I was wondering the same thing. I was also wondering whether any of his friends got out before the stock came crashing down. It doesn't seem to exist anymore. Maybe the stock got bought out by a larger company. Based on the look of the goto.com website, it can't be worth very much.

Only link I could find.

EDIT: Found another one, dated 8/21/00. Nice sure thing, there. Perhaps not buying was the OP's best investment?

dude - wrong chart - timeframe is off. This was around JAN/FEB/MAR 2001 at $3.00-$5.00 IIRC. find charts around then if you can.

BTW, this is about YOUR investments, not mine. I already admitted failure.

Evan - It has now been absorbed into Yahoo. It was, at the time GOTO, then switched to OVER. Haven't looked at a chart in a while, so don't know what info is currently available.


It was founded by Bill Gross/Idealab and was one of their only businesses that actually was a business. The pay per click advertising model has proven to be second, perhaps only to ebay as a pure-play consumer related web business/industry and has thrown the entire advertising world on its ear.

google had no idea how to monetize search until they decided to knock off this idea. paid search now accounts for the huge majority of their revenue.
