I've a site up now for about 6-8 months.
I am indexed on google,alltheweb,yahoo,teoma,excite
How do I get listed on hotbot? I'm aiming on being listed on all of the popular search engines yet to be listed on msn either. They dont seem to be getting the idea.

Any hints on who to submit to, to be included in either of these will be appreciated.

Hotbot.com is now a metasearch engine giving the option of searching using FAST, Google, Inktomi or Teoma.

Hotbot UK uses Inktomi search results. MSN uses Inktomi results for its search engine listings (under the Overture and LookSmart results).

You will need to wait for Ink to spider your site or you could submit for a fee to Ink through one of the reseller programs.

I just read on inktomi website that yahoo now owns inktomi.
Hopefully they share index's cos im listed on yahoo.
I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Yahoo also owns Altavista, FAST & Overture as well as Inktomi. They may decide to switch from the current Google results to using one or all of the above databases.
