Hi Angela

The consensus amongst the regulars here seems to be that links matter on both AV and Inktomi, although they aren't nearly as important as with Google. Beyond a certain fairly (small? 30-50?) number of RELAVENT links, AV and INK tend to ignore additional linkage. AV and INK also seem to value links from a directory more highly. If your site is listed in Yahoo or ODP, submit the page a few times!

You started using Jet Hits 2000 last month, give it time! Each engine spiders and indexes at their own pace. My advice is to persist and give it six months to evaluate how effective your efforts are.

Then come back and tell us which engines like lots of links!

Dave

Good Luck!
Dave
