Hello SEOs and marketers. My name is Jordan Cooney from Previsible. Joining me today is Lane Ellis, who is the CEO and founder of RL Systems. RL Systems specializes in providing innovative software solutions for businesses looking to streamline their operations and improve efficiency. Today, Lane and I are going to discuss how fitness and endurance sports can enhance SEO efforts. Okay, here's my conversation with Lane Ellis, the CEO and founder of RL Systems. Lane, welcome to the Voices of Search podcast.
Hey, thanks, Jordan. Wonderful to be here. Thanks for having me on the Voices of Search podcast.
Yeah, absolutely. Um, I'm pumped to have you on uh for for a lot of different reasons. But I think most importantly, you know, you you're someone who has a lot of history with endurance sports. Remarkably, I think you own the world record for the longest distance cross-country ski. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.
Well, uh it's it's uh the longest um cross country ski streak, um, which is very kind of similar but a little different, and we'll get into that. Okay. Um yeah, there's uh and I wanna talk about some of the uh ways that fitness and endurance sports can enhance search and SEO efforts. Um you might think, hey, how the heck can endurance sports help SEO? But we'll get into some ways that I think uh that they I think it can help.
Absolutely. And I mean, first and foremost, I think I think for our listeners, it's it's great to know that there's an endurance sport athlete on this conversation. So so you'll definitely give us some background on that. And and for this topic, I think it's really interesting to see the connection of what typically is our professional world and how fitness and sports can really help from either a a personal perspective or even from a health perspective in what we do within with an SEO. I I know that, you know, physical health has so much to do with your mental health and it and it all really connects together. So Solane, maybe give us a little bit of background on your journey uh through kind of endurance in sports and and how you've uh used that throughout your life.
Yeah, you bet, Jordan. Um, one thing I'll say too is that it's uh as I've gotten older, this is my 41st year working in online communications. I started out when I was a mere child of 16. Um and things like endurance sports and other areas of our lives have become more important as I've gotten older. And they seem Deep into professional work and offer just wonderful gifts we that we can bring into our professional lives. Uh when we uh kind of let down some of those walls and start to learn from um other areas of our lives, whether it's endurance sports or different hobbies, um, different passions we have outside of work. So let me tell you a little bit about where I started. I started back in 1984 when I was 16 years old running a computer bulletin board system on my Commodore 64 computer.
And that was kind of my beginning of search back in those days. Oh We used to optimize our directory structures of how we had our files set up on the servers to make them as friendly for search as possible. Um it wasn't the web back then.
How did Lane Ellis’ early tech experiences shape his SEO mindset?
It was just logging in one person at a time to a BBS. But still, um when you have thousands of files like I used to on my BBS programs that that people could download public domain programs. You need to break them down into uh, you know, back then it was kind of rudimentary structures of directories.
