Espotting.com seems to be the first place in the UK that Inktomi results first show up.

Submitted a fresh URL on Thursday which had never been indexed and its been showing at Espotting since lunchtime today (after sponsored listings).

still NO sign at Hotbot or Msn.

(added: starting to show across all partners if searching for full url domain.co.uk - still musnt complain, nice to see Ink still works via Positiontech).

Has it shown up on Overture UK yet (under the sponsored listings)?

Overture Uk got some mad algo going on, spam spam spam and spam after the sponsored listings.

The rest are all now showing #1 or #2 across all UK partners, who seem to have some distinction between UK specific Ink algo.

You think Overture UK results are bad! Have you seen the mess AOL UK gets itself into? - it should be 'powered by Google'!

sem4u,

It is "powered by Google" or am I missing some humour here.

Sorry, what I meant is that AOL UK search is powered by Google, but often the results are nothing like Google SERPS, e.g. two pages of AOL SERPS devoted to the same site (different pages).
