• Internet was the oldest technology amongst those related to SEO, and
  can be considered as the father of SEO

• World wide web which was a turning point in history of
  Internet, without which SEO might have never been a reality; can be
  considered to be the mother of SEO

• Search Engines were the next major event prior to the birth of SEO
  and these can be considered as the elder sibling of SEO, because again
  only after they were created SEO would follow them and be born

• Finally comes the Search Engine Optimization, which when
  compared to all others is a mere baby. SEO is developing and growing
  at a very fast pace even today

History of SEO

• As Internet was growing it was being noticed that the relevancy
  of ranked results was having significant impact on the traffic
  coming to the web pages

• Rather than the web just being a collection of shared files, the
  World Wide Web opened up concepts of e-commerce and
  internet marketing

• With new avenues of sales to be gained, companies found value
  in creating and promoting their websites

• Internet was being looked upon as a viable money making
  industry
• In 1996, Christine Churchill discovered the potential of Internet
  marketing after she built websites for her employer and noticed
  the intensive labour involved with maintenance

• Her husband and a friend developed software tools to reduce
  the burden. Soon, she created an online company selling these
  software tools

• Many such early SEO pioneers were coming up across USA and
  UK
Many early pioneers eventually met up and learned from each other
either in person or via subscriptions to email marketing newsletters
related to this new field of Internet search marketing
John Audette


• In 1995, John Audette formed Multi-Media Marketing
  Group (MMG) in Lake Oswego, Oregon on the sale of
  4,000 copies of his $30 online book about marketing on
  the World Wide Web

• He recruited many future SEO pioneers. MMG created the
  famous early I-Search Internet marketing newsletter with
  at one time had 15 to 20,000 subscribers.
Danny Sullivan



• John also recruited famed early pioneer Danny Sullivan to teach
  his staff his knowledge of the tricks of the search ranking
  trade, and during that meeting he coined the phrase
  “search engine optimization.”



• Whether or not it was the first use of the term is not known
The early pioneers were all discovering the importance of
Internet marketing of websites and the need for optimizing
them for higher rank by search engines and increased traffic.
