Ted Nelson is an American sociologist, philosopher, and pioneer of information technology. He coined the terms "hypertext" and "hypermedia"... he was the first who wanted make the search system easier. I can't say that he is inventor of SEO, but thanks to his works the SEO was invented by different developers. Webmasters and content providers began optimizing sites for search engines in the mid-1990s, as the first search engines were cataloging the early Web. Initially, all webmasters needed to do was submit the address of a page, or URL, to the various engines which would send a "spider" to "crawl" that page, extract links to other pages from it, and return information found on the page to be indexed.According to industry analyst Danny Sullivan, the phrase "search engine optimization" probably came into use in 1997.
That's a good question. I searched it on Google but don't find the inventor.. Anybody really knows who's the mastermind of SEO?
Definitely the Google. Its all started when Google decided to present the search results will be presented according to the relevancy.
Requirement is the key of Invention, in today's business advertising is the key to populate the business and SEO is the online medium of doing the advertisement. So it is clear that SEO is invented by the business.
Yes yahoo is more older then Google and at that time we optimized our site for yahoo. Then Google come and we all get moved to Google. But i think yahoo should be 1st for this topic or i would like to say that yahoo invent SEO.
I think its all need..when search engines entered web, People started registering there businesses and who will be on top invented SEO Process..
I believe that there is no ONE inventor... the phrase search engine optimization was entered by Danny Sullivan, but the system is the result of many developers' inventions and work...
SEO is the big field of internet. and i think it get started in 1990 but cant say any thing about the father of seo might be Larry Page !
I believe this is the person that coined the term SEO... But not officially recognized. If we are going to find the inventor, there is no specific invention in the first place. The new system today has an evolution form the contribution of several individuals who have been working in the SEO world.
Search Engine gave birth to new field of IT which is known as SEO. Which you becomes a complete profession when Google open the new chapter of search.
Google and other search engine prepare a base for invention of SEO, because when google come live then people start searching on it. Webmasters and content providers began optimizing sites for search engines in the mid-1990s.
