The SEO Consultants Directory is a useful resource for search marketers
and potential clients of SEM firms.
As a peer review network, SEO
Consultants helps clients find reputable SEM firms. It also
has a few surprises for its users, one of which I stumbled upon
today while researching another story.
History buffs will be interested to see a simple but fairly detailed
chart of the history
of search engines dating back to the development of ARCHIE in
1990. The chart has only eight entries between 1990 and mid 1993,
but things start to pick up in March of '93 when Bill Clinton sent
the first email message.
According to the chart, Yahoo! was released days after the release
of WebCrawler in April 1994. Two months later, Lycos began sorting
the web. Within two years, another dozen search tools joined the
original 3.
The chart provides a nostalgic look at the history of search engines.
Anyone with an interest in how we found ourselves where we are today
can find hours of self-directed infotainment.
