Teoma.com 2.0 measures the authority as well as the popularity of web sites. It powers other search engines, specifically Ask Jeeves, as well as powering its own search engine. Teoma uses what they have branded as Subject-Specific Popularity^SM that ranks a site based on the number of same-subject pages in other ranked sites that Link to it, not just general popularity (page count), to determine a site's level of authority.

Placement Requirements

Like Inktomi, Teoma will guarantee to include your pages if you use its Ask Jeeves Site Submit Paid Inclusion program which allows your new pages to be listed in a week. As with Inktomi, it's recommended that new sites use the program to get their home pages quickly listed. As with Inktomi, it's possible that your page could be dropped, if you don't renew. However it is highly unlikely to happen to a home page.

Suggestions and Tips for Best Results

It does not help to be in a LinkFarm. Teoma also has crawling spider technology and thus any Submission will lead to a full site being indexed. Initial results are sponsored Google AdWord links.
