THE KEY:
Get listed on Fast/Alltheweb.

DIRECTORY:
The lycos directory is pretty much a copy of the Open Directory (http://dmoz.org).

SEARCH RESULTS:
At the top of the search results page you will see anywhere from one to six numbered sponsored links. The first four of these links are provided by Overture. The next two sponsored links are the top two bidders through Lycos' AdBuyer program. Below those sponsored links, you will see a bold red heading "WEB RESULTS." These are Alltheweb results. To the right of the numbered sponsored sponsored links, you may also see text box ads which look just like Google ads. These are the 3rd through the 6th top bidders through the Lycos AdBuyer program.

Buying into the AdBuyer program gets your sponsored pay-per-click links placed on both Hotbot and Lycos

If you are having trouble finding relevant information at Lycos, you may want to explore the powerful features of Lycos Advanced Search. Lycos Advanced Search is a precision tool that helps you get the most out of your Lycos Web search. The Advanced Search provides word filtering, URL and site name searching, and language querying.

Note: If you conduct a typical search from the Lycos frontdoor and would like to take advantage of the Advanced Search features on the Results page, just click the Advanced Search link at any time during your search. Any search parameters that you originally chose are entered automatically into the Advanced Search text boxes.

Our web crawler, which seeks out pages on the Web to index for search, will systematically pick up changes made to websites. However, we're not able to provide a specific time frame as to when a given page will be reindexed.

When Lycos revisits the domain and sees that the information for your old webpage is no longer up, it will remove the information from the database and the old listing will be removed. We do not manually remove URLs for the security of the URLs already in the database.
