About Mark Welch
In the 1990s and 2000s, I was both a web publisher and an internet marketing consultant.
As a web publisher, my primary focus was on providing “relevant and useful” content on topics that interest me.
As an internet marketing consultant, I advised merchants on strategies to increase sales (primarily using “performance-based” marketing techniques, including affiliate programs and pay-per-click search advertising).
Earlier, I was an attorney. I also briefly explored a career as a teacher. Before that, I was a reporter, reviewer, and editor for computer magazines, and I co-authored a nationally syndicated newspaper column.
I created my first web site in 1996 to promote my estate-planning law practice; I later sold that site to another law firm. I also created a web site about “web site banner advertising” in 1996, which evolved into Adbility.com, which I also sold in 1999 (via eBay auction). I’ve also created and sold several directory web sites.
