I have been getting emails advising me to include my URL in Inktomi before 15th April. Then I get another email from a reputable (I think) marketing company saying that Yahoo will drop Inktomi results. Does anyone have any advice? My site is crawled daily by Inktomi without me having to pay for it? Anyone know what the New Yahoo has in store?
Copy of part of the email for what its worth....
Latest News: Yahoo! let slip that it will soon exclude
Inktomi paid inclusion URLs from its main results.
(Friday, 20 February: New Yahoo search has surprise
in store)
What it means to you: You will need to be listed in Inktomi
so you can still be found on MSN and other engines that
will use Inktomi results. You will also need to be listed in Yahoo! Paid Inclusion, when it is announced. Please note this is different than the Yahoo! Directory.
More News: Yahoo's search engine spider is capturing
the full text of web pages, up to a 500,000 character limit.
The new Yahoo search also supports many file types,
including HTML, PDF, and Microsoft Office documents.
What it means to you: Yahoo is a very big player in the
search engine market. Its new search technology will
power nearly half of all searches conducted within the
United States. You'll want to make sure your site is
very SEO friendly, to ensure your spot in the new Yahoo!
