Tag optimizations and identify localized or specialized SEO and SEM strategies both here in the Philippines, Europe and Internationally. - you’re looking for a grizzled gray hatter :)
• Experience with Paid Per Click Search Engine Marketing including Google AdWords, Google page rank and Overture, Espotting a plus. - After you’ve shortlisted candidates based on your first qualification, then you’ll have to chop probably 80% off the list. Adwords and Overture are not for the faint hearted, therefore not too many Pinoy SEOs test the PPC waters.
• Ability to write quality keyword lists, Give Keywords consultancy, optimize Title and Meta tags and keyword-rich text. Candidate is also expected to re rwite or create new content. - plenty of copywriters around, it’s just a matter of giving them the right tools and training, right girls?

• Programming knowledge in PHP and asp.net will be considered a Plus. - If you have a solid understanding of what you want, you can always outsource the nitty gritty to a programmer.
