SEO Fusion Acquired by Epiphany Solutions Ltd.

SEO Fusion represented the non-Swedish part of my company. I am very happy to announce that I have just finalized a deal with the british SEM company Epiphany Solutions Ltd which will help me reach the new life I strive for as well as turning over a big part of the company to someone elses hands to take good care of.

This deal includes the very popular directory list AddURL.nu with it’s service, the Smart Link Building service, my three directories (AddURL-Free.com, AXEQ.com and DirectoryDelta.com) as well as 34 other web sites used for marketing purposes to clients.

All recent service enquiries from the last few months that was sent to me and that was put on hold as well as those coming in the near future will now be redirected to Epiphany Solutions who will be able to take care of these.

All valid existing agreements with SEO Fusion and it’s former clients will be honoured until their agreements expire, at which point Epiphany should be approached regarding renewal.

The final figure landed on $157,700 USD. More than half of this will be invested during 2008 in VRE (Virtual Real Estate) that I know will increase in value, requires no or close to zero work to maintain and has a regular passive income.

To read more what happened to me this summer that lead to this decision, read the section about that in my previous post here.

I know that the deal between me and Epiphany Solutions represents a huge win-win for both parties and I wish them good luck!

If you require any further information feel free to email their Managing Director, Shane Quigley on shane@epiphanysolutions.co.uk or call them on 0044 870 199 6382.

    Congratulations. It is good to hear you are making the most of the hard work and effort you put forth over the past few years. As a would be client, it is disappointing, but as a fellow human, it is quite encouraging. Take care.

    Hey Jim,
    Didnt like yur decision on leaving this SEO business, and i frankly feel you sold the whole company for that small amount, it would have valued a lot more if you would have continued.
    Anyway good luck for your future

    Hey bro,

    This is something which I never expected from a person like you. Well a person of your caliber should have looked up in to it more, a company is like a child which needs nourishment doesn’t it?

    Never the less bro, my best wishes are with you!

    All the best!

  10. [...] Allmänna strömningar De tyngre aktörerna inom branschen har insett att tiden då SEO handlade om att jobba med onsite och länkbygge är över. Att konkurrera med det tjänsteutbudet blir snabbt orelevant när kunskapsnivån höjs och den minsta gemensamma nämnaren för alla SEOs är där bara en handfull personer var för två år sedan. Ett av de tydligaste indikationerna på detta är för mig Jim’s avhopp från branschen. Det är helt enkelt inte hållbart i längden att utarma varje sida du äger på länkkraft till kundsiter. Framtiden ligger i marknadsföring och att gå steget längre för att naturligt bygga länkar på ett ärligt och schysst sätt. Detta blir desto mer uppenbart när google förbjuder all form av länkförsäljning. Precis som i alla förändringar så kommer googles system gradvis att anpassas och förbättras till att mer och mer automatiskt kunna identifiera länkar som är köpta. Det märks att branschen håller på att mogna, fler företag erbjuder prestationsbaserade tjänster. Fler och fler företag inser att PPC-nischen kommer att bli viktigare och viktigare när företag anställer inhouse-seo-experter. SEO har gått från att vara en specialiserad avart till ett verktyg som finns i var webbmasters verktygslåda. [...]
