Looking for crawlable directories or SEs that still do paid inclusion. Not talking about PPC/CPC. I'm talking about a yearly fee to guarantee inclusion within their database. I know of Y! directory and the Excite paid inclusion programs. Seems that all the others (Looksmart, AltaVista, Ask, etc) that I remember have turned to PPC models. Are there any remaining Paid Inclusion directories/SEs that still exist today on yearly contracts?
My thoughts exactly. There are tons of directories that do this. You can find lists of them if you search the DP forums.
As add-on modules to the packages my company sells. For example, a client wants the Y! dir added on to their SEO package they purchased, which is $299 because their site is 100% commercial (I tried creating non-commercial pages and submitting with no success). They wanted me to manage it, so I charge them a $25.00 mark-up form my less than 1-hour of time. Now my company wants to know what other similar services are out there. Just a VAR, if clients buy it fine, if not, I'll still do the same amount of work.
Whew, I thought you were looking for it for yourself.... ok, turn off the alarms and the sirens.... you might try - ineedhits.com. They used to be one of the inktomi search submit partners. They may have something you can offer.
heh - you should have seen the alarms when my boss asked me the first time "So, what other sites have a Yahoo Express". Needless to say, I did some edumacating. thanks for the lookup, I'll give them a try. I found enhance.com as a good Excite partner.

Try these: business.com, stpt.com, botw.org, uncoverthenet.com and gimpsy.com. They all offer yearly inclusions. There are many others.
