Reference.com was launched by InReference, Inc in February, 1997.[6] The site was later acquired by Lexico Publishing Group, LLC. In 2005, Lexico announced that Reference.com would begin offering searches of Wikipedia content.[7] In mid-2007, the site typically ranked in the mid-200s among the most popular websites on the Internet.[8] The popularity of dictionary.com had been greatly boosted by Google's practice of offering a link at the top of their search results that go to the dictionary.com definition. This exclusive relationship was terminated without explanation to the public when the Google links were redirected to definitions at Answers.com. (In December of 2009, the Answers.com links were replaced with Google's own dictionary, google.com/dictionary.) More recently, Google added a dictionary.com definition link for certain search words in a non-exclusive relationship (along with links to definitions from a few other commercial reference websites). On 3 July 2008, InterActiveCorp acquired Lexico Publishing Group, LLC and its three properties: Thesaurus.com, Reference.com, and Dictionary.com.[
