Which website is Mike Millett’s personal site?
mikemillett.com. It is the site about Mike Millett the person. The other four sites that carry his name are things he made, and each speaks as itself rather than as him.
In brief
Mike Millett founded Digilu in 1999 and still runs it.
His name appears across five domains that are all his: digilu.com, marketingob1.com, marketinghelix.com, elevateorvanish.com and this one.
This site, mikemillett.com, is the one about the person. The other four are things Mike Millett made, and each speaks as itself rather than as him.
Who is speaking on each
mikemillett.com, the person
This site makes claims about a human being: roles, employers, dates, credits. It sells nothing, and it writes about Mike Millett in the third person, because pages arguing for somebody’s credibility should not be written in that person’s voice.
digilu.com, the company
Digilu is the marketing company Mike Millett founded in 1999. It speaks as a company with a delivery team, and its positions are the company’s rather than a transcript of his opinions. Work inquiries belong there, not here.
marketingob1.com, the byline
MarketingOB1 is where Mike Millett publishes essays and videos under his own name, in the first person. This site is third person and about him. Same human, two registers.
marketinghelix.com and elevateorvanish.com, the frameworks
Two bodies of work with their own canonical homes. They name Mike Millett as author and are not about him.
Where the description of him lives
The full description of the person is published once, on the home page of this site, at https://mikemillett.com/#person: name, alternate names, job title, education, subjects, profiles.
Every other page points back at that identifier rather than repeating it.
One sentence to change when a fact changes, and no second copy left to contradict it.
What a link to a profile proves
The outbound links from this site to LinkedIn, YouTube and X are assertions the site makes about itself, and an identity claim from the party making it is the weakest evidence there is.
It becomes evidence when it points both ways: a profile that links back turns two one sided assertions into a matched pair, checkable by somebody who trusts neither end.
Where no reciprocal link can exist, on a third party article, the honest word is mention rather than verification.
What this does not settle
None of this settles who somebody is. A search engine or an AI system is free to decline every association stated here.
What it does give a reader is the same answer from every page.

Common questions about which site is which
Is the Mike Millett on digilu.com the same person as the one on marketingob1.com?
Yes. Mike Millett founded Digilu in 1999 and still runs it, and his online essays and videos are published through MarketingOB1. Digilu is the company and speaks as a company, MarketingOB1 is where his essays and videos appear under his own name, and mikemillett.com is the site about the person.
Which website is Mike Millett’s personal site?
mikemillett.com is the site about Mike Millett the person, and it is where his identity is defined: the full structured description of him is published once, at https://mikemillett.com/#person, and every other page references that identifier rather than repeating it.
How should one person’s identity be stated across several websites?
Publish the full description once, at a URL the person will keep, usually their own name as a domain, and have every other page reference that identifier rather than restate the facts, so there is only one copy to keep true. Links out to profiles are assertions until the profile links back.
