Pay for Inclusion Search Engines
Some search engines require you to pay for inclusion.
Others will include you but will take a long time to index you if you
don't pay.
Currently, the top pay-for-inclusion services are FAST and Inktomi. Inktomi
is sure to rise in importance now that Yahoo has acquired them and stated
they will change their famous web site to use results from Inktomi. As
of this writing, these two search engines supply or supplement results
for the following services:
| Fast |

Even though these are pay-for-inclusion search engines,
you still need to take the same steps to optimize your web site as you
would for free search engines. After all, if the pay-for-inclusion search
engines can't understand your site or choose the wrong search terms,
you
end up paying – but with no results.
Elixir Systems have years
of experience optimizing web sites for search engines. We can help you
get
the results you want.
