every four weeks. Paid inclusion may be desirable if you have a new
website or web pages or if you alter your web pages frequently, and you
do not wish to wait until the next cycle of crawling. There is an
"Express Paid” inclusion service of self-service type for up to 500
pages at a time. This service will enable weekly crawling. Their bulk
program called "Trusted Feed” will enable the pages to be directly
linked to their index. Pricing for "Trusted Feed” is on a cost-per-click
model with a monthly minimum. In this program you can submit the Meta
data, descriptions and keywords directly to the index. Nevertheless, the
engine will check whether the destination page hasthe same Meta data or
not and could levy a penalty for spam. AltaVista’s ranking policies are
a combination of various factors. The frequency and positioning of
keywords and descriptions is important, as are title tags or words that
appear near the top of the page. AltaVista applies link analysis to
determine relevancy and page ranking. It levies penalty on spamming and
does not recognize invisible or tiny text, keyword stuffing, identical
pages, mirror sites, or quick meta refresh tags.
