Drive results – “Yes, we can!”

I am very results-driven.  I enjoy setting targets and reaching them.  I also enjoy overcoming challenges.  I hope that I can take this a step further in becoming very good at helping others achieve and reach their objectives.  As Mr. Zig Ziglar always preach, “you can have everything in life you want, if you’ll just help enough other people get what they want.”

So, shall we work together achieve results?  Feel free to contact me with series offers and ideas.

Positive changes

I’m all for green living and making a positive contribution to family, friends, and the society.  Though I have my hands full, with my startup company, I do think about everyone and everything.  And, I most definitely care about Mongolia.  I really hope the best for the development and growth for Mongolia.  As for US, I don’t have to worry too much, there are enough good things going for it where it will continue on a good path for decades or maybe even centuries to come.

If you have some ideas to make positive changes in the world and make money at the same time, you HAVE TO let me know!   I already support NGO’s and cannot support anymore at this moment, but I am most definitely interested in helping if we can all benefit.  I have to be a little bit capitalist at this point in my life.

A little bit about me…

Mergen Chuluun on a beach

1. I am currently managing my own start-up as Director and Internet Marketing Consultant at Webguru.
2. I have about four years of experience managing at the executive or owner level between Sweet Road, TSMGM, Webguru, and Expat Service Mongolia.
3. I have four years of experience working in financial analysis, with the duties of reporting, overseeing profitability, pricing, business writing, etc
4. I am a 2003 graduate of 2002 class at College of Business at Colorado State University (stayed extra year to pick up an additional degree in Finance)
5. I enjoy playing basketball, snowboarding, and anything relating to outdoors and sports
6. I am a problem-solver and enjoy overcoming challenges to reach my objectives
7. My main goal right now is to help each of my clients reach their objectives, whether it is having better presence online, generating additional sales leads, or helping improve bottom line

SEO testing & this blog:

You will notice that I have quite a random mix of posts here.  Some of that is for a reason.  I do some of my SEO testing there.

For example, here are some of my SEO achievements with my blog (as of May 2009):

1. Go to google.com.  Make sure it is google.com and not google.com.au, google.mn, or anything like that
2. Try searching “1994 Nuggets”.  My blog post appears at 4 on first page.  “1994 Denver Nuggets” will show at 8 on first page as well.  This post appears before the likes of Yahoo News, Sports Illustrated, CBS News, and even Wikipedia!
3. Also, try searching “Miss Mongolia 2008″ and “Miss Mongolia” — a blog post of mine will appear at 6 or 7 on first page and at 11on second page, respectively
4. And, a post on “electric sports car” received 2000+ visits in two days thanks to article promotions via social media

Not too bad, eh?

What’s really amazing is that my blog is only two months old.  As such, my blog does not benefit from aging or PageRanks for the above results.  Furthermore, my blog is not even centered around the above blog posts, benefiting from relevant/similar links.  And, even more amazing is that I did not do anything other than half-hearted on page optimization for most of my articles.  Showing up on the first page for 1994 Nuggets out of nearly half a million search results and ahead of Yahoo and Wikipedia is really quite something IMHO.

Imagine the results if I really honed in on this stuff because I was paid well.  To find out more about our SEO services at my company site, please visit search engine optimiation (SEO) services at WebGuru.

Some interesting ways to spell Mergen Chuluun:

I’ve had people call me or try to spell my name in many different ways.  Here are some notable ones:

• Megan – this was in junior high in 8th grade.  For PE class, I was assigned to the girls locker room (I don’t think I minded).  I still get telemarketers and people who act hasty in their emails, write my name as Megan.  This is not cool.
• Mergan – I give this one the benefit of the doubt mostly because everyone, well at least most of the Americans that I met, at some point has spelled my name as such
• Morgan – this is a classic one; some people still call me Morgan to this day
• Merigan – one Arabic childhood friend calls me that
• Merlin – nickname given to me by some; the interesting thing is that there actually is a lot of congruency for this name.  My name Mergen in Mongolian has two meanings: a) adjective describing sharp-shooters like Robin Hood and b) adjective describing wise or sage person.  And, both Merlin and Mergen are such people. 
• Morgan Chileaun – I don’t remember where I got this one, but I did.  It was quite funny.  hehe
• Merg Dawg or Merg Dog – I guess I used to be cool at some point in my life.  I was “in” with the crowd.
