Infoseek 1994 Posters and Art Prints

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, Infoseek launched in January 1994 as a paid search service, claiming to provide, better, more intelligent search results. Realizing a subscription based search engine wasn't a viable business model, the service was dropped in August 1994. Infoseek was relaunched in February 1995 as a more traditional search engine, with a deal to become the default search in Netscape Navigator. Infoseek was among the first search engines to sell advertising on a CPM basis, as well as the precursor to pop-ups called, daughter windows, and is the originator of behavioral targeting. By September 1997, Infoseek was averaging 7.3 million visitors per month, making it the 7th most visited website that year.
