Looksmart UK no longer accepting non-commercial submissions?

Can't submit unless you pay-up apparently...

Thought I'd try to submit a non-commercial site using Looksmart.co.uk's free submission method and there's no option [submit.looksmart.co.uk]! Spent half an hour surfing through Looksmart.co.uk.

Am I missing something or is Looksmart becoming greedier than it already is and now expecting non-commercial sites to pay nearly £200 to be listed?

Perhaps they are expecting all non-commercial sites to come in through Zeal now?

I don't remember a free submit being there at all - at least not for months/years.

Have I missed something?

Like Abrexa_UK, I thought all freebies had to go through Zeal.

Used to be an option at Looksmart: I don't know if it was the US one or UK.

Zeal will only show up on Looksmart US and MSN.com, not msn.co.uk

Absolutly no way non-profit sites can afford to pay £200 or whatever it is.

Zeal does, as noted above, only power the US LookSmart network (ie MSN too)

But they are considering a UK site - I saw this a while ago:

BTLookSmart considering Zeal UK link directory

[europemedia.net...]

So one day, maybe we'll see zeal.co.uk.

Thanks for the heads-up Redlion.
It'll be interesting to see if this becomes a reality.
