Hi there! My name is Duane Brown.
I am a writer, strategist and researcher, not to mention a mean chef in the kitchen. I specialize in digital marketing, which includes search (PPC, SEO & link building), social media and web analytics. I write on this blog, do freelance work for various clients, maintain GameIndex and just to keep things interesting... I'm looking to launch a boutique e-com site.
