Especially SEO junkies like me knowing the roots means understanding deeper about SEO. It really fascinates me how it began and just for the three words it becomes a big issue in the World Wide Web.

But the book, <b>Net Results</b>, was published March 17, 1998 and recounts an event from 1995. It's informative, but it doesn't provide concrete documentation equivalent to what Adam has provided here. It would be nice to have emails or somesuch from that time. The computer that I used when launching MMG in 1995 is somewhere in my attic. This inspires me to dig it out as I think everything is still on there. When I'm done with it, maybe I should give it to the Smithsonian. <g> In any event, Jason whatever his name is, is irrelevant. - John I’m totally open to documentation earlier than what Adam has provided.
