About Mark Hodson
I have been a journalist for 20 years and was a freelance travel writer on The Sunday Times in London for more than 12 years. During that time I visited more than 70 countries and had more than 500 articles published.
I am best known for my consumer journalism, including a string of high-profile campaigns I have managed for The Sunday Times, including the Clean Up Car Hire campaign in 2006.
In 2005 I was the first travel journalist to report back from the Maldives after the tsunami. In the following weeks I filed on-the-spot reports from stricken areas of Sri Lanka and Thailand.
I won several writing awards, including Best National Newspaper Feature at the 2006 Caribbean Travel Writing Awards.
I started writing about the internet for The Sunday Times in 1997, with a particular interest in search. I now work as a SEO (search engine optimisation) consultant.
In September 2010, I was named among the UK's Top 50 Travel Writers in a survey of journalists by Press Gazette magazine.
There's only one Mark Hodson
I like to think there's only one Mark Hodson. In fact there are dozens of us.
One runs a company called Distinction Travel (nothing to do with me). Another takes saucy photographs (definitely not me). There's a geochemist, a motorbike enthusiast, a financial advisor and another who brought shame to the name by stealing £1.8m from his frail mother.
You'll find them all on Google if you look far enough down the results pages. Happily, I am number 1. How did I make that happen? Find out more about SEO, or see my blog.
