Yahoo free anymore??? - 1/31/2002 18:04:06
Does anyone know if a site can be listed in yahoo anymore without paying?
It seems like we will all have to pay to be listed in any search engine in the future. As far as I can tell you have to pay to get into Inktomi too.
What happened to the good 'ole days?

You can still get into Yahoo free if you have a non profit site. Someone posted here somewhere in the last day or two who got in with a site in 2 days that way but that was truly exceptional.
I think the days of everythign being free are well gone and will never be back. However even with its new charges Yahoo is very cheap for a business compared to say a listing in the Yellow Pages.

Madame Search Engine --
If you're doing a site for a non-US company and have to choose, do you list in the .ie/.co.uk or the .com?
I know the .com is probably smarter, but I did also think there was a feeder system going on. Am I utterly misguided here?
Grazie,
Moi

I'd really like to know the answer to this one.
I'm building a UK site for which I've registered both .com and .co.uk, the intention being to cross-refer one to the other. But which to which?

p.s. - Good to see you back Bri.

I list the .com unless it is a company or site that will absolutely definitely have no interest form anyone anywhere but Ireland. Some clients are adamant that only .ie will do, usually semi government linked organiasations.
The reasoning is that everyone is familiar with .com, if they forget the actual extension that is always the one they try first. Even here many companies do ot bother with .ie names at all, mainly because they cost about $150 per year, have to be reregistered yearly and require a lot of paperwork to prove your right to use a name. On one occasion a client of mine had to get a resolution passed by the local county council and an affidavit signed by its chairman to get the right to use his business name because it happened also to be the same as small village in the county.
Not all are prepared to bother with that sort of c***
