I guess all of you were there at the time when the internet had no search engines, I was also there at that time, but too small to use the web. I still remember my mother having a list of excel sheets which were filled with web pages filed under particular categories, she would get those sheets from her friends and give it to some other of her friends.
One sheet would have up to 200 web pages and within a year a good quality directory would make it to 1000’s of netizens and the 200 web pages there would get some good targeted traffic for free. Well, that was back then when no one ever thought of a search engine, today search engines have revolutionized the web and we cant imagine a day with Google or Yahoo.
