just saw that bruce clay passed away. he was basically the OG when it came to teaching us about keyword relevance and supporting the whole community long before semrush or any of these modern tools existed.

it feels like the end of an era does anyone else remember his early work on site structure?

i still use his old frameworks for internal linking architecture when im auditing a site. its wild how much of what we do in google search console today is just refined versions of his original logic.
