In 2011, when Google was releasing it's major Google Panda update, I came to know about Bill Slawski. He was not writing simple SEO or keyword rich content but something different, something unique and informative about Google algorithms and research papers. He described all tough publications about search algo and many ranking factors in very simple words on his blog "SEO By The Sea".

From 2011 to 2017, I tagged him many times on Twitter for answers, there was always a reply, doesn't matter it's related to SEO or other technical fact.

And the funny thing, on Jan 19, 2019, I requested him for a remote job in a DM on Twitter, again I received his sweet reply, "I'm sorry. I am no responsible for hiring decisions. The company I work for now is hiring people who can come into an office three days a week, and working remotely only 2 days a week . They are located in Virginia a. D North Carolina. I don't believe that they are hiring process from outside of the United States."

I won't say "sea" but he is the universe of SEO knowledge, keep on spreading day-by-day.

I pray to god for his long and healthy life and thanks for his contribution to the industry.
