Go ahead and submit your site(s) here:
UK Altavista [uk.altavista.com]
After you submit to the UK site you will receive a page that asks you if you want to submit to US Altavista. That one is still working from what I see here.
Clicking on "free" takes you back to option 1 (pay). An omen?
it works just fine.
They question I would ask, Brett, instead of "are they going to pull an inktomi" is
Why wouldn't they pull an inktomi? Given all the CMGI troubles these days, and the sliding market share of Altavista in the search market, why wouldn't they try anything that was already accepted to gain more revenue?
Downside of this move: people don't get to submit their sites for free. Shucks. Upside: reliable indexing...could be quite a hook.
<speculation>
And the price? Well, given their market capitalization...I would gauge it at 30 for the first page.</speculation>
