Paid Submission
=Rather than wait for the search engines to find their site,
the site owners pay to have the site evaluated.
There is usually no guarantee of a listing with paid submission.


Paid Inclusion
=Normally a search engine will list only the home page of a web site.
With paid inclusion, the engine will delve(=research) more deeply into a site
and list other pages in additional categories.
[also referred to as a "deep" listing..]


Paid Placement
=This is a simple pay-for-position arrangement.
[referred to as "featured listings"(=sponsored listings)..]


Content Deals

on just the subject you're searching in Yahoo or Lycos.
