    It is, but like every corpse, it keeps on twitching for a bit after it died

                  Altavista was the bomb in 97-99!

                  It would take max two days to get indexed.
                  SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                    True, true. At one time they were considered the "google" of the SE world. My, did they ever drop the ball.

                              altavista is still good but when it comes to traffic nowadays...google and yahoo are the good ones.

                                        altavista and infoseek were the best and they were pretty
                                        good if you wanted to find something you were looking for.

                                        Good for traffic and good for surfing.

                                        Google sucks now if you're looking for something really quick ?

                                                word. Altavista was the fucking bomb for me. Anyone remember dmoz? How about hotbot? Used to get a lot of traffic from them. Remember when AOL was as easy as just getting a dmoz listing and waiting for the checks?

                                                You can get it ploughing a paddock, you can get it makin some porn sites, matter of fact I've got it now.

                                                For a hard earned thrist, you need a big cold beer.

                                                  I remember using AltaVista in like '96
                                                  I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                                                  I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                                            Yes, altavista use to be the TECH SE of the dawn of the net... then it sold for a ridiculous amount of cash, and burnt into the ground quickly..

                                                            I hope google review and learn from this as I am seeing the same changes beginning in google as altavista did before they killed it, the tech searches are becoming way too loose, picking up way too much crap and not doing as well, hopefully they can fix this without bleeding the dam thing too much to impress investors.

                                                            money changes everything, there's new search engines on the way now which will take over for google when it goes... start hitting them now!

                                                              Google is overrated, soon to be spammed to death. I got higher quality traffic coming from Yahoo and MSN.

                                                                I used to be a diehard altavista user... then they started to suck bad and even brought out popup ads... I sent them an email saying popups are annoying and their search engine sucks and i am moving to google..

                                                                A YEAR later they actually wrote back to tell me they stopped using popups and wanted me to come back
