Problems with Websites (6)
Search Engines and external links
- Dead links often exist for long periods
- First 100 or so Alta Vista “relevant” links were to our 1996 and 1997 prospectuses
- Our 1998 Prospectus isn’t even called that
- it’s an “Essential Guide”, but people don’t search for that
Some search tools now contain historic “snapshots” of the web
- Out-of-date (and therefore invalid) information may be preserved for long-term access
