What a legend in the industry Bill Slawski is! I had been reading Bill's work for many years before I ever met him. Any time I saw that a new post on SEObytheSea had been published, I stopped what I was doing and immediately read it. So, when I finally started attending more conferences and actually speaking at them, I determined to meet Bill in person. My first impressions of Bill were that he was humble and introverted, but quite sincere. It became obvious that he pursued information on these patents because SEO is a passion of his; not for fame or recognition. And yet, he's the kind of SEO you'd put on your dream team.

Get well, Bill! We're all rooting for you.
