I'm proud to welcome Guillaume Bouchard to our blogging team at SEOmoz. Guillaume and I have communicated a few times over email, but after meeting him at the conference, I knew he was a guy who "gets it". In the search marketing field, Guillaume may be relatively unknown, but he's one of French-speaking Canada's foremost SEOs. Guillaume deals with tough issues in North America that many of us don't see on a regular basis. I'm looking forward to hearing from him on issues like Internet adoption in Quebec, multi-language issues, marketing to a local and highly uniqe audience and dealing with clients and searchers who don't have the sophistication of many in the US and Europe.

Welcome to the team, Guillaume - and thanks for your post on day 1 of the conference.
