should I pay to get included in Inktomi, Alltheweb?

My sites have been online for years but not indexed by them

at least not now. I remember being listed on both a while back. Is it worth paying the money for two URLs now? I did a search and got pros and cons. If I pay, will they limit the index to the front page, or crawl and index like a normal SE? If not, I'd rather wait for the free one, and at least I have a chance of getting 100's of pages indexed.

I wonder if they limit the paying sites to just the URLs paid for....to make us pay to submit the rest of them. I see many sites that have tons of pages indexed, and I know they didn't pay for each URL. Having just the front page indexed might not be worth $100, having most of the pages would be since that's how I make most of my money.

should I go for it?

If you only pay for one page I'd only count on having one page indexed.. But with MSN going straight Ink in the next few days and Yahoo most likely switching to Ink in the next few months, it may very well be worth the money to pay for multiple pages and start working the algo now (you may also want to consider an xml feed)..

Worth while, but if you're site is large and already gets plenty of visinting spiders you may find Slurp / FAST will come along and index you for free anyway. If they don't I would definitely consider paying up, especially when taking the changes at Yahoo! and MSN into consideration.
