---- Site gone again from Inktomi

Ya - this problem is actually a lot more wide spread than one might think even from reading this thread. I belong to several forums around the web, and I've seen quite a few reports of this exact problem and everyone seems to report that it started somewhere between the middle of November and the beginning of December. Ink definately tweaked something that caused a ton of PFI pages to get dropped. If you are considering PFI, I would suggest that you wait until PT and INK figure out exactly what is going on and get it fixed.

I'm sure that INK gets innundated regularly with emails from people that are mad that their sites aren't doing well and so they ignore most of the emails that we send them when there is a legitimate bug with their PFI program (like we are reporting here in this thread). I think the real reports probably get lost among the roar of the others.

It's important to keep working on this. I suggest that you call PT and talk to a rep and point them to this thread... so they know what you are talking about. Also that you try and send an email to Inktomi support... hopefully it will make it into the right hands.

I know that INK is aware of the situation. If you know others that are victims of this latest problem, please point them to this thread.
