"starting"? The net was ruined when yahoo directory failed and Google with their stupid algorithm and SEO and AdSense and monetisation came along
Google had to happen, manually updating a registry of all site was unsustainable with the growth of the internet.
And the concept of SEO is actually older than the internet, "AAA Plumbing" from yellow pages was also optimized for the algorithm of the the telephone registry, which was simply alphabetical order. Just different algorithm and different scale.
Ppphhht.
The internet ended the day AOL threw open its doors and allowed their users out of the walled garden.
I know, I was there.
Me too!
(if you know, you know)
