Does anyone still use Excite or Hotbot to search the web?

i miss when the internet looked like this

LOL. I remember my first Yahoo listing and how excited I was. What did that cost? $400?

$300 mainstream / $600 adult

Only if you weren't grandfathered in. We had our listings there in 1997 or 98, I forget, and were just grandfathered in after that.

That said, my favorite engine of them all was Infoseek, followed closely by Alta Vista. Infoseek were the first company I spoke with who explained to me what their crawler was specifically looking for in determining rankings. Alta Visa, owned by DEC, were by far the hardest to reach, but the techs were quite willing to speak candidly as well.

Good times :)

Not sure if I miss those days or not actually. :thumbsup

Miss Yahoo Chat!

:2 cents: :2 cents:

Not in a few years. I think yahoo bought AltaVista

Lycos, Netscape Navigator should be added to the list

Ask Jeeves...

Do these still exist any more?

i liked webcrawler

Lycos was another one if I remember correctly.

Lol Lycos, Excite, then we had all those first hosting companies like geocities, angelfire, homestead :))

I keep clicking on the links, but nothing loads. :(

Remember how everyone had a favorite search engine that they swore gave better results? There were people obsessed with webcrawler, hotbot, dogpile, etc.
