I've only been submitting for the last two months, however up until 18th, i've been manually checking for listings and rankings with the search engines.
Got hotdog to do that now, which i can see emerging patterns, i.e - msn lists site for all search terms for some of the countries with the same ranks, Why?
MSN been driven by inktomi, where is the sites listing's with all the other partners of inktomi.
I have paid express fee's via looksmart and got a good rank in the uk only. Should i just wait till they reindex or is there a way i can force the issue, as google, yahoo, odp and aol are my most successful - which isn't that successful as they have'nt reindexed my site in 45 days which has changed considerable since my initial submissions.
Where as Fast, AV, Lycos and Excite don't even come up! Fast i will catch the next index, but the other three worry me! Hence back to the subject - should i just leave the major search engines to find my site alterations, or submit like a nutter, repay submission charges, until all of my page listings with the SE's start to resemble my sites pages.
Anyone that can weed there way through this and has the time to answer any of these points would be much appreciated.

I would wait another month before starting to re-submit.

Are you sure you're in inktomi? Did you pay the PT fee if so next to your listing on msn will be the redirect inktomi now uses, or are you not just looking at the looksmart listing, mind you of the uk inktomi partners (imho)MSN is the best one to be in.
Did you pay the £99 fee for looksmart UK? If so you will only be indexed by the UK SE's only, if google has indexed your site don't resubmit wait, googlebot will come out to your site again
Fast & Lycos well what can I say but SLOW, again wait a bit longer & resubmit
Have fun :)
