Thanks for the update, Heini. I am about to run a 14 sites, 13 languages by-the-book full scale test of the findings in the strategy primer and was re-reading the piece to freshen up my memory.
Although I am not too interested in paying per click or in any other fashion, I will do it if I have to. The question is: Do I have to? Or can I make it with Google and Fast and assorted other free local SE:s and directories? Competition for the targeted keywords doesn't appear to be too tough from what I have seen so far. Nothing that a WebmasterWorld member couldn't handle, anyway.
The language areas I am planning for include 120 page sites in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Estonian, Finnish, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian, so it is quite an ambitious project. Any thoughts?

The fastest is certainly voila.fr, with free submissions getting honored in the past in a question of 2-3 weeks, in my experience. yahoo.fr and nomade.fr are a bit slower, but they usually do it within a month. Now if your commercial site is in a hurry for business, of course a month can be a long time! And then again, from one week to the next, there's no way of knowing how they will handle their free submissions, I guess.
Sorry if this sounds vague, but all I can go by is my past experience, which has been pretty succesful - it's just that PPI is pretty new now in France, so everything is kind of harder to predict nowadays.
