Thank you Bruce! What an absolute legend in the SEO space. Bruce Clay recently passed away leaving behind many thankful people that had their own SEO skills shaped in the early days by Bruce. He was always happy to talk SEO and impart as much of his knowledge as he could to anyone that was willing to listen and learn. We first met at the Double Tree for SES Conference in 1999, I need to go through "thefacebook" to confirm but that sounds about right. One of the best event ever. In a location where no one could leave, so we all just stayed and drank the hotel bar out, and that was the catalyst to how a lifelone friendship started. Here is bruceclay.com wayback from Jan 1998 https://lnkd.in/gmiGU9Uy In contrast our Jan 1998 wayback of our site at the same time: https://lnkd.in/gXYdrUrW (we later rebranded to Trellian.com at the end of 1998 and then much later to Trillion.com) At the time our top product was SubmitWolf along with a suite of search products... while we were only adding websites to search engines, Bruce was already providing help and advice on how to improve your website, before it was even called SEO (Search Engine Optimization). A true pioneer that I am glad to have met and call a friend. We shared many drinks and talks over the years and I wish there were more of both! Rest In Peace Bruce. You will be missed.
