This is the part of the website where I have to tell a little bit more about myself. Although I’m a little bit shy, I’ll give it a try…

My name is Wiep Knol (Wiep is pronounced as the ‘V’ from Vodka, with the ‘eep’ from Deep), I’m an internet marketer and I live in the Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

I work part-time at Tribal Internet Marketing in Den Bosch, The Netherlands-, and do several other things in online marketing as well. One of these things is DotPioneers, which I founded in 2008 together with a good friend, and where we create, develop and manage several fun online projects. Also, I have attended several leading industry events, such as Search Marketing Expo (SMX), Search Engine Strategies (SES) and Affiliate4u Expo (A4U) as a speaker. Therefore, most of the posts on Wiep.net discuss similar topics; link building, SEO and other online marketing related issues.

In 2007, I started this blog for a couple of reasons; to improve both my writing and my English skills, to share my opinions about link building, to meet new people and to start conversations. Now, in 2009, I can definitely say that all of these goals have been reached, as this blog was the foundation for the next step in my career.

If you happen to speak Dutch (or if you have always wanted to visit The Netherlands and never found a good reason before), you can read even more about me here, or you can book me and/ or Martijn for a Dutch link building campaign.

Besides online marketing, Pugs are my other subject of interest – I guess it’s their pretty face. Although I loved winning a Semmy in the link building category, my most prestigious achievement was born on December 13th 2007 and he’s called Liam. Besides all online stuff and my son, I also enjoy Thai food, watching football (soccer), baseball and movies.

If you want to know more about me, feel free to visit my Del.icio.us page, add me as your friend on StumbleUpon, follow me on Twitter, check out my Linkedin profile or send me an email. You can also drop me a comment; I’ll even leave the link juice tap open to those who post more than one comment (thanks to the LinkLove plugin) until deleting spam takes up too much of my time.
