About Me

My name is Mike Nott (aka maku), I live in Southend and I work in Online Marketing.

I am currently Director of Marketing & Operations at Ayima Search Marketing and am also a founder and organiser of the LondonSEO group.

Apart from all things search, I spend any free time I have on music, photography, playing in a band ( Lost Twenty ), traveling and spending time with the family.
