History of the Internet

The earliest idea of a computer network intended to allow general communication between users of various computers was the ARPANET, the world's first packet switching network, which first went online in 1969.
The Internet's roots lie within the ARPANET, which not only was the intellectual forerunner of the Internet, but was also initially the core network in the collection of networks in the Internet, as well as a important tool in developing the Internet (being used for communication between the groups working on internetworking research).

Early Internet Work

Kahn recruited Vinton Cerf to work with him on the problem, and they soon worked out a fundamental reformulation, where instead of the network being responsible for reliability, as in the ARPANET, the hosts became responsible. Cerf credits Herbert Zimmerman and Louis Pouzin (designer of the CYCLADES network) with important influences on this design.

With the role of the network reduced to the bare minimum, it became possible to join almost any networks together, no matter what their characteristics, thereby solving Kahn's initial problem. (One popular saying has it that TCP/IP, the eventual product of Cerf and Kahn's work, will run over "two tin cans and a string".) A computer called a gateway (a name later changed to router to avoid confusion with a number of other kinds of devices, also called gateways) is provided with an interface to each network, and fowards packets back and forth between them.

Happily, this new concept was a perfect fit with the newly emerging local area networks, which were revolutionizing communication between computers within a site.

Growth

The early Internet, based around the ARPANET, was government-funded and therefore restricted to research use only. Commercial use was strictly forbidden. This initially restricted connections to military sites and universities. During the 1980s, as the TCP/IP protocols (developed by Vint Cerf and others) replaced earlier protocols like NCP, the connections expanded to more colleges and even to a growing number of companies such as Digital Equipment Corporation and Hewlett-Packard who were participating in research projects.

Regional TCP/IP-based networks such as NYSERNet (New York State Education and Research Network) and BARRNet (Bay Area Regional Research Network) grew up and started interconnecting with the ARPANET. This greatly expanded the reach of the growing network, and to a great extent was the point where the ARPANET turned into the Internet.

At the end of the 1980s, the US Department of Defense decided the network was developed enough for its initial purposes, and decided to stop further funding. The US National Science Foundation, another branch of the US government, took over responsibility for the core Internet backbone. In 1989 the NSFNet backbone was established, the US military broke off as a separate MILNET network, and the ARPANET was shut down.

A Brief History of Search Engine Marketing on the Web   BY Gradiva Couzin

The Spam Days
Once upon a time (1998-1999), search engine optimization (SEO) was primarily achieved by formulaic algorithms, and automatic submitting software was the most popular form of search engine promotion. The search engines' indexing programs, called "robots" or "spiders," would look over all of the text on a page and use a secret formula to rank pages. This era could also be called the Golden Age of Spam, because it was fairly easy to get a high rank, just by repeating a keyword 6,000 times with tiny or "invisible" text. (Yahoo is an exception... Yahoo has always been indexed by humans who could, for the most part, identify and ban spammers' Web sites).

Gradually, search engines started recognizing spam and penalizing accordingly. Unscrupulous search engine optimizers were continually trying to find new and ingenious ways to "fool" the indexing algorithms, and were always one step behind the search engines. Clearly, search engines needed to find a way to index pages that took control away from the spammers and auto-submitters. Many began to try different ways of indexing.

Incorporating Off-page Information
By mid-1999, search sites had begun using the intelligence of the masses - the Web searching audience - to improve the quality of search results. One way to do this is to monitor clicks. DirectHit (since acquired by AskJeeves/Teoma) introduced a technology that watches which sites are chosen by searchers. A site that is regularly chosen for a given keyword will rise in ranking for that keyword. This technology is now in general use.

Another way to utilize the intelligence of the masses is to rank pages based on how many other pages are linked to it. This is called "link popularity" and remains a huge factor in ranking.

Both of the above parameters are known as "off-the-page" factors because they are factors that are not directly based on the content on your Web page. The appeal of "off-the-page" factors is that spam efforts do not influence them.

Community-Edited Directories
Yahoo was the first and is still one of the most popular search engines. However, being primarily a human-edited directory, Yahoo has difficulty keeping up with the huge number of sites that deserve indexing. Human-edited directories provide quality results and are not susceptible to spam, but lack quantity because of the limited number of editors.

Simultaneously with the rise of "off-page" ranking (mid-1999) came community-edited directories. The "community-edited" paradigm allows for thousands of editors, organized in a system of self-governance, to constantly improve and add to a directory. The Netscape Open Directory was the first of these, and the (now defunct) Go.com directory was another early leader. Zeal.com, which feeds results into Looksmart.com and MSN search, is a newer addition to this category.

The Netscape Open Directory had the additional bright idea of being open source. All of the content in their directory is available to any developer who wants to create a portal or improve the quality of his or her search engine. The result is that in the year 2000, listings from Open Directory started showing up on almost every major search engine.

The marriage of size and quality has made community-edited directories an important element in the search world. Human-edited directories in general tend to play the role of "searcher advocate", since they produce very relevant results for any given search. With the rise in importance of directory listings in 2000, search engine marketers began to concentrate on optimizing their sites for focused, targeted, quality content.

Paid Listings
In 1999, Altavista tried to introduce paid listings, was universally denounced, and dropped the idea almost immediately. In contrast, by the end of 2000 all major search engines offered some kind of paid listing option. Overture.com (previously Goto.com) began this trend and is still the major player, offering ranking for keywords based on an auction system: the higher the bid, the higher your rank. The bid amount is charged every time a user clicks on your site listing, a payment model known as Pay-per-click (PPC).

Additionally, in 2001 most directories and search engines introduced various payment models for listing submittals: submittal fees for major human-edited directories, indexing fees for the major spiders, and several different types of ad placement opportunities. Yahoo introduced a one-time submittal fee, which was later changed to a yearly submittal fee. Looksmart switched from a one-time submittal fee to a PPC model. Major spiders Inktomi, Altavista, and FAST search introduced paid inclusion models - a yearly fee that ensures a site will be listed and regularly re-spidered.

Google's rise to prominence
2000 - 2001 heralded the rise of Google to prominence among search engines. While other search engines were focusing on becoming "portals," Google kept an extremely simple and quick interface that focused solely on search results. Google also developed advanced features such as PDF search and Flash search. Additionally, Google's use of "off-the-page" factors made it quite spam-resistant. Google's dominance was truly clinched when Yahoo switched its secondary search result partnership from Inktomi to Google in July of 2000, and now uses Google for its primary search results. Many additional partnerships, including AOL and AskJeeves, followed.

With Google's success, several other search engines are attempting to follow its lead: Altavista, Teoma, and FAST search are competitors that present simple, quick search results. It remains to be seen whether these will succeed in chipping away any of Google's monopoly.

Hybridization and Partnerships
By 2001, all major search engines provided search results using a hybrid of the various systems mentioned above. For example, Yahoo search results mixed Yahoo-directory results, Overture (PPC) results, and Google results. MSN provided results from Overture (PPC), Looksmart , and Inktomi.

2002 marked several major purchases among search engines: Yahoo purchased Inktomi, Overture purchased FAST, Google purchased Blogger.com, and there were also many shifts in search engine partnership contracts. For a complete chart of search engine partnerships, see Search Engine Watch .

Search Engine Marketing Today
Today's search engine marketing requires a great deal more than just the $99 auto-submittal program of the past. Search engine marketing requires a multifaceted approach. To reach a site's top potential, it must incorporate target audience analysis, competitive analysis, cost per click optimization, and even copy writing. And, because things don't stop changing, search engine marketers need to devote a good deal of time staying on top of the industry and its trends.

Some of today's best approaches:

  • Content is the most important factor: relevant, useful content and clear, simple navigation will improve search engine ranking.
  • "Off-the-page" factors are extremely important. Because of this, a search engine marketing specialist must spend much of her time surfing all over the Web, and sending targeted communications to try to improve link popularity.
  • Directory listings are very important. These require manual, often paid, submissions and knowledge of each search engine's relevancy guidelines.
  • On-the-page factors (such as HTML text and meta tags) are still relevant because the old-fashioned algorithmic indexing still exists, even at Google.
  • PPC listings can be cost effective and allow control and accountability, but require constant bid monitoring and market analysis.

The Future of Search Engine Marketing
Search engines have evolved into sophisticated systems, and will continue to enhance their technical side, with improved capabilities to index "deep" pages and pages that are dynamically generated, indexing of non-HTML content such as PDF's and graphics, improved ability to rapidly integrate new content such as news using XML feeds or other technology, organization of search results into logical categories, and other advanced features.

At the same time, corporate mergers and the old-fashioned "highest-bidder" approach are making search engine marketing feel more and more like traditional print advertising. We at Fine Brand feel that the future of search engine marketing will be a two-pronged approach: part paid advertising and part public relations. The site optimization techniques of 1998-1999 will be only a very small portion of site marketing. That is why we prefer to call our services "Web site visibility" or "Search Engine Marketing" rather than "Search Engine Optimization." When all is said and done, it is the visibility of your Web site to your target audience that matters, not your site rank on a search engine.
