Pay for Inclusion and Pay for Placement Sites

Some search engines and directories now charge for inclusion into their index. The list below represents the most important ones to consider. When you pay for inclusion, it’s crucial more than ever to have an optimized, search engine friendly site.

Some search engines/directories have no guarantees for inclusion. If your site is rejected for whatever reason, you are required to pay the fee each time you submit. It’s important to process your submissions correctly the first time because you may not have a second chance to change it. Time frames to get listed and costs are listed below.
