I submitted a number of sites to the ineedhits.com "Paid Inclusion" service in late October 2002. In the message I got as a receipt for my order, it said

When will my web page/s be included? The schedule set by Ask Jeeves is 7 days.

I have just now, over 5 months later, received "URL Inlcuded" messages kindly telling me that the url's submitted are "now included in the Ask Jeeves/Teoma Database".

What is this?
