Eric Ward, also known as “Link Moses,” passed away on Monday, October 16, 2017. He was 58 years young.
Eric was the first person in the industry that I met who identified himself as a “link builder,” and he gave the first comprehensive presentation I ever saw on the topic — at a Search Engine Strategies conference all the way back in 2000. His work shaping the field and the contributions he made to the discipline of link building — not just at our publication and conferences, but throughout the search marketing industry — cannot be overstated. I’m stricken at the loss of such a thoughtful, knowledgeable and generous friend and colleague.
I reached out to other search industry veterans to share their thoughts and memories of Eric:
