Page is a not externally linkable

My new site that I started with 0 incoming links got indexed in Inktomi about two weeks after I submitted.
The criteria for the free crawl are not totally clear. They obviously crawl "important" sites (I suspect that links play a part in that definition), but also crawl fairly obscure sites.
