Yeah I think this thread might be screwed for the stuff that happend before 96/97. I think ARchive.org was doing a very slow crawl back then. Back before people thought (or saw the value of) using 100+ computers to index the web.

YES! Robin Nixon was definitely one of the big innovators in the industry. I remember he would test banner and site conversions and be able to tell you within a few minutes how well it would do (because he had insane amounts of traffic back then).
