"Don't get caught in THIS trap.
Submitting through the "free" services found at HotBot, Canada.com, and other engines that use the Inktomi database will get your pages automatically penalized until such time the Inktomi robot "rediscovers" them. To avoid the penalty, and to guarantee your content stays in the index and updates every 48 hours, use the paid submission service at
Positiontech.com -- Inktomi's submission channel partner."
We already know that Positiontech is very efficient and that this is a good way to get into the Inktomi database. However, I refuse to believe this is the only way to get pages to stick in the database. So I wanted to find out whether anyone's gotten positive results using other "submission" venues, such as links pages and submitting directory pages.
What is more effective?
1. Links pages (add a links page to a page in the permanent database so that other sites get spidered)
2. Submitting Directory listings or other places where a site is listed
3. Link programs such as links to you.
Any other ideas?
TIA,

P.S. PT is great but what about people that have many many sites/pages that need to be indexed.
I am still getting visited nearly every day by slurp so I would guess most sites that are linked to me would get the same visits soon.
I'm not paying GOTO for #1 so I guess my keywords aren't that competitive (Hurrah!)
There are some other sites that I want to get into ink but aren't that relevant to my site getting visited by slurp- would a link to these sites, even a temporary one, be an idea?
Just wanted to follow up on your "empty containers". We've made quite a bit of use in the last few months but the sample isn't big enough for a reasonable judgement on how well they've worked. Do you have any recent comment on how well they're working for you?
I also wonder if Google picks them up and applies value.
