Who Is Jack Humphrey?

I’ve been doing this internet thing for a long, long time.  I wouldn’t give up the freedom or the feeling I get when I see clients and students succeed for anything.

I started online in 1998.  Messing around, getting myself into stupid things, not listening to my betters like Corey Rudl and others who were getting pretty big at the time.

I started paying attention in 2000 and in 2002 wrote the most widely-downloaded and respected book on link building called “Power Linking.”

Friday Traffic Report Radio Every Friday, 2 p.m. Eastern

ContentDesk.com, a site building membership center, was started in 2005 and quickly sold out in one day.  From there we continued to evolve to what we have today, BlogSuccess.com, the most complete professional blogging training center on the web.

Over the last decade I’ve been responsible for billions (with a B) of visitors for myself and my clients and students who have learned what I have to share about marketing online.

Today, the Friday Traffic Report, BlogSuccess.com, and a few social sites are the most likely places you’ll find me as an active participant.  Though you can find me with over 2000 keyword phrases on Google and links to this and my other sites in practically every corner of the web you surf.

This is my “after” pic…

I hate to brag, but once you have a Simpson’s character, you’re kind of a big deal.

Watch for this beautiful mug all over the social scape, especially Twitter, and you’ll know you’ve found THE Jack Humphrey.

Often Misunderstood

Lots of people fail to “get” my humor and my methods.  Maybe some personal background will help.

Drums, Rock, Wilderness Survival, Family

I’m a big time hair band fanatic.  Since high school I’ve been listening to the likes of Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Dio, Ozzy, and Led Zeppelin, to name a few.

I’m a drummer, so the obligatory shout out to John Bonham is in order.  Yes, I was in marching band.  Yes, I was 1st chair on the snare line.  Yes, the drumline always got the girls.  (Not the cheerleaders.  They were the sole turf of the football team and the makeup counter in the mall.)

I’ve played in bands, been recorded, and even picked up some African percussion with a few Djembes and other drums.  I believe I am the only Djembe player in the world to have played Johnny Cash covers in a redneck bar, or two.

I am a wilderness and wildlife freak, having spent 11 years as an activist and director of a couple environmental groups. Don’t ask me to choose between people and everything else.  And please don’t ask what I would do if I saw an endangered animal eating an endangered plant.  If you have to ask that question, you wouldn’t understand the answer.

If you are lucky enough to be in a plane crash with me somewhere over the Amazon, you’ll eat well and live to tell about it* as I am a wilderness survival nut and wildlife tracker.

*unless you are the one chosen to be eaten by the rest of us during the lean times.

My humor always leans toward shock and awe, sarcasm to the point of being serious, and has been used all my life to weed out a few friends from among 6 billion other human inhabitants of planet Earth.

Favorite movies are the ones where revenge and vigilante justice is doled out by unlikely heroes.  I’m against water boarding unless Jack Bauer is the one pouring the water.

Most people don’t know this, but I was almost single-handedly responsible for Obama’s victory.

I have a beautiful wife, Constance, and a 3 year old boy who is so smart and handsome that I will not fully claim him as mine until the DNA tests come back.

I love not traveling much and prefer the warm glow of HDTV over loud nights in bars.   When I do get out of town, Vegas is my favorite place to sin against man and nature.

Nature is where I go to sin against technology and crowds.
