Yesterday's issue (6-29-98) of San Jose Mercury News featured "The Promise of Portals" by David L. Wilson with the subheading "Entry point for Net users seen as huge money maker, but some aren't so sure." However, if you searched for the article in their 7-Day Archive, you won't find it using the heading or subheading or author as keywords. But if you typed in the first words of the article "Last year, people were going to make"— the article "Portals: Entry to Net or doors to nowhere?" appeared in a list of 58 results from 1740 documents searched. Apparently the continuation heading was used to index this article. An informative glossary from the newspaper was not included in their online edition, so I've typed them below for your reference:
Portal: A Web site designed as a starting point for Web surfers. The business strategy depends on attracting a large number of users to the site, which translates into higher advertising revenues and higher fees charged to other sites that want a prime link on the portal site.
Eyeballs: Number of people who visit a site or see an ad. The more eyeballs, the more advertisers pay the host Web site.
Page Views: The number of Web pages unique visitors have called up from a Web site. Page views are a measure of usage or popularity, much like a paid circulation for a magazine.
Search Engine: The foundation of many portals, search engines are Web sites that help Internet users find individual Web pages by keyword or topic.
