Jim Wilson of SearchEngineForums

On a more somber note...

Some of you old timers around here who did any digging into SE's have likely spect some time at SearchEngineForums.com.

SearchEngineForums.com, JimWorld, and the GetHighForums, etc., etc. was created by Jim Wilson and garnered lots of support across the web, both Mainstream and High Competition areas.

Jim wrote a regular newsletter that I'm sure many of you subscribed to.

Payment for help from him or his community, was to go out and help someone else!

As with any community, sometimes people did not see eye to eye with Jim. For quite awhile, I moderated the Excite Forums and a couple others and ended up leaving to go on and put up SEMatrix for the adult SEO community to gather, and freely discuss things that could not be discussed at Jim's because of his desire to keep his community open for all ages.

I may not have agreed with Jim as to how he ran his forums, but I respected him 100% for running HIS sites the way HE wanted. Those forums gave so much back to guys like me, and I always tried to give as much if not more than what was given to me.

If you remember Jim, or spent any time over there at SEF...and you are interested in the online memorial that has been put up in his honor...please visit:
