That’s not how I remember it. Back in the late 1990’s I started out with a single site, and scratched out my first revenue from where my site ranked in the Yahoo directory.

Directories and search engines are two different animals. Yahoo was the leading directory back when directories still mattered, but it was never a leader in spidered search.
