Fortunately, there is a cool web tool out there to track history of a website. And, the web tool is Internet Archive: Wayback Machine.
Have you ever gone interested to know how a website looked when it was started?
I know, many of you (especially bloggers) are curious to lookback design of many websites. Many of you are excited to know how a website for e.g., Google, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, eHow, Amazon evolved. What were starting layouts of their website, what changes they have done on their website’s look, to enhance its performance, etc.
I am also very excited to know lookback of some of my competitor’s websites and some very big blogs to know their strategies they’ve implemented on starting of their websites because of which they’re so much successful now.
Fortunately, there is a cool web tool out there to track history of a website. And, the web tool is Internet Archive: Wayback Machine.

It is digital archive of all the web that saves webpages of websites over time in its database so that they can be accessed in future to get important details. Wayback Machine has already saved over 391 billion webpages in its database.

So Freinds Above , As you can see, for MakeUseOf.com, Internet Archive: Wayback Machine has saved total of 1,457 editions from July 6, 2006 (the day, this site started) till February 23, 2014 (now). Just choose year from the above graph and wayback machine will serve you all the saved webpage’s editions for each and every month, depending on How frequently the page modified, how much popular the site is, how many people saved its webpages at Internet Archive and more.
Just choose any of these and you would be able to check how that website (in this example, MakeUseOf.com) looked in past. So, this is how MakeUseOf looked like in Feb 26, 2007:

So, if you want to get code, elements from any website’s previous layout, you this web tool will help you to get that.
Browsing history of successful websites in your blog’s niche will surely inspire, motivate and lead you in correct direction. Sometimes, when I get free time, I browse my competitor but very big blogs. It inspires me a lot. Even, tracking history of your own website is also quite adventerous and motivational.
