Tabke has run community networking sites continuously since 1984. The evolution from stand-alone BBS's to forums on the web and his commitment to community building is a logical extension for Brett. His fascination with the web spurred him to start building web sites and learning as much as possible about online traffic. He quickly became an expert on the subject of Internet traffic, and was a source of information for many of his business contacts and associates who were looking to get better traffic from the search engines.

Tabke coined several SEO staples as "Link Farm", "SEO Themes", and the classic "SERP" (Search Engine Results Page). He was also featured in the Biography Channel special on the Google founders. Tabke was also a founding board member of SEMPO. He also wrote a chapter for the best selling "Google Hacks" book. He is also the first known person to have fully decoded the Excite and most of the Altavista search engine algos. Tabke's "26 Steps to 15k a Day" is one of the most widely read documents in SEO history.

Tabke was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2016 United States Search Awards.
