Dogpile / Excite Pay For Inclusion

Dogpile & Excite Set Up Pay For Inclusion Model

[veritysystems]

Has anyone signed up with this new service yet? It seems a bit expensive when compared with other PFI models.

Go for the volume .... a 500 page site for $400 looks like a good price to me .... but how in the world does one optimize their site for a metasearch engine?

If you can't optimize, or if the ranking algorithm they have come up with for direct-registered sites doesn't give you some kind of a boost, it's money down the drain.

And with Overture and FindWhat and who-knows-what-revenue-listings plastered all over their SERP's, will the Dogpile PFI pages have a chance?

A pay-for-inclusion entry into a metasearch engine looks like it could have promise. But I'll wait until I hear some credible and positive responses from others. Been burned too much lately on PFI mirages.

Thank's for the info. Looks a bit expensive to me, and we already do Overture.
