How to get listed in AltaVista?

Free: (Free is bottom area on their page with the funny looking "Submission code") - AltaVista is a search engine that uses many sources to produce its results. These sources include the Open Directory, Real Names, and its own web-crawling spider. After submitting a search phase to AltaVista, the user, by default, is given AltaVista's web page matches, which are produced by AltaVista's web page Index.

Paid: AltaVista also has a paid submission program.

Express Inclusion allows you to:

  • Receive rapid URL entry into AltaVista's global database.
  • Keep your page content up to date with automatic daily refreshes of your pages.
  • Maintain updated URLs in AltaVista's global database for a period of six months.
  • Track submissions and transactions online through your personal Account Management Center.
  • Enhance your listings within the AltaVista results by adding logos, icons, custom taglines, and text links to any of your URLs in the Express Inclusion program.
  • Add your country-specific URLs to the local index that matches your site's Domain. You may also pay to add your URLs to additional country indices. 

    Six Month Subscription Pricing
    AltaVista's Express Inclusion service is priced for a 6-month subscription period.

    UnitPrice (EUR) * 
    URL 1 €34.74 
    URL #2-10 €25.83 each 
    URL #11-500 €16.92 each

    There are rumours this paid submission is not working the way you want it:

    "When spidered our initial Ranking was #12 for "Search Engine Optimization". Two days later we settled at #4. When re-submitted thru the paid program we immediately returned to #12, and then 2 days later we were back to #4. We believe that the paid submission spider was causing us to decrease in ranking from #4 to #12. To avoid this Penalty, once we were #4 we changed the spidered page (yes, you can do that) to another page from our site. OPPS - the page ranked as #4 was immediately and totally removed from the AltaVista index. So it seems that once you are paying for Spidering, you must always pay for spidering or you will be deleted from the AltaVista index, and must wait weeks for the "free" submission to re-index your site."
