What is BillHartzer.com?

BillHartzer.com is the personal blog and news site of Bill Hartzer, CEO of Hartzer Consulting. Bill Hartzer is a blogger, writer, and marketer with a passion for writing content that people want to read. BillHartzer.com does not publish articles about fluffy rainbows and feel-good, shareable funny cat photos. You can read those articles and see those posts on other websites, like BuzzFeed, or Bored Panda.

What you’ll find here is content (in many different forms) about the stuff that really matters: topics that help you understand the internet, understand how the web works, and how to do your job better. If you’re a marketer like me, you have a passion for everything internet, everything tech, and everything that’s the latest “gadget, app, website, or technology”. We’re early adopters, and want to know.

Who is Bill Hartzer?

Bill Hartzer is an internet marketing, SEO, and domain name consultant, with a passion for everything web, and everything internet. He started writing computer software manuals on an IBM Mainframe back in the early 1990s. Stared coding html websites back in the mid 1990s, started creating websites and buying & selling domain names. Did “search engine optimization” on his own websites so they’re rank well in the search engines. Well before it was even called “SEO”. It was all about showing up well on Altavista, Excite, and Yahoo! well before Google even existed.

As a writer, he started BillHartzer.com, the website, in 2001, and started blogging on the site around 2003. Ever since, BillHartzer.com has been the place to find snarky, thought-provoking articles, with the occasional breaking news type article or post that made you say “wow, I didn’t know that”. You can learn more about Bill Hartzer by vising Hartzer.com.

“When it comes to getting noticed on the web, if someone loves it, hates it, think it’s funny, or the content you create is controversial, then most likely they will link to it. Links are good for websites.” – Bill Hartzer.
