I paid for a year ago or less still the whole site has never been spidered, I just looked at yahoo.co.uk for my pages only 140 pages out of more then 1000 was indexed.

I checked the listings because I could not understand why my site is placed so bad on inktomi, I know that inktomi is a bad se, but anyway it was wired, but maybe the reason is that the whole site is not indexed and I cant find my index page (domain).

I have Inktomi to be a bit of a so and so but once cracked its worth it.

So your saying you have paid to be listed one page? Or the whole site?

if your getting no clicks id be happy too take a look at your site just sticky me.

For Inktomi, having 140 pages of your site indexed is not bad. It crawls slowly, and adds pages to the index even more slowly. As far as I know, when you pay Inktomi, you're only paying *per page*, not for the whole site.

Now, if your pages are on Inktomi but have a bad ranking, you probably just need to work on your keywords (especially in the titles). (Then wait a month or two for Inktomi to get the changes).

Also, be sure that when you search Yahoo, you're really getting Inktomi results -- they usually use Google, though they might be switching to Ink.
