That would be a damn fun job. Tooo bad I am in Mexico.

Thanks :thumbsup

I think you just disqualified yourself: Playboy's network has 1000s of keywords they likely want to be topped-out on :)

Can I be the poolboy?

Sucks that all these good jobs require to relocate!

lol exactly...it's like trying to get a good lawyer to defend you on a murder case for 100 bucks an hour ;)


good luck with that, I'm sure the position will be a lot of fun though and from what I gather a great company to work for, so the money is not the only consideration here I'm sure...a ton of networking in other businesses to be had for a saavy individual...

you were right with what you said...

That would be a great job for somebody

jesus... I hate when I forget checking the quote box...

Someone remember to followup on this months from now to see how this all worked out :)

Why is Playboy looking for an SEO whiz? Are you guys interested in how your affiliates are able to get so many signups? Or does it have to do with how often your content is stolen and uploaded to sites?

Why haven't you guys ever gone after the Usenet groups that trade Playboy photos exclusively?

50 playboy SEOs

I think working at Playboy, Inc is like any other job. Its not a constant paradie of titties and ass rubbing up against you.

i have been to their offices, and you are right...while it is a little more laid back than most offices I have seen, i didn't see any titties...but you do get to see some of the girls when they come to chat about their next appearances on playboy shows...
everyone at the offices was extremely cool though, and all the employees always seemed very happy

IMHO hiring an SEO manager is a waste of money when you already have a globally established brand name that people will already be typing the domain name into their browser for.

Short of getting a few more listings, why not invest that money into building your brand further or adding new sites?

Just doesnt make sense to me throwing good money away after something that realistically, isnt going to benefit you as much as your brand name already does :2 cents:

Right, you get to see the girls, but the guys posting think that they'll be dating those beautiful girls.. I'm sure that hitting on the models at work is looked upon in bad taste. Playboy probably screens super hard when they hire.

uuuhhh, I like 'the creation of new pages so that they appear naturally higher in search engine results' the most.

there are 2 more probs here:

1. the guy playboy is looking for is already making $100,000 +/ month
2. why does playboy (I hope I will not get a c&d letter again for metioning it) want to compete with its affiliates? this is a big no-no.



edit: :helpme english grammar ...

You seem to be missing the fact that 'playboy' is CURRENTLY #1 in google and most of the decent search engines anyway for that search term.

You cant really improve a #1 listing so imho, they are just wasting money by hiring an SEO manager.

If they want more SE traffic, they need to start buying it :2 cents:

You must also be an independent worker with very strong organizational skills.

What does a degree do ?

theyre obviously lauching a new site. If the seo manager gets invited to every party at the playboy mansion, it might be worthwhile

I think this whole thread is a fishing expedition.

lol @ A Bachelor?s Degree.

;)

Just looking for someone to specifically focus on that part of the business. It's a huge growth area for us, so we want someone who has experience in the field to come in and help us.

As for the content being stolen, that is obviously a big concern for us as well (although not tied to this position) and we are starting to take appropriate measures to go after some of those groups. Feel free to shoot me an email if you know of any egregious offendors off hand! :winkwink:

While we get a lot of type-in traffic, we obviously have more than just our home page to be worried about. It is not necessarily our main pages that should be optimized for "playboy" that we are concerned with. It is some of the more random keywords that apply to our back pages that we are currently not ranking for.

There is always room for growth and more traffic. Just because we get a ton of type in traffic to our homepage, doesn't mean we are optimized for every page (or even many pages) of our site. Those specific searches are the ones that will probably convert the best too...

In short, we will always have the brand name, but there is still room to improve and add to the type-in traffic...

There's thousands of keywords playboy could have an interest in such as the names of their playmates, any softcore related keyword, etc. etc. They have the brand behind them which is why i think getting some SEO work done would help push their sales even further.

The need for the degree was probably put there by a human resources person who doesnt know anything about the net and secondly ts not crazy about doing away with the need for affiliates. In the corporate world where they make record profits and then lay people off. Its all about ROI . I also dont think a true SEO monster will want to work for someone else.

... playboy's approach is/was to sue everyone that is using any of their copyright protected names ... I am too sure they are so well orgenized, their legal departement will end up sueing the in house SEO team. (hopefully the smart cookie has a batchelor degree)

You sooooooo funny!

#6 is tours.playboy.com/tours/net/naturals.html - is it ok that playboy is using the keyword "big naturals" in title?

Is your email the one listed in the job ad?

Monday, I saw the Christy Hemme pictorial scanned and posted on the WWW. On this site:

http://exp0sed.com/christyhemme/

It would be great if you had some interns who did nothing but surf for stolen content.

:1orglaugh

Yeah, ppl need that to understand russian manual for SE cloaker :1orglaugh

I hate to say it but you guys have your heads so far up your asses that you will never get the shit out of your eyes.

Fire whoever you have as the head of ecommerce. That's the position you should be looking to fill.

SEO is the least of your problems.

Yes, I know that, I was making a vague joke. :)

Matt

Exactly right.

Matt

No, my email address is drioux at playboy dot com

Look at what it would cost to hire a good SE firm full time and cut that in half to see how much you should pay someone fulltime :winkwink:

Why don't you have a low base salary with a big bonus based on results (which are very quantifiable). That would incentivise the SEO and mean you can't lose out if they turn out to be crap. It would also meant that the SEO could leverage off Playboy's resources and maybe make more than they would self-employed.

Usenet is on ... Lots of machines, and ISP's are protected from what is on the machine (legal or not), so who do you go after?

Your right here
I think they will lose access to some of the best-qualified people

Someone who understands "black box analysis" (being able to calculate the formula used by a close system based on the raw data inputs and the resulting outputs) could come from a traditional school education.

It not very likely because you have to cover so many different disciplines (stats, computer science, math, and engineering)
