About Black Book Online

  • OCTOBER 2007: Black Book Online adopts a "Google-style" look and feel. The site is now 100% database-driven and features the single largest free collection of public record searches on the Internet. The site also integrates a city-county converter, SSN validator and Phone Validator into its search box. Also added is a unique custom search feature. Black Book Online now serves over one million free public record lookups a month.

 

 

  • JUNE 2006: Black Book Online migrates from it's old web address (www.CrimeTime.com/online.htm) to its own dedicated domain at www.BlackBookOnline.info. The site also has a design makeover that features a dark, serious look with black and orange color-scheme. The site content doubles in size in little over four years due to the continuing trend of public records going online.

 

 

  • JANUARY 2002: "The Investigator's Little Black Book 3" is published. The book is again widely recognized as the number one best-seller for professional investigators and climbs the charts at amazon.com and major booksellers. Black Book Online continues to grow exponentially and now features over a thousand free links as more and more government agencies adopt a strategy of "go online" instead of "come and wait in line." All but six states now have their corporations lookup online.

 

 

  • JANUARY 1998: "The Investigator's Little Black Book 2" is published and is widely recognized as the number one best-selling book for professional investigators. Black Book Online is a single page of public record searches featuring less than 100 links and a total of five sex offender registries!

  • FEBRUARY 1997: CrimeTime.com is established as a dedicated domain and features as a sub-page a small group of links to public records using the name "Black Book Online."

 

Sorry, no surviving image!
  • JANUARY 1996: "The Investigators Little Black Book" by Robert Scott, P.I. is first published and becomes an immediate hit in the private investigation community. The book is a thin but reliable directory of information sources most used by private investigators and others to conduct investigations. Concurrently, a small list of free public record searches is posted at a shared-domain website promoting the book. This short list will eventually become Black Book Online, featuring thousands of free searches and serving over one-million requests per month.
