About Link Fish

A view of our office fish tank

Link Fish Media is a link building company headquartered in Greensboro, NC. Owners Jay Young and Julie Joyce have been actively involved in search engine marketing and search engine optimization since 2003, with previous experience in site development, technical writing, project management, quality assurance testing, and systems administration. Considering the huge amount of effort that it takes to build and maintain a successful linking campaign, Link Fish Media was born in a desire to spin off part of the Str0ud company into an entity devoted entirely to everything linky, using link acquisition specialists who are specially trained to approach both small and large scale link building in a natural manner for companies who need more than just a few links per month.

Jay and Julie also own Str0ud LLC, a search engine marketing company that conducts international SEO campaigns and PPC management in the US and abroad.

Jay Young (JaysGlasses.com) serves as Link Fish’s CEO and Head of Client Services. When Jay isn’t exercising he is reading about exercising and shopping for exercise-related items. He adores his iPad and the show Supernatural.

Julie Joyce (SEO-Chicks.com) serves as Link Fish’s Director of Operations. Her mood depends upon the humidity and she enjoys cannibal movies and Swedish crime novels.

Sean Poteat

Sean Poteat is Head of IT (aka the Angry IT Guy) at Link Fish Media, where he continually protests against the purchase of new Macs, keeps our PCs virus-free, and oversees the IT staff. In his spare time Sean enjoys playing disc golf and dissing Apple.

Keith Warther is the senior link builder and our very own Design Director, honing his linking and design skills (and patience) on a daily basis as he contributes to the Avant Greensboro blog, sends out 100 link requests a day, listens to good music that comes from places other than just Brooklyn, and oversees site design on all of our web properties.
