About the blog

Hi, I’m John McElborough. I have reason to believe I’m actually the worlds one and only John McElborough. Still I felt the need to register johnmcelborough.com just to be sure!

On this blog I share my tips predominantly about SEO in the travel and ecommerce sector. I’m planning on concentrating on quality, in-depth posts here which actually add some value to the SEO community. I used to read a lot of SEO blogs but I’ve cut this back massively as I think most of them just regurgitate the same stuff these days without actually adding any practical advice or insight.

I’ve got some good ideas for posts which I think I can give a new angle on but I want to cover them in-depth so don’t expect daily updates. Subscribe to my feed if you’re interested!
