Tonight I’m Gonna Search Like It’s 1999 or 2001
Google recently celebrated its 10th birthday. Happy birthday, Google.
You’ve come a long way, baby. As a fun little celebration, they have made an index from 2001 available. (The earliest versions are not readily accessible.)
Take it for a spin and ponder for a moment how much internet marketing has changed. I was involved with search engine optimization in the late 90’s, but I didn’t call it that. I was just trying to get visitors to my employer’s website. I had never heard the term SEO. And apparently nobody else had either.
For search marketing veterans, take a look at how you were doing in 2001. Are you embarrassed? I once heard an architect say “Doctors bury their mistakes, we have to grow ivy.” Thanks to this little throwback, search engine marketers can’t hide, at least for a month. Google plans on shutting this down in a month.
Here is a search 2001 FAQ. Update: the party is over.
