About Sugarrae aka Rae Hoffman - Internet Marketing and SEO Consultant

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my feed or subscribe to me on Twitter, which is updated on a more frequent - and more meaningless - basis.

I’m Rae Hoffman, also known as Sugarrae. I assume you’re on this page because you want to know about me or my SEO consulting services.

Professional:

I’m the Principal of Sugarrae SEO Consulting and do various types of Internet marketing; search engine optimization, viral marketing, affiliate marketing, site auditing, link development road maps and tons of other little nooks and crannies of this business. I run various affiliate and content websites – ranging from those in highly competitive to those in niche areas. I am also the owner of MFE Interactive. I fell into this industry by accident, but I couldn’t imagine ever doing anything else. As the business name might suggest, I’m also for hire, though not for sale.

I spend an insane amount of time online. Some of it reading at the forums I used to moderate (and posting) at forums and on various social media sites and most of the rest working, Facebooking, Twittering and talking on messenger (also known as the Internet water cooler). If I’m offline more than eight hours at a time, you can bet I’m speaking at a conference, sitting on a Q&A panel or hanging out with friends in various locations.

If you wound up here after listening to my radio interview on Good Karma about hiring an SEO consultant, practice what I preach and check out what the search engines have on me if you want (you can also check out my LinkedIn profile):

Personal:

I’m a single mom to three gorgeous kids who are my lights and my strengths. I love to travel and always bring an extra suitcase when I do because the one thing I love to do more is shop. I also own, according to many, an “insane amount of shoes”.

I have some kind of weird fascination with the mafia – real life stories for the most part and I know a weird amount of facts about American mobsters. I own a shelf of books on the topic – both fact and fiction (with a strong lean towards fact). Surprise, surprise – my favorite TV show is the Sopranos and my favorite book of all time is The Last Don (spare yourself from the movie). Of course, a very close second is: Bringing Down the House.

I am taken with the sport of gambling – Pai Gow, Craps and Texas Holdem being my vices of choice. I’m a “regular” at several Las Vegas and Canadian casinos and am pissed about not being able to play at my favorite online poker rooms anymore. I’m also a huge football fan as well as being a massive MMA Fan (mixed martial arts for those of you who don’t know the acronym).
