I have the same problem with Infoseek

I have top 10 ratings for my keywords on all the Web Position search engines - except Infoseek

I used to have a top ten with Infoseek, but that went about 6 weeks ago and I cannot establish it again.
I do not think I am being penalised for spamming.

The odd thing is that my pages are there, but do not come up when Infoseek is interrogated
I have since had the problem with Infoseek on four other sites - all have top ten ratings on keywords
with all other search engines

I must admit, I had given up with Infoseek on all my sites. I thought I would give it three months without
making any submissions on any site and see if they were re-integrated into the data base.

I am glad to hear I am not the only one with this Infoseek problem

I would be interested to hear if anyone has contacted them and if so what the response was

David
