What do SEO, webmaster tools and I have in common?

Well I have taken a new role with the Live Search team and will be focusing on the Search Engine Optimization and webmaster tools. This will be a little stretch for me, since it will be out of my normal Developer technologies, but I will be working with technologies on the Web still which is where I am most comfortable. I love the opportunity to work with this team. Some of the people I have worked with before and others are new.

For those of you hearing SEO or Webmaster tools for the first time here is a bit of background and definition. With search now driving more than 30% of all traffic to many websites, the answer to this question could have a significant impact on your business.
