Pages submitted via the US site stay buried for a month or two and then surface to the rightful position in the SERPs. I am wondering what the experience is of people submitting via the regional sites. Do the pages get in? Do they surface immediately or are they buried? etc???
Q2. Further to the ransom note system, is anyone else having problems getting the initial page to render correctly for submission. I have to reload the page a few times due to missing buttons or fields and the likes. Today I have to refresh 12 times before I could get a usable page. Anyone else having these problems? And is it simply a congestion problem at the AV servers, or perhaps their way of deterring all but the persistant die hards from submitting.

From a UK perspective the experience is not the same as at av.com. The European dB [and I think there is only one dB for the whole of Europe] is completely separate from the .com. Submissions tend to be spidered in full and listed with no penalty.

Exactly the same as you when using IE 5.5.
add url: [uk.altavista.com...]
(it looks like you are submitting to the whole Altavista search index, but it will submit you page only to the european DB)
