Inktomi results

Not showing up anywhere anymore -- what happened?

[m12318]

A few months ago, we had decent placements and rankings at Inktomi (results seen using their pure search lookup). However, my placements have all disappeared -- have there been any dramatic changes with Inktomi lately?

And, no, we are not paying for inclusion with Inktomi. But then again, we weren't paying for inclusion a few months ago when we were showing up and when we were in the top 5.

Also: if we aren't paying for inclusion and this is why we were dropped, are we missing out on anything by not participating?

Thanks for your assistance.

If your placements really disappeared, you may have got the boot for spamming.

If your placements just fell drastically, join the crowd. Ink increased the size of their index dramatically a few weeks ago causing many rankings to be significanltly diluted.

But here's where I'm confused -- I'm doing well in the other search engines, but I'm a big fat 0 in Inktomi.

Where did I go wrong?
