Who Coined The Term SEO?
Oct 2, 2008 at 3:55pm ET by Bob Heyman
Someone's trying to trademark the term SEO, which has roiled the SEO community. The someone is named Jason Gambert, and he has filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office, claiming to have coined the term "SEO" (for Search Engine Optimization). SEOMoz and others have moved to challenge Gambert's claim. As the person (along with my partner Leland Harden), who actually did coin the term Search Engine Optimization back in 1995, I feel uniquely qualified to weigh in on the validity of Gambert's claim.

Early Yahoo Postmortem And Google CEO Eric Schmidt On The Prospect Of MicroHoo
Mar 17, 2008 at 9:35am ET by Greg Sterling

Perhaps the first of these is from the Mercury News, which recounts the history of Google and Yahoo's early relationship and how the latter essentially "made" Google, which went on to become its most formidable competitor. The piece indirectly argues that Yahoo's failure to recognize Google as a threat -- despite Yahoo CEO Terry Semel's unsuccessful early attempt to buy it -- is partly responsible for the company's predicament today.
