Only 1000 subscribers? I thought there was a lot more.

Some of Inks 1000 are at the "agency" level, w/ multiple "end clients" of their own...

Hi all,

We have 1,000 customers in the Index Connect program (pay-for-performance). We have well over 100,000 customers in our Search Submit program (pay-per-URL).

Has anyone told you they just love your posts lately - I for one eat them up...

And the point is...???

BTW - the ebay spam alone is enough to stop me from checking my own listings on MSN - what a mess

An ode to the latest update on INK!

Inktomi, oh Inktomi
What on earth have you done to me?
2 years at one - now ninety three!
My positions are toast - oh woe is me.

My rankings are now under attack
I feel you've stabbed me in the back!
For years I supported you through the flack
Of posters attacking you - alas, alack!

I spoke of the joys of PFI
I boosted your merits to the sky
Now buried by free sites - my rankings die
I do better on Google now! (Thanks, GoogleGuy).

Now Index Connect adds to my woes.
My positions have gone to all-time lows.
But, I suppose that this just shows
That SEOing keeps you on your toes!

Inktomi, oh Inktomi
I'm dumbfounded at this calamity!
You know I want you really to be
A great search engine, Inktomi.

:(

MMT - (weeping gently) 2002!
