With nearly two decades of professional experience in search engine optimization (SEO), Pay Per Click (PPC), and all facets of digital traffic generation, David Alpern has continuously worked closely with clients to shape company messaging to drive traffic acquisition. This includes examining the current marketing, product, and supporting content of a company to refine its messaging. On a broader level, Alpern’s main goal is to increase inbound web traffic for the purpose of driving increases in sales and lead generation. He has been a speaker and presenter at numerous conferences such as the Direct Marketing Association, the National Conference for Database Marketing, and Retailing.org’s Direct 2 Customer (D2C) Conference. Alpern has also taken his experience into the classroom as an instructor of Internet Marketing at California State University, Long Beach’s College of Business Administration. During his time there, his classes were so highly sought after during every semester registration cycle that the waiting lists for his course became considerable (but he always allowed everyone who physically showed up to ultimately add the class and earn the course credits that semester). “I love opportunities where there’s creation,” Alpern said, citing the value of innovation and discovery within a start-up company recalling his time at AltaVista twenty years ago when that global internet company was experimenting with the mechanics and best practices in the early days of PPC.
