>>However, I would think that the ranks would be from top to bottom: PPF, PFI, free

airpal, if they rank like that they'll need to have it very plain out there which are free and which are paid.

>>build a photo library for my site. I've never really had the time before. In fact, there is a regatta on today ... so I think I'll start there!

Liane, why not think about making a "non-commercial" informational site with a photo gallery, separate from the main site? That makes another basket for you to put your content in. Separate directory listings (free Yahoo), separate strategy. It can reinforce the other.

Couldn't something like that be developed into another revenue source altogether?

By the way, Ink "lost" a site months ago that always did well with them. Now that I'm getting Inktomi at Yahoo it's back in the SERPs there - it's in the Yahoo directory. Still not at MSN.

>>What you going to do come 2004? Stick with opto-ing for G or play G as second fiddle to Ink?

Ink full speed ahead. Always loved them, never had a bit of a problem (except the pages they lost on one site). The only problem I foresee, since I'm seeing Ink at Yahoo for a straight week, is what they're doing with the Directory sites in the SERPs. That'll be a killer to deal with.

Pages for Ink, sites for Google. I don't see why one excludes the other.
