Okay, as of New Year, Inktomi deleted all my free listings...
Goo now worthless......

I've run reports on all my sites, and have discovered that all the sites in Ink for which I used Goo, have now been deleted. The ones I've paid for are fine. Does that mean they've covered the Goo thing?

Hmmm, some stuff I had in through Goo is still there Backus. These were august submissions - those are the last new pages I tried that way. Maybe it is a time frame thing? When did you submit them?

I just checked Pure Search and my free listings are still there but nowhere to be found on Hot Bot.

Agreed with Liane. They're there on Pure Search but have dropped out of Hotbot & AOL. My last submission using Goo was in October.

Liane, my paid pages are not in Hotbot either. No loss, no traffic from there ever, anyway. My free pages are still alive and well at AOL and MSN, the only Ink-spots I'm concerned with. (sorry, couldn't resist the pun).

Yep ... mine are still in AOL and MSN too, but I think that's because of my paid LookSmart listing? You're right Marcia, they're the only one's I care about too. But how long do you think that will last considering they've been dropped by Hot Bot. Anyone think this is a trend. Will AOL and MSN drop us as well? Is LookSmart out?

I usually get about 10 visits a month from Hotbot. It's 10 more more than nothing.

Not me Liane, I don't do LS.

Hey everyone - can you tell me where the inktomi pure search is? Some of my rankings have dropped out of MSN & AOL and I'd like to check there.
