Gotos results from Inktomi

do they have their own db

[jimmykav]

On all of the sites that use Inktomi I rate #1 for the appropriate keywords....except goto. My site does not appear at all in the goto listings.
Do they have their own seperate db from everyone else?

all my ink pages are also showing on goto, but of course bided results are over them

I think it's the same db, just a completely different algo

ok thanks people.
I remember that for one week my page did appear in the results but that was a long time ago.

Cest la vie.

I have the same impression. Our sites rank fine for several keywords / keyword phrases on Inktomi, but not so fine on GOTO for the same searches.

We have the impression that GOTO give preferences to the NOT-PAID Inktomi listings (URLS that Inktomi crawled itself) and that the used Inktomi database is very old.

In any case the (free) GOTO databases is sometimes strange; we noticed one of our site listed with an old title and with the description got from the page (from what you can see in the page): what it is strange is that clicking on it you get an error (it is not clickable) and the URL address showed after the description is completely wrong; it is an URL of another web site that doesn'work at all!

Does somebody know the GoTo algo?
