Inktomi

Any good for property sites ?

Hi,

Is it worth paying for ink's inclusion, say for a page aiming at London homes/property.

I have seen my homepage/main url in ink's index, but it seems to be well down the rankings for it's keywords. Should I pay for this page to be indexed again or will it just rank in the same place ?

Can anyone have a guess at what a number 1 spot in this keyword area is worth?

Thanks Paul

Paul,

If the page is already in the index, then there are two avenues you can go with this:

1) Optimize the page for the keywords, and then patiently wait for it to climb in rankings.

2) Optimize the page for the keywords, and pay for spidering, to be sure that the page will be picked up.

Well, INK results show up on a number of different search engines and portals. (AOL, MSN, etc.)

Check out what your up against with overture & Looksmart listings on MSN then decide if it's worth the investment, the only benefit to paying for an ink in the UK is the MSN results so you need to see if you stand a chance of getting into the top 10 or so
