The only thing that stands out is the idea that Inktomi will crawl a paid-for-inclusion page. From what I understand the paid and spidered indexes are separate. Is it really true that if you submit a site map, a paid inclusion site will send a non-paid-for-inclusion spider over the links? Thanks! Shelley Thanks for keeping us informed!

Having a URL in the paid index does not influence the appearance of other URLs into the unpaid index. However, it is quite likely that the appearance of the paid-submitted link in Inktomi could influence its ranking with Google, which in turn could influence Inktomi to spider the other links from the site. Still, those links will be in a separate index. The only way to make sure is to check one's web log and see if the Inktomi spider has been there lately. It is pretty hardworking and most likely has visited already. The paid index and the unpaid, spidered index are indeed separate.
