VeriSign, Inktomi Debut Listing Service for Web Site

[luckynh]

Created to help entrepreneurs establish a highly-visible Web presence, the cost of the first URL submission to Inktomi's Search/Submit service is $30 for a full year, with each new one available at $15 a pop. In an interesting twist, registrants don't have to be clients of VeriSign; they may have acquired their domain name from (gasp!) rival Register.com."

The program is now available through VeriSign's Network Solutions domain name registration service.

What is Inktomi's "Add URL" service? [networksolutions.com]

"...As a result, Inktomi cannot guarantee that URLs submitted through the service can get in or stay in the Inktomi index..."

This leads me to bleive that they are penlizing for free submit.

The Inktomi Search/Submit service differs from other free and paid submission services by including URLs within 48 hours and re-indexing clients' data every 48 hours to ensure up-to-date search results. The package also includes an account management tool for customers to confirm inclusion of listings and to update URLs if they change after subscribing to the service.

It sounds just like the position tech service...yet I don't see PT listed anywhere. (?)
