Well that would be encouraging news and I reckon a plausible explanation …
Let me get you up to date … I submitted using Marketleap to inktomi back in Nov 2003 – Firstly, I thought that was good for 1 years placement – secondly it wasn’t until this afternoon I discovered the sites I had submitted to ink were no longer in yahoo (I don’t monitor that type of thing) They could have easily been removed months ago, when yahoo first took over inktomi.
I believe that to be the case since my marketleap login is no longer valid. I emailed ML today asking them why they terminated our contract – I should ask for a FULL refund!
The sites that were nixed all have plenty of high quality links – a few of the sites rank very well on google and have now for some time. I assure you that they are not link farms and they unique content updated daily M-F …
Thus, I would assume that Yahoo would have picked me up via one of listed sites linking to me. So the theory about not being crawled after having my PFIs dropped doesnt seem likely to me.
Its late and I’m rambling on and, on and, on – incoherently at that – so Ill let you spin a web or two.

I just found some more data …
“I was informed at the beginning of this year that all of those pages would be honored until the time expired in all the search engines that used the Inktomi database except for Yahoo. If I wanted to get these pages into Yahoo that I would have to sign up for the site match program to get those pages back into Yahoo. “
Ok I think I recall that being in all those spams about the new system from ML, but that doesnt explain my absence from the other engines – I guess since ML deleted my account that I could have been removed from all those engines as well ….
ok now why havent I been picked up via the free crwal? maybe I need to get some homepage links from sites listing well- but DAMN I dont wanna do homepage links – :rollover: WAIT that wont work if there is in fact some sort of ban – that explains not being picked up yet despite numerous quality links!!! GRRRRRR
MAN I need some shuteye …
