On a web page that I posted in Nov 2000 (on a confusing presidential election ballot that caused controversy in Palm Beach), I included a link to Lycos, a has-been search engine wanna-be, which at the time must have had a convenient way to track backlinks.

I haven’t even thought of Lycos for years. The link was broken anyway.

While looking up the company just now, I learned it was founded in Pittsburgh by a CMU researcher, and has gone through a series of owners since.
