Lycos.co.uk - how to get a .com to appear in results

[IanTurner]

I have a .com site which is doing very nicely in the lycos.com results pages and yet does not appear in lycos.co.uk - can anyone explain this and does anyone know how to get lycos.co.uk to recognise a .com site as being uk based.

All the best

Hi Ian,

Lycos uk results automatically filter OUT .com domains.

There is a simple solution to register and submit a .co.uk to the database.

Alternatively, the lycos directory will review submitted sites, assuming it's a .com based in the uk. Although, reported here [webmasterworld.com] at WebmasterWorld, there has been mixed success in getting into the directory.

The final options is a paid listing through eSpotting, reported here. [webmasterworld.com]

I hope this helps.

I have managed to get a .eu.com listed but this was in the directory part. Also I have just done another check and one of our clients is in the search index with a .com. But this was submitted over 6 months ago.
Is this .com ban something new?

On the subject of UK sites, how about getting .uk domains to appear in the default "English speaking area" search using Lycos.co.uk?

We have a site that ranks very well in the Lycos.com index and also at Lycos.co.uk, but only when "Internet" is selected for the search area.

Unfortunately, Lycos.co.uk appears to default to the aforementioned "English...", where the site is conspicuous by its absence.

This has puzzled me for a while - first thoughts were that it could be due to a missing "language" tag in the HEAD of the page, but examination of some of the sites that DO appear reveals this is not the case.

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Fast > alltheweb, maybe the problem, check your rankings with Fast, then you'll know where you stand with the english speaking area. If your not listed, you may not have submitted to fast.
