This post is really as much about the SEO community as it is about Bill.... After he suffered the stroke that affected his speech a little, it was so heartening to see the SEO community pull together, slow down and listen intently—as if to a beloved family member who still had so much wisdom to share. As a little nobody SEO freelancer just starting out years ago, that told me all I needed to know about the SEO community. Bill made us a kinder, gentler place to hang out, and that is a greater legacy than the specific industry knowledge he shared.
