AV's new (old) look

New Alta [av6test.svc.altavista.com]

Alta is going for a new look that is to be unleashed on Jan. 31. Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't this look familiar?

Hmmm...

"In our Web Services section, we will continue to provide Webmasters and business customers the tools they need to provide world class search services and to drive traffic to their sites."

Sounds like pfp don't it?

>Sounds like pfp

It's coming. This from a contact, dated Dec 29 (I don't think she survived the last round of job cuts)

"In the near future AV will also be offering services to webmasters in order to enhance listings for their clients."

If you follow the following link you can see the new site. It seems they are trying to push paid submissions by featuring looksmart results in a yahoo type directory.

I'd say it looks like the last version of Looksmart, in fact, they incorporating the corporate colours...buy out in hand???

Whoa! Has anyone seen those 1/4-page size banner ads???

They are hurting for money!
