Mike Moran has spent his career blending technology and business insights to create real business value.

Mike is an author, public speaker, and consultant, now serving as Chief Strategist at Converseon, a leading social media marketing agency. Mike is a former IBM Distinguished Engineer and a frequent conference speaker on the subjects of search marketing, enterprise search, interactive marketing, and other subjects.

Mike worked at ibm.com for eight years, pioneering IBM's successful search marketing program. IBM's Web site of over two million pages was a classic "big company" Web site that has traditionally been difficult to optimize for search marketing.

Mike, working with Bill Hunt of Global Strategies International, developed a strategy for search engine marketing that works for any business, large or small.

Moran and Hunt spearheaded IBM's content improvement that has resulted in dramatic gains in traffic from Google and other Internet portals. Their IBM Press book Search Engine Marketing, Inc., now in its second edition, shows any business the steps to search marketing success.

Mike's second book on Internet marketing, Do It Wrong Quickly, was named one of the top business books of 2007 by the Miami Herald.

Mike also writes the Biznology newsletter and blog, which offers free tips for improving the value you get from your technology investments.

Bringing Business and Technology Together

You have heard the horror stories. Perhaps you were part of the dot-bomb era, when piles of cash were spent on technological marvels that never returned the money invested. Or you had a great business idea, but the technology never quite worked.

What was missing from those situations? Biznology, that's what. The Biznology Blog takes on topics where technology and business intersect--topics that require both business acumen and technical smarts, such as search marketing, Web site search, personalization, Web metrics, and more.
