You just pay a one time fee and then a fixed cost-per-click for every lead they send you (cost is based on industry).

That may be enough for you; I’m not sure it is for me.

For the few examples I’ve been able to see, there is the appearance of impropriety, with sites that do not appear to belong in the position they are in on a given serp.

If Phaithful is correct, to me it means one of two things (or both) : 1) lots of companies either don’t know how to get their sites and pages included in serps, or 2) it really does help their rankings.

And short of looking at the code for their algo, how can you say differently?

There is a screen shot on my blog.

Paid inclusion is to be included into the organic listings… once accepted into the organic listings, they are ranked accordingly, but the submitted no pays on a CPC basis for this service.

Lots of companies are using Y! paid inclusion and many are using Traffic Leader to submit the feeds to Y!.

Really, what are they using those special tracking links for? What would it have to do with inclusion? How can we be sure they aren’t getting special ranking treatment? Because they say so? Just some things to consider.

But that’s not the point. Ok, then, why not have just a standard nonpaid inclusion link to the url? Since inclusion supposedly has nothing to do with ranking, there’s no need to track it, right? It’s simply a way to be “in the index”. Once you’re in, nothing more needs to be tracked, eh? I realize that the pat answer is that this is just paid inclusion, nothing to see here, move along. But I feel this needs to be called into question. No?
