As search engines grew smarter, new tools and methods came along. These changes pushed SEO professionals to move away from shortcuts and focus on genuinely helpful content.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>The Beginning (1990-1997)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Archie is where the story of search systems begins in 1990, as it was the first search engine that indexed documents on the proto-internet.
