My name is Tim. I live in Sydney, Australia and I’ve worked in the jewellery industry for a total of about seven years, but not in a jewellery retail role. I’m into computers, I’m a programmer. For the period I worked in the industry I was developing web based software for two companies to manage their inventory, jewellery production and a range of other things, but over the years I picked up a lot of knowledge about diamonds, pearls and jewellery in general. And not just what makes them valuable, but how they are priced.
So where am I now? In my final two years in the industry I was working on another site on the side - a consumer review web site with a friend and we are always trying to build traffic to it. Anyway, we learnt a thing or too (but still have much to learn) and we both fell into search engine marketing and optimisation roles which will benefit our side projects immensely as well as of course contributing to the day jobs we have. So that still doesn’t explain this site does it?
Well, this is a little experiment of mine - I impart the valuable knowledge I have learnt about diamonds and see if I can get it to rank in a pretty competitive space. Stay tuned to see what happens!
