I'm lucky enough to have a core group of trustworthy, highly intelligent search marketers I can call on when I get stumped.

If I have a question about the UK search engines, PPC ads or the best way to convert visitors into buyers, one of the first people I think of to help me out is Ammon. I always know he will have a knowledgeable, no-fluff answer for me every time. There's also a certain something about Ammon that exudes integrity, which is a rare find these days. It's obvious that he doesn't just "talk a good game." Ammon speaks from years of experience in the search world, and I'm proud to count him among my trusted colleagues and friends."
Jill Whalen SEO Specialist, High Rankings Advisor

"Ammon Johns has been a prominent figure in the world of search engine optimization and marketing for many years. A prolific advisor on all things related to SEO/SEM issues, he's made a well-deserved name for himself on various online fora: I have known him in this capacity longer than I care to remember and never once have I experienced him to be less than openminded, outgoing and incredibly generous in his advice to anyone asking for it.

Nor is he content to simply repeat all those pedestrian tips and tricks you'll find cheaper by the dozen on every corner: while quite unassuming in posture, his knowledgeable, no-nonsense approach is rooted in a very brilliant and flexible mind indeed, making his public and private reflections a veritable gold mine of inspiration to the beginner and the old hand alike.
(If I remember correctly, it was actually Ammon who first publicly coined the expression "search engine marketing" - which really says it all ...)

Anyway, it's a pleasure knowing him and he's always a very good - and very sound! - read."
Ralph Tegtmeier CEO, fantomaster.com PGmbh

"I came to greatly respect Ammon's input within a very short time. What I find most eye-catching is his remarkable breadth of knowledge not only of SEO and pay-per-click but of other Internet marketing and promotional opportunities that are not always grasped. He's able to view both the wider picture and zero in on specifics that need improvement, oftentimes pulling surprising answers seemingly out of his hat. His advice is rock solid, and his knowledge and wit -- and his insistence on improving profits -- make him stand out from the crowd. Ammon is truly a must-read."
Diane Vigil Owner, DianeV. Web Design Studio

"Ammon has provided very good services to my former company, dooyoo.com, and I highly recommend his expertise. If you need help on Internet marketing and search engine optimization matters, his advice is very valuable."
Stefan Smalla www.smalla.net/infofeed/

"When Ammon speaks I take notice. His in-depth knowledge about SEO and internet marketing is worth it's weight in gold. His ability to pass on that information in a clear, logical and friendly manner is the icing on the cake. I value his advice and have had measurable success implementing his suggestions."
Sophie Wegat Internet Marketing Consultant, Nitrogen Interactive

"In Internet marketing, there are very few original thinkers. Most are happy to regurgitate the common cliches. Ammon is not one of these. He is an original thinker, with a deep understanding of how to engineer a successful marketing strategy. He has earned the respect given him."
John Scott V7 Inc. Web Hosting

"Ammon is an extraordinarily talented individual. When he speaks, everyone stops to listen, hoping to get a pearl of wisdom. He has a Top 10 Ranking of the smartest people I've ever known. Surprisingly, he has no ego to speak of, is overly generous with his time and one heck of a nice guy."
Garrick Saito Respree.com Fine Art Posters

"Ammon is a clear-headed and creative thinker. Just put a problem in front of him and he'll have a dozen ways to solve it."
Scottie Claibourne Right-Click Web Consulting

What Ammon's Clients Say:

"Dooyoo is extremely reliant on the traffic search engines bring to our site and Ammon's work has been the main driver in raising our level of search engine referals by 1,000%.

Every Internet company should make use of an SEO in their marketing strategy and Ammon is one of the best out there."
Jules Pancholi Chief Operating Officer, Dooyoo AG

"Amongst the more abstruse areas of ecommerce, Search Engine Optimisation must rank as one of the most impenetrable and arcane arts. Ammon's skills in this area are palpable, but, more importantly for websites just beginning to grapple with this area, his approach is straight forward and comprehensible. Rather than mystifying us, Ammon has helped change our approach to our web presentation in ways where we can see the impact these changes will have.

In short, therefore, I would unhesitatingly encourage website designers and operators to use Ammon's skills - unless of course they are a competing music site!"
