No 9 for me. I like the connectivity between the m and w.
I will not comment further on the logos, other than if there is a point in time where you are competing against the big boys....
Then you would have to raise the bar to this level if you were looking to compete...

#9 for me.
I'll start with the bad though: I would lose those dollar signs. SEO in the first place is about ranking and search engines, not making money. Plus your website is more in-depth than small players in the field (including me!) who might be fooled by the dollar signs. With the dollar signs I think of website where you fill out CPA offers and you get a few cents.
The character, the laptop, the writing are perfect! The M and W together are easily marketable and could become your official logo. Plain and simple yet effective.
Keep in mind this is only my humble opinion.
Money signs have to go....The colours you picked are obviously a theme for you and they stand out......but they clash and any decent designer would tell you.Dark blue and Yellow would have the same visual impact without looking odd. The one of you on the laptop but without the money signs is the most memorable but........I can see you are running a Pat Flynn type 100% transparent web journey site. Have you considered dropping the characateur and actually putting your own picture up there(shopped and played with) ?
First one for sure.
#9 w/o money signs
