About Evan Bailyn

Evan Bailyn is an internet entrepreneur whose web properties are visited by more than 50 million people each year. After graduating from Columbia University in 2003, Evan taught himself about search engines, quickly discovering how to rank at the top of Google for any search term. He then established a network of education-related businesses, which he later sold.

In January 2006, he founded Cartoon Doll Emporium, one of the largest children’s websites in the world and the realization of his passion for entertaining children. The company received an investment from Allen & Company one year later.

Evan is the founder of First Page Sage, a search engine optimization and social media company with a near-perfect record of getting client websites to rank on the first page of Google, serving celebrity and Fortune 500 clients. He is also the creator of Digits, a web series that has been viewed over 14 million times on Youtube.

Evan is the author of an upcoming book on SEO that will debut in stores in early 2011. He has been interviewed on ABC News and Fox News and featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post, Crain's, and Advertising Age. He was a TED conference nominee and has spoken at the New York Digital Life Conference, the New York Xpo For Business, and the WJA Women In The Know conference. He is also featured on an upcoming segment of Joan Rivers' reality show "How'd You Get So Rich?"

The Evan Bailyn Foundation, established in 2010, provides small grants to school projects that teach outside-the-box creativity, life skills, and emotional awareness. It is his lifelong dream to support alternative education which focuses on emotional development.
