Need Paid Submission Help

Need help submitting my site to pay-for-play SE's

[greektomi]

Do to the student loan Debacle of 1996 I currently do not possess a credit card. In the offline world this hasn't been a problem for me. In fact it probably has been a blessing. But now that I'm trying to get my site listed in the various pay-for-spidering SE's and pay-for-inclusion directories, not having a credit card makes me feel like a social pariah. I would like to get my site listed in inktomi, teoma, all the web, yahoo, looksmart etc.

I have thought about hiring a SEO firm to do my submissions for me and I'll just send them a money order via snail mail. But know I come to learn (I think) that Looksmart and Yahoo! NEED your credit card number.

Do any of you know how I can either:

A. Submit my site directly to the various PFP SE's and pay them via money order?

B. Hire an SEO firm to submit my pages for me and I'll just pay them via money order?

C. Get listed in Yahoo! and Looksmart w/out a credit card?

I'm talking here about EXPRESS SUBMIT not free submit.

If anyone wants to offer up an idea for a service that can help me out feel free to sticky me.

If anyone can offer up some advice on how I can help myself, many thanx in advance.

greektomi, some people also don't have bank accounts. If you do, you can use PayPal to send funds to a company to make the submissions for you if they take it. They'll probably charge a fee, either flat fee or hourly, and if you send them check or PayPal money for their fee plus the submission fee, then they can use their credit card to do the submission for you.

If you aren't currently using a bank account (which some people don't) you can still send a money order in advance for their fee plus submission fee and same thing - they can use their credit card.

Also with the something like Inktomi submission, send the $ and they can do your submission with their card.

PPC has differences, you'd probably have to set up a regular balance to keep with them and send more money when the funds start to approach being deleted.

I've been all over Google looking for such a service and here are the problems I'm finding:

Vague language about whether or not they will use free submit or express submit

Hidden contact info (web rage)

Broken Forms (more web rage)

If any of you know of a company who can do this kind of thing or if you do this kind of thing please sticky me I am searching vigorously but I'm finding more junk than promise....

Added <I do not have a bank account at this moment so I'm looking to just send a money order via snail mail. I can and will get one if it's my only hope.

Have you looked into prepaid credit cards? I don't have experience with them, but my understanding is you pay cash for the card and the limit is good for the amount deposited/paid. I don't think any bank account is required. I'm not sure how available they are, just remember the idea from a passing conversation. May be worth a look.

Most U.S. banks also offer debit cards with standard checking accounts. They work just like a credit card. We use them for all PFI.

Thanks for the help all... I finally found someone who will do my pfi to inktomi and yahoo for me. Alls I have to do is send them a money order. And currently I'm setting up a bank account to handle all my internet related expenses. I think I was suffering from either mistrust of online transactions or perhaps just mistrust of banks in general :)
