I’ve been working as an SEO consultant since 1999, first as a freelance consultant, then in-house at major publishers while consulting on the side for the past 5 years. It’s been fascinating to see SEO evolve over that time and great fun to keep the knowledge current via conferences, blogs and research. This Search Engine Journal Infographic is a great recap of how SEO has evolved and priorities shifted, tracking major updates. This is a chronicle of what it takes to get to page one presented in a concise recap over a dozen years.
