| Lycos is one of the oldest search engines on the web, launched in 1994. It ceased crawling the web for its own listings in April 1999 and instead uses crawler-based results provided by AllTheWeb. "Fast Forward" lets you see search results in one side of your screen and the actual pages listed in another. Relevant categories of human-compiled information from the Open Directory appear at the bottom of the search results page. At the top of the page, Lycos will suggest other searches related to your original topic right under the search box. Perhaps you might even like the look and feel better! Whatever the reason, under the hood, Lycos provides all the same relevancy and comprehensiveness you'll find at AllTheWeb.com. Listings from Fast & from the Lycos Network. Directory listings from The Open Directory Project. Sponsored Sites from Overture. More Search Engine Info HotBot is owned by Lycos. Launched 5/96. Paid Listing via Lycos InSite Program. This service will include your site in both the Fast and Inktomi databases.HotBot provides easy access to the web's four major crawler-based search engines: AllTheWeb.com/FAST, Google, Inktomi and Teoma, all of which are described elsewhere on this page.

The "4-in-1" option at HotBot was introduced in December 2002. However, HotBot has a long history as a search brand before this date. HotBot debuted in May 1996, it gained a strong following among serious searchers for the quality and comprehensiveness of its crawler-based results, which were provided by Inktomi, at the time. It also caught the attention of experienced web users and techies, especially for the unusual colors and interface it continues to sport today. Results from Fast, Google, Inktomi & Teoma.

| Web Site Development - Web Design and Resources Content Web Site Development is the graphic design and/or programming services required to produce the web pages for a web site. Costs: The total cost depends on the time required to develop, update, and test the content of the web site. It is usually based on an hourly rate, which can range from $30 to $80 per hour. Issues: The main issue concerns who owns the content of the pages which are developed for your web site. If you own the content of your existing web site, then you can use that content in any way you wish. If you want to create a new site or switch content developers, then another developer can use your existing web pages as a starting point, saving on the time and cost of creating a new site as compared to having to start from scratch. If the content developer owns the content, then you probably will not be able to have any changes made to your web site except by the same developer. Web Site Development by jumbo-loans.net |
