So let’s start from the beginning

In the beginning, there was Keyword Density
Early 90s – Pre Google

And then there was PageRank by Google
1996
![Page 17: Surprising facts about google and 2017 seo](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062900/58ec43b01a28ab51558b4631/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

This is when manipulation, as we know it today, started.
