Hey there...
Seems like it might help ...? to know that Inktomi is slurp ing my site currently. The site has only been up for a month and a half. I have not paid for any inclusions anywhere including INK , but slurp has been at my site every day beginning on July 8 to the present july 18. I only submitted one time through the free submit process.
Hope this is useful to someone thinking of paying for submission.
