How to get site unbanned in INK

[needsomehelp]

I have a site that's been banned by INK I guess b/c it was too simialr to another one of my sites. I totally revamped the banned site in hopes of it getting relisted.

Is there a contact email at INK? How do I ask to be reinstated?

Thanks!

Not unless it is a pfi page. Once you are gone in Ink, it takes a long long time to come back.

Thanks Brett.

The site appeared to be banned and I thought it was b/c I let the PFI expire. So I renewed the PFI and it was listed again. Three days later it was gone again.

Why?

Have you tried searching for URL on ink? If you've paid for a page I can't see how ink wouldn't list the page, they can't take your money then not list the site

[needsomehelp]

Yes the page is still listed, but nowhere to be found in search results.

I got excited when I did the PFI inclusion for this site again b/c it was listed great for my terms. But after several days, the site fell off the radar. I gave up searching for it in results.

Don't ever pay for PFI with INKTOMI.

They will place your site on # 547.876 after some weeks.
I heard they penalize 99% of all PFI customers after they paid for inclusion.

They just want your money.

I don't agree I paid for a load of pages, but let them lapse when the price went up, those pages are now ranking quite well and I get 16% of my traffic from MSN all free

Yeah, I don't agree with 99% penalty b/c other sites I submitted at the same time do quite well.
