Hey Bill, is there any way to check the free databases to see if sites are indexed? The only place I know of to check is the Pure Search page at Positiontech. I've got a lot of really old domains and I know a bunch of them used to be in Ink. I guess it's possible they're still in there.

Surfn, I used to submit to Inktomi for free, even after they came out with their paid service. I have no clue how to do that now. Where do you go to submit?

I'm doing a lot of research on Inktomi right now, and if I find any juicy tidbits that might be helpful, I'll pass them along here.

At http://search.positiontech.com/Inkto...TechSearch.jsp

...punch in your domain name. Try with and without the www.

Just... mydomain.com

Another way at MSN is:

http://search.msn.com/advanced.aspx

Put in empty quotes within the search field- ""

Put your domain name in the domain field.

Read here for Ink stuff:

You are all set.

PS- If you have even a few good links I wouldn't do PFI on Ink. I have had clients do PFI and only have those URL's in Ink whereas, one of my smaller sites has far ore listings in Ink and I never did PFI.
