1998 September: Infoseek lost top against ink.yahoo.com (Inktomi/Yahoo)

From August 1997 to August 1998, Infossek was the strongest referer to our sites. But this month, Infoseek lost against the Inktomi database which Yahoo uses for web wide search.

Total referers found in referer log files from all our own domains, and design and seminar customers hosted on our server. This only counts visitors coming from a link or a search engine.
