They do allow you to submit your site for free with no guarantee of a listing. The link above will submit your site to the Inktomi web page database which is HotBot's partner. Submission is still free at this time. A good reason to get listed here is the size and number of other search engines and directories that feed off its contents, such as AOL and Hotbot. Remember it's a directory and all submissions are reviewed by a human.
Submission is free.
Still the same after all these years. They won't ask for your money, but they also won't make it easy for you to find the submission page either. I've made it easy for you. The king of directories no longer allows free submissions of commercial websites. Sites are reviewed within seven days with no guarantee of a listing even after they've reviewed your site.
