No, I haven't seen this from another thread. My comment wasn't meant to be "snotty" either - you're question was a bit vague, "Gert, How long have you been going?". I wasn't too sure what you meant by that, so the best assumtion I could make was that you we meant; how long have I been doing SEO for and if you've been in the SEO game or know anything about it, you would know that saying "I've been doing SEO for X years" means absolutely nothing.

I've been working with a few people that claim they are SEO's, and some of them have even been doing it for over 10 years, but yet they don't know much, they can do the basics but when it comes to large corporate sites, they have no clue where to start. The guy that introduced me to SEO and taught me about 10% of what I know right now, has been doing SEO for over 8 years, but today he's techniques and skills are so outdated it's not even funny.

So to come back to why it might have sounded "snotty", I didn't want to say "I've been doing it for 4 years" (which is the true amount of time) as that statement means absolutely nothing so I thought a better answer would be; long enough to know what works. Hope that makes sense

Oh and about the work you want done, I don't do "odd jobs", but I'll gladly refer you to a couple of guys that's doing some great work at the moment, it all depends what you're looking for. Are you targetting local, national or international audiences? Product or services? Niche etc?
