On another thread, Yahoo! has published an email address to appeal exclusion form Inktomi now Yahoo!Search. If the appeal is rejected: (1) will Yahoo! provide specific reasons so that the site owner will know precisely what changes need to be made; (2) if the web site owner makes changes, may the owner re-submit to Yahoo! allowing the web site, (presuming it now conforms to Yahoo! Guidelines) to be added via "Add URL" (3) or will rejection mean that the web site owner needs to register with Site Match for review and inclusion?

If a web site excluded from Inktomi now Yahoo!Search registers with Site Match, will the web site be required to register each year thereafter in order to be included in Yahoo!Search?

If the reason for a web site's registration with Site Match is because it was dropped by Inktomi would it be 'more fair' to charge a "site review fee" instead of charging for each page plus per click? There are several penalities here: The first penalty was being dropped by Inktomi, the second penalty is having to pay for each page to be indexed in Yahoo!Search. And if the site owner has to pay for each year after the first year, then it's a lifetime penalty.

If a site is spidered/indexed in 'free inclusion' --are all pages indexed or only the home page?

Lastly, in Site Match why do Adult sites only pay 15 cents per click?

Thank you
