SpyFu highlights new opportunities for search engine marketers by exposing the advertising secret sauce of their most successful competitors.

I helped create and launch this successful web start up with just two other developers out of the spare bedroom of a house. I had my hands in all areas of this business, but to summarize I was involved in:
-
The SpyFu data collection. This was an enormous web scraping undertaking that involved recording ads and stats for millions of keywords so that company ad campaigns and budgets could be estimated.
-
Recon Reports. These were white label-able pdfs that a search engine marketer could generate from our data set to pitch to new clients or report progress to existing ones.
-
The SpyFu purchase pipeline. This securely collected credit card information and submitted them to payment processors. ​
