I remember emailing Persian Kitty asking if she could put a link to my site and the next day Angelfire deleted my site because I got like 30K visitors from the small text link she added to her friends list.
I remember annoying audio banners "Gold Key Casino, Click on Our Banner to Win".
I remember switching from free hosting account to free hosting account only to be kicked again and again, but it only took a few days every time to get all the traffic back.
I also remember I figured out how to be #1 on infoseek for keywords, but lots of others knew as well, so you constantly had to re-submit a new page and if you were lucky you were the #1 right before the weekend (when they stopped updating the rankings). I think it made about $250 a day for the #1 ranking for sex
I remember combining 2 ISDN lines to get a whopping 128kbit/s (paying twice the phone minutes to stay online).
I remember the biggest search engine was altavista, but they didn't have altavista.com but something like altavista.subdomain.com and if you went to altavista.com it said that they were not the search engine and they had a small text link to the altavista search engine.
I remember some guy emailing me that he could host my site for free on a real domain, all I had to do was add a popup to his site. He probably made a fortune of it, while I had no clue I could make money of it.
I remember some other guy emailing me I should add banners to my site and I could make money with my site. Best advice I ever had lol
I remember getting my first check (xpics?) and I went to the bank to cash it, only to find out I had to wait a month for my money (in EU).
