How Some Well-Known SEOs Got Into SEO

Chris Winfield compiled a fun industry related post to read named How Did You Get Started in SEO?

He basically asked some of the more well-known SEOs in the space, how they got their start in SEO. Some stories are pretty standard, while others are not. The standard story is, I had a client, they wanted to know how to come up in a search engine and here I am now. Then there were some not so standard stories.

Here are quick links to the stories:

• Aaron Chronister
• Aaron Wall
• Adam Audette
• Danny Sullivan
• Dave Naylor
• Debra Mastaler
• Jill Whalen
• John Andrews
• Joost de Valk
• Loren Baker
• Marcus Tandler
• Marshall Simmonds
• Melanie Mitchell
• Dr. Michael Dorausch
• Patrick Altoft
• Rae Hoffman
• Rand Fishkin
