Well, I hope he sleeps well and doesn’t look back when he wakes.
I submitted instantly when it became available. There was no warning. Ineedhits still wants me to submit more. I am not complaining at this point.
I’m a little confused.
I logged into ineedhits.com into our account, and for one of the sites of ours, I see this for the status:
Status Included in Overture
Program Inktomi Search Submit (SS1)
Expires 10-Dec-2004Does this mean I still need to submit to Sitematch or ? This whole thing is confusing to me ..
As far as I understand it even if you submitted your website last week it will be included in all versions of Inktomi except for the one yahoo is using. If you paid for this your website will be removed from yahoo.
To get listed in yahoo and all versions of inktomi you either have to not have paid, or upgrade to the overture site match.
Typical yahoo behavior.

If your site has been crawled for free it will be in the Yahoo index after the 15th when they drop Ink. It just won’t be refreshed every 48 hours.
Unless you have an auction site, or some other page that changes content daily, there is no reason to join Site Match, and plenty of reasons not to… that is if Yahoo delivers on its promise to fully crawl the web, which to say the least it has not yet, but in any case people should wait and see how fully your sites are included come the 16th.
Position Tech just called me to explain whats going on with the Direct Submit program.
According to them, Overture will be issuing refunds for all online gambling sites that were previously accepted under the Direct Submit program. Overture is aware of the situation and is proceeding with this once the month has ended and any clicks used are charged against the deposits they already have.
The Inktomi listings previously purchased will be honored until their expiration date and will then be dropped with no renewals being accepted.
Well, Inktomi is soliciting me to list more sites.
They also want me to renew some.
I guess these engines do not speak among each other and don’t speak to their reps and certainly don’t inform their customers.
I have a mind to renew and see what happens.
Hi – do any of you know if overture will accept gambling sites targeted at non-US traffic from now on?
I also used marketleap to submit to inktomi – they sent numerous solicitations to have me subscribe and renew … I agree its very misleading and I think they all timed the solicitations around the new terms …
Am I paranoid or did they actually try to catch a few fish of their own? heh!
Put Shortly,
They are a bunch pyros in charge of the fire department …
I have not renewed any but I did add some right after the site match was introduced … I gave up with there BS of not being able to answer webmasters questions on another board. One of my clients submitted about 30 urls that are lost in the system so best bet is to not submit any more to INK/Overture/Yahoo if they are domains of gambling or pharmaceutical nature.
