Where can I find an SEO mentor?
-
I've been having difficulty finding an SEO mentor that can answer my questions and rate the strategy that I'm currently using, as well as bouncing ideas off their experience.
Basically, most SEO companies will not want to do this, and will more likely want to sign you up for a monthly plan in link building, however I want to learn SEO on my own with my team, and many companies in Sydney, I guess, see us as competition and don't want to reveal their 'secrets'.
I've read a bunch of books on SEO and we are starting our SEO campaign now, however having someone to speak to now and again to get feedback on our strategy would be invaluable, however is proving very difficult to find.
On one hand, I know I just have to take action towards link building and other things,
however on the other side, it would be good to have someone to give a helping hand and bounce ideas off who has experience.If someone is interested in becoming a mentor for myself as I work to build my digital agency in Sydney pleaes get in contact with me. The pay is $30 - $40p/h depending on experience.

Have you considered something like job shadowing? Or going about it like a job seeker?
I'd also suggest attending meetups or conferences with other SEOs and making friends, and then from that budding friendship, develop the kind of relationship where you can bounce your ideas off others.
I personally don't believe that a mentor is someone you can buy.

The pay is $30 - $40p/h depending on experience.
This rate is way way low.
It might attract someone with very little experience - but if you are trying to build a digital agency and build expertise for you and your staff then you should be hiring an expert.
Consider multiplying your rate several times and hiring someone who will get you started properly. Take out a loan or work a second job if you must. You need someone who really knows what he/she is doing.

what i feel is its better to read as much as we can and share the knowlede in forums like seomoz.. i dont know how much it will work the 30-40 $ thing.. becuase the SEO guru's or so called experienced persons are more active forums like this.. (just my opinion)

Anybody good makes more than $30-40 per hour. You should consider offering a trade your grunt work for tricks sent your way.

Can anyone recommend Boston/New England SEO conferences/events?
One of my goals for 2012 is to network more, so I'm trying to find some SEO conferences to attend this year. Unfortunately I don't have much of a travel budget, so I'm looking for events/conferences in the Boston/New England area. I'm open to both large conferences and small local events. Are there any Boston specific groups I should join?
