everyone at the offices was extremely cool though, and all the employees always seemed very happyComment

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

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:
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.Originally posted by Terenzo
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

What does a degree do ?Originally posted by rayadp05Comment

theyre obviously lauching a new site. If the seo manager gets invited to every party at the playboy mansion, it might be worthwhile<a href="http://www.trafficholder.com/aff.php?leggytv">TrafficHolder.com - Buy/Sell Adult Traffic</a>Comment

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.Originally posted by inthestars
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!

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.Originally posted by European LeeIMHO 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.

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...Comment

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.Originally posted by European Lee

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.Comment

... 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)Originally posted by WiredGuy

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

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.SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.Comment

Your right hereOriginally posted by tony404
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)

"The Playboy name, the Spice name, and any affiliated or trademarked terms, may NOT be used in the metatags or domain name of your site or in any email address used by you. "
why would any search engine expert beat playboy ranking for that trademark terms only to have their affiliate revenue pulled.
If they competed against the best SEO experts equally they would not be anywhere close to the top.

You don't get it: Playboy has a ton of web "properties", niche sites, etc. Just holding onto the top spot for "Playboy" isn't going to bring anywhere near as much traffic -> sales as optimizing for all the terms for their various sites.Originally posted by European LeeIMHO 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.

I'm sure this will be a very big job for the one they hire, with a LOT of work on researching keywords and then targeting them.Comment

Sue 1000 individual users for posting to the USENET groups that are DEDICATED TO PLAYBOYPICS and that will end things fast. Make sure gets a ton of publicity. Go after people just like the movie industry (RIAA) for downloading videos. (And by the way, there are ALOT of Playboy DVDs being traded using P2P applications).Originally posted by TheDocComment

My 2 cents on this is that its a progressive step taken by an enlightened company.
I have been saying for months now that quality paysites like playboy and etc have the best content on the web and should figure in all search engine rankings for all sort of niche terms.They all need a qualified SEO to work with them or advise them on how to utilise their content for the maximun exposure.
A full time seo isn't always necessary and IMO hiring a seo as a consultant is probably more cost effective and also possibly more likely to attract a already successful SEO.
A seo consultant such as myself charges $250 hr but only needs a limited time to point out the direction a site needs to take to attract SE traffic
For examples of se traffic a paysite can get check out the keywords "tits", 'cum", "milf", "asses", huge cocks, "big cocks" "handjobs" in google.
I am settling in my new country Vanuatu and will be soon available to help interested paysite owners to maximise their chance of getting a piece of the SE pie.
Thanks for reading my selfless promotion

UseNet is protected, the idea is protected. For the most part people posting to it aren't breaking the law. I can't remember exactly which law, ISP act or something. UseNet and the people that post on them are almost impossible to go after. They come from every country, IP's and headers are normally faked. It's also not 1000's, it?s tens of thousands of people posting PB pictures. It would cost PB hundreds of millions to go after newsgroups.Originally posted by inthestars ~TheDoc - ICQ7765825

I get a feeling you are not familiar with the NNTP protocol.Originally posted by inthestars
The majority of the posters on alt.binaries.* are using a paid service from premium usenet services like www.easynews.com and www.giganews.com. They not only hide the poster's IP address and headers, they clear all server logs 24hours later. Instantly after it's posted, the post will be propogating to all ISP's servers on planet Earth.
Playboy will have to get access to those logs before the logs are deleted.Comment

I don't see the RIAA and MPAA's efforts to be effective. While they did get the press and media's attention and did shut down a couple hundred (or thousand) traders, the P2P networks continue to flourish with pirated music/movies. I think if Playboy tried this, it would piss off end users more than anything.
