What was the ranking on the page under any quality kw's?
I will confess we have submitted thousands quality new pages for clients over the last six months, and only a handful have made their way to the top page over the last six months. Our old stuff sticks like glue. We've had about three dozen pages ranked top three for three years - rarely do they move out of the top ten for long.
Look here.. [webmasterworld.com...]
I still can't get any good listings. Buried
Over the last 6 mths things have never stayed in ink for longer than 1 week, until the big change around when all my site's got burried never to be seen by human eye's again.
I have been looking around inks nice new site and tring to find their partner listing with no luck, any idea wheres it has been hidden.
Tigger, check out this page [inktomi.com] for partners:
OR, if you would like a different list published by Ink, try this [inktomi.com] one.
Um, not sure if the link worked...kinda new in town.
We started targeting a new keyword about 2 months ago, and produced a few websites that all revolved around 4 or 5 related keywords...I must add that these keywords are not very competitive, insofar that it doesn't seem to be targeted by SEO's or people who know much about SE marketing. There is competition but by people who are not ver SEO savvy.
These sites made it into the index within 2 weeks...In a month most of them achieved top rankings, and they have stuck.
On the 14th I submitted 2 of these sites and a doorpage through Position Technology...Not only did the doorpage, which is new, get listed...It is also in the top 10 of hotbot, AOL and freeserve...MSN doesn't seem to have updated...however, in MSN, the 2 sites that we paid for are number 3 and 5, so they definitely got a boost...they used to be ranked lower...
It's only been a month and a half so it's hard to say...but so far, not only have they stuck but they're also ranking very high.
I'll keep you posted.

The rest of the site has not yet been spidered.
At that time, the site was doing fairly well but was not on any INK sites . These are the current rankings for her most important (targeted) key word phrase. She is getting some traffic and sales, so things are looking up!

I have been pretty busy on another project and haven't taken the time to check her rankings lately, but it looks as though she may have her foot in the door on at least some of the Inktomi partner sites.
Should I resubmit to the sites that have still not picked up her site or is that pushing things?
I'd have to say that none of our new sites have been added, and if they were they were so low we never found them in searches. :( The sites we do have are still buried including our paid submission. Just out of curiosity, are they still updating the listings every 48 hours for paid customers? The date on my listing shows 11/16/2000 that's a little over 48 hours.

Thanks, but our page that is listed that I'm referring to is updated on a regular basis, approximately every 4 days. We are tweaking the pages to get a higher listing, so the date should reflect that.

I have been holding out because I feel guilty. The sites I am working on have been doing *very* well in Inktomi. In fact, that is the only database that my site is consistantly being doing top 10 since the end of May. I started submitting in April.
Is it because I work for a big company's site known the world over? I have been wondering this whole time if there is some sort of bias to large companies. I honestly don't know, but I am thankful.

It's been stable in the db for many weeks. Glad to see some stability and, some good rankings too. :)
INK picked up about 30 pages without us submitting and ranking like the stuff in the old db but nothing else. And I don't really have a reason for those pages being picked up and not others.
We are trying to figure uot if it just happen or there is a reason for it as I type.
Up until the most recent update, we were showing up consistenly on the first or second page of results for targeted key phrases... but at least the site hasn't been completely dropped, right? :P
Are there a new set of rules for getting listed better? I admit I've been ill and out of the loop for about 2 months. Any info to help out would be most appreciated. Are we looking at link popularity, keyword counts, what?
TIA
Jill
anybody having luck getting new pages into the db? In the last month? Without paying, I mean...still not wanting to fork out the cash.
Cheers,
