Here is what I do that is having some success: I keep a small "trickle" of submissions going to hotbot, anzwers, and canada.com. I spread them out and make sure never to resubmit a page that is already listed.
That means some leg work tracking down what is and isn't sticking. I do 2 or 3 urls per day from a domain that isn't listed. I also am cross linking the hell out of things pointing at pages that aren't listed (this also takes lots of work). I'm really getting into the cross linking thing with content pointing all over the place. (I gotta do that with this domain some time too). By cross linking, you are not just giving the spider something to follow, you are giving it something to 'think about'.

Here is the deal (from Carl): Ink is just like Google in that it wants to see a link to a page before it will index it. In the case of Ink, the shelf life is reduced to 45 days and Google will never index it at all. This is why we are having trouble getting BL pages to stick in Ink - and why I've got dozens upon dozens of cloaked pages pointing just at BL pages (that is what I've been up to for the last two weeks). I hope I can get the cloaked pages themselves to stick - once we do, hello to the illusive inktomi boost we've not really gotten yet.

So yes, resubmit the ones that fall out. Also resubmit those domains that aren't in Yahoo about every 3 months. Even if Yahoo doesn't list it, they get passed to Inktomi! Someone called it a Yahoo back door, and it kinda is in a sense.

btw:I couldn't believe this same post got locked in that other forum.
