I Yahoo Sitematched my Index Page - Now the Entire Site is Free Crawled

Will Stopping the Sitematch Affect my Free Crawl?

One of my websites was never in Yahoo until I bought Sitematch for the index page. Suddenly, my internal pages are starting to get indexed as if my site is now found by the free crawler. Anyone else experienced this? Can I stop paying and stay in the free index?

Thanks

Elarborating on what oilman said, our site was in the Ink paid inclusion for 2 years before the plan was dropped. After that, we stayed in Yahoo from that point on without paying. So I would suggest staying in for a while, maybe a year, until you can be seen as someone they can trust. Then try to see if you can stay in as free.

Its a tricky question, I got 7 sites, 2 of them I paid for inclusion on iktomi 1,5 years ago, the other I did not.

Now those I paid for, is a index only site on yahoo and the others are fine on Yahoo.
