What Did Search Bloggers Write About Before they Became Celebrities?

Jan 3, 2008 - 9:05 am 1 by

Over at Hobo SEO UK, Shaun Anderson wrote a really interesting "take me back to the early days" post about how established SEO and SEMs got started. He looks at many bloggers' very first posts and many have come a long way since then.

For example, here's Danny Sullivan's first personal blog post. And apparently Jim Boykin is a snail and Sebastian just wanted to follow the crowd.

By the way, Barry's first personal blog post is here. And here is Search Engine Roundtable's first post. Nostalgic, isn't it?

It's funny and cool at the same time to see how many bloggers have started and how they have changed and grown over the months and years of blogging.
