Ok… This week you can fire questions at the Muse of the Moz, none other then Rebecca Kelley! When the seductress of SEO is not decoding search engine algorithms she enjoys watching television among many other things.
Rebecca recently told me:
Yeah, I watch Heroes, Entourage, Lost, The Office, 30 Rock, Scrubs,
Flight of the Conchords, The Wire, Curb Your Enthusiasm…I watch a
lot of TV. I also see around 80 or so movies in the theaters each
year.
I am always amazed at the questions you guys come up with and I am sure Rebecca will also… so fire away at her!

I worked in SEO for several years for agencies and private firms. Now I manage the Web sites for a large company. We are playing around with the idea of social media and how it can help us.

Why do you work for SEOmoz when you could be working on your own sites/projects? Why earn money for Rand when you could be earning way more money working for yourself?
Even if you were not working on your own sites and decided to go the Consulting route… think of how much more you could make.
I guess I don’t understand why any skilled SEO would ever work for someone else.
Yeah, Boowrecka. What’s up with that?
