    Excite search engine and Web portal

    Excite is one of the well known web portals founded in 1994 as Architext by Graham Spencer, Joe Kraus, Mark Van Haren, Ryan McIntyre, Ben Lutch and Martin Reinfried, who were all students at Stanford University. Later, Excite merged with @Home and became one of the largest mergers of two Internet companies ever before. In March 2004 it was acquired by Ask Jeeves.

    According to some expert’s comments, the main focus of Excites is to offer the good portal site with a lot of news, shopping mall, useful tools and so on, but in terms of search engines, nothing is special at Excite.

    Some have the opinion that Excite Search is very friendly with those who have the enough budgets to advertise their own web sites. In other words, even if you make nice revealing web site you should pay some cost to be indexed at Excite Search. This is useful only if the web site owner is a company. However, this feature is not perfect for the non-profit sites and the personal sites.
