Mani, there was SEO back then and people of that A group like BurceClay, Danny, DaveN, Greg Boser etc were present but back then it was just about spamming the engines. Which we all know about.
But none to be seen on Google, yea?
I have been personally doing SEO since 1999. SEO includes creating links and add content, so thats SEO back in the late 1990’s in California for me.

I think the first “seo” result on Google happend with seobook. May be i’m wrong ?
You are right: There was no SEO
And you are wrong: There was “Search+Engine+Optimization”

Mostly it was META tag manipulation and directory submission. Even myself, wrote an article on how to submit to directories, in 2002.

Thanks Sree - that brings more clarity to things.
[...] the web the way it was in 2001. The idea of this post came from Mani, who found out that there was no SEO back in 2001. I thought that I’d do a search of WordPress and will try and find out that what comes up, [...]
They were out there, it was the term itself that had not gone mainstream as Sree shows with his search term. I found many under similar terms such as: search engine rankings, search engine tools, ect..
I’ve been online from the mid 90’s and it feels like the term SEO has been around forever. I can’t remember it not being a part of web life.
Dude seo the short form wasnt there.. but search engine optimization was always there…
Looking at http://web.archive.org/web/20011201015622/www.bruceclay.com/web_rank.htm makes me feel there was traces of SEO.. but not in an ethical way though.
Interesting Topic :).
