In honor of Google‘s 10th year anniversary, they’ve brought back their oldest available index dated 2001. Google only had over 1.3 billion webpages indexed that time and it’s a little nostalgic to do some ego-searching on that year.
A search for “yugatech” in 2001 reveals my old website hosted on HyperMart.net. It was an “AnandTech” wannabe.
Back then, .com domains were still $35PHP 2,054INR 2,966EUR 33CNY 255 a year but there were at least two services that gave out free domains in exchange for free banner ads (via an ad bar) like NameDemo.
My university-hosted page also shows up when searching for my name and it showed our project page on WireLess LAN. I was playing around with 2Mbps WiFi networks back in 1999.
Check out Google in 2001.
YugaTech.com is the largest and longest-running technology site in the Philippines. Originally established in October 2002, the site was transformed into a full-fledged technology platform in 2005.

Too bad it wasn’t January of 2002. My name should have appeared in the search results if it was 2002 instead.

Patrick says:
ooh… Hypermart. I faintly remember looking into that hosting site back in 03 when I was searching for webhosts for my fansite. I eventually ended up getting a plan from a local webhost. :D
@Alwell: oh, fancy seeing you here.. hehe! I didn’t know heavenslair did not have its own domain before. ;)
My first site was a school project so naturally it would be hosted in geocities. That was… early 2003. Too bad. Tried my full name too.. I’m not “searchable” yet back in 2001. :(

I tried looking for the website I made for my irc channel back in 1999. It wasn’t indexed. I wasn’t that aware yet of ways to be indexed. It was on a free domain back then. Hehehe. Thanks for the info!
