From the early 1990’s, website owners woke up to the idea that having highly visible sites in the search engines brought valuable business results.  In tandem, the idea of gaining higher rank, which brought higher visibility, would drive increased traffic.  These connections, tied with search engine technology, dawned the industry of SEO and some of those early birds are still helping people today.  Meet them and find out how it all began…

I found that quoted text while browsing last night.
Got it from http://www.thehistoryofseo.com/
There they stated some of those people that maybe the first ones that started SEO.

Date: Nov 27, 2002 – A new method was adopted by yahoo search engine to dispaly search results through yahoo.com. At that time you have to pay for yahoo to get in the first and top of the yahoo search engine pages.

Search engine optimization, also known as SEO, first started being used by webmasters and internet content providers in the mid-90s. Just in case you are unsure, SEO is the process of designing and creating content that will result in increased amounts of quality traffic to a website from organic or un-paid search results. Like many things internet related SEO has evolved over the years.
