PageRank, everything before PageRank was more like yellow pages than a search engine as we know it today. Google also had a patent on it, so it's not like other people could simply copy it. Google was also way more minimal (and therefore faster on slow connections) and it raised enough money to operate without ads for years (while its competitors were filled with them). Not really comparable to today, when you have 3-4 products which are pretty much identical, all operating under a huge loss. |
