Voices of Search // A Search Engine Optimization (SEO) & Content Marketing Podcast · How Fitness & Endurance Sports Can Enhance SEO Efforts · 30 Jan 2025 podcast

We used to optimize our directory structures of how we had our files set up on the servers to make them as friendly for search as possible.

Um it wasn't the web back then.

It was just logging in one person at a time to a BBS.

But still, um when you have thousands of files like I used to on my BBS programs that

that people could download public domain programs.

You need to break them down into uh, you know, back then it was kind of rudimentary structures of directories.

And that kind of was uh like the beginnings of how I started to think of search.

And also in FTP, when we used to FTP into uh s websites all around the world, or internet sites, not websites, this is pre-web.

Um, those two had way more files than a single BBS like mine.

And

Uh those had to be organized in in in ways that were helpful for search.

And we'll get into that a little bit in our second topic today.

Uh when we're gonna look back at some of the some of the things we can learn from roots.

But um to continue on here, um I just wanna mention I from my BBS, I went into the computer world working for a company called Computer Discount.

I sold

Commodore Amiga computers.

And then I, in 1988, worked for a company called Progressive Peripherals and Software, which was one of the biggest Amiga hardware and software companies at the time.

And I have a lot of good memories from those days.

There was an assembly line of computer parts being built in the back, and I could smell soldering.

irons going and my friend Jay Tompkins, who was the head engineer there, taught me how to solder and taught me all kinds of electrical engineering things that were quite foreign to me.
