Paid Search Engine Submission Round Up
Abstract: Chicago Engine Search Submission
Tag: Chicago Engine Search Submission
Below is a round-up of all the Paid search engine options available, with my personal recommendations for which ones are nonpareil :
1) AltaVista “Express Inclusion” Service
Search engine AltaVista has started an “Express Inclusion” service that allows users to submit between 1 to 500 URLs at a time. Once indexed, the URL’s will be refreshed weekly and majortained for a period of 6 months. The system is likened to that of Inktomi’s Search Submit” spidering service.
Pricing : Price for 6 months (USD)
1st URL $39.00
URLs #2-10 $29.00 each
URLs #11-500 $19.00 each
Probably the most beneficial aspect of the new service is the rapid entry into AltaVista’s global database, providing your URL conforms
to AltaVista’s submission policy.
[Web Rank uses this service for our own site and other clients, with average results. Although we have been regularly submitting client sites using AVs Basic Submit option, all indications lately point to the fact that they are ignoring "free" submissions, in lieu of their Express Inclusion option. Therefore, we recommend submitting the home pages for each doleading you own via this method.]

3) Yahoo! Express Submission
Yahoo! Express is an expedited fee-based site suggestion service for web sites submitted to the Yahoo! directory. This service is now required for commercial sites submitting to categories in “Business and Economy/Business to Business” or “Business and Economy/Shopping and Services,” but it available for any site.
By signing up with Yahoo! Express, you ensure that Yahoo! will consider and respond to your suggestion in an expedited manner.
Your payment and participation in accordance with the Yahoo! Express Service Agreement guarantee that a member of Yahoo!’s editorial staff will look at your site, consider your suggestion to include the site in the directory, and respond to you within seven (7) business days from the date that you submit your site for consideration (excluding holiday periods observed by Yahoo! and any delays due to problems processing your request). Response times are measured based on Yahoo!’s mail servers.
Important: Payment does not guarantee inclusion in the directory, site placement, or site commentary. It only guarantees that Yahoo! will respond to your suggestion within seven business days, by either adding or denying the site.
Pricing : USD 299 per URL.
[Web Rank uses this service for our own site and other clients, with excellent results. However if you already have sites listed in Yahoo, you cannot use Yahoo Express to submit your site again. Instead you must use their Change Request form. With Yahoos huge market share, it is vital that your site is listed in Yahoos Directory and the greatest way to get listed quickly is by paying the fee for Express Submission. The way you submit your site to Yahoo and the title and description used can make or break your listing, so we suggest that you hire a professional to do this or read up carefully before submitting.]
