Danny Sullivan is the man behind two of the most popular SEO related websites \u2013\u00a0Search Engine Land<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Search Engine Watch<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Search Engine Land is an industry related publication that reports and covers major events and findings in the field of search engines,\u00a0search engine optimization<\/a>, and search engine marketing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Search Engine Watch is a sister website published by Third Door Media where Danny was a partner and Chief Content Officer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It covers the broader topics related to digital marketing such as\u00a0social media<\/a>, email marketing, display advertising, mobile and marketing technology, and analytics.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Third Door Media also publishes Marketing Land and Danny retired from the position of Chief Content Officer in June 2017.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Danny Sullivan joined Google in October 2017 in the capacity of an adviser within the search division.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

His primary role is that of a search liaison where he will help the public better understand Google search engine while helping Google better interpret public feedback.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 2015, Danny was adjudged to be one of the top 50 marketing influencers by the magazine Entrepreneur.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Born in 1965, Danny Sullivan was raised in California and graduated from University of California at Irvine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He started off his journalistic career with the Los Angeles Times and later with the Orange County Register.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He later went on to found Maximized Online where programmer Ken Spreitzer was the co-founder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He is married to Lorna Harris and moved to a small village in England \u2013 Chitterne.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The couple have two sons and since moved back to Newport Beach, California.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While writing an article for Search Engine Watch, he inadvertently coined the term \u2018search engine marketing\u2019. His modesty, however, prevents him from accepting the credit for coining the term.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In April 1996, Danny posted his research about search engines and titled A Webmaster\u2019s Guide to Search Engines.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This led to his founding of Search Engine Watch in June 1997.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This was essentially all about getting good results in a search engine and considered to be one of the earliest works on search engine optimization.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

However, in November that year, he sold it to MecklerMedia (currently Jupitermedia) for an undisclosed amount.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He continued there as the editor-in-chief and over saw the maintenance of the site. The site was then sold to Incisive Media for $43 million.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Matt Cutts of Google described Search Engine Watch as a \u201cmust read\u201d while Tim Mayer of Yahoo! termed it \u201cthe most authoritative on search\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While at Search Engine Watch, he conducted and staged the popular Search Engine Strategies conference as many as six times each year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This was a massive hit and routinely attracted anywhere between 1500 to 6000 participants.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Danny announced that he will leave Search Engine Watch on November 30th<\/sup>, 1996, although he agreed with Jupitermedia to continue staging the Search Engine Strategies conference throughout 2007.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
