Hi,
It's been a while since I immersed myself in the murky waters of SEO, so forgive me if I'm a little rusty.
I am considering using Overture's Sitematch, which for $49 and $0.15 per click I can guarantee that my site will get spidered every 48 hrs? Is that about the long and the short of it? My main aim is to improve my ranking on MSN / Yahoo. Will using Sitematch achieve this, or am I better keeping my money in my pocket, and concentrating on the basics of site optimisation.

Paying $45 per page will NOT get you a ranking! It only gets your sites submitted page(s) crawled!

Don't do it, you will only be wasting your money. I did it for my site and it did not work. I even tried coping the text from the top three sites and it still did not work.
It actually will cost $100 to open account, $50 deposit and $50 review the first page and then 2-11 pages like $30 or something and then after the 11th page it's much cheaper.

Dear Gais---if your site is optimized with good back links by submiting to Sitematch will help. 2 weeks ago, I submitted total 3 pages which were ranked only on page 5. After submitting once they were crawled they were all on #5 and staying there for the searches. Another interesting thing I noticed, my domain is under Yahoo! directory and you all know how the editors assigna site title, if you submit to sitematch your original title will show up again. SO, if you can afford the cost and you can justify it, you can submit and watch. Once you do not add money to your account it will just simply stop indexing every 48 hours.

"Once you do not add money to your account it will just simply stop indexing every 48 hours."
It sounds like what Alzo is saying means that you can get the entire site indexed by Yahoo once you ante up the initial fees, and that stopping payment to Yahoo after an index will not affect the current listings, but that they simply won't be updated. Is that correct??? Can other folks weigh in on this who have done that? My instinct tells me that of course once you stop paying Yahoo that your site would disappear faster than you can say "..."! Anybody know?

stop paying and you will be removed and placed on a do not index list!

Anybody know this for a fact? I'm not asking because I don't believe it, but because it looks like this very thing might have happened to a site I'm doing.
Can anyone else confirm that they've experienced this? We stopped paying, or rather let the money run out, now we suddenly dropped out of the natural serps, for no apparent reason, however the money ran out I think in september, seems like a long lag before getting dropped out of serps. But who knows with yahoo, it's too hard to tell.
Trying to determine if dropping sitematch caused the problem, or if we need to look elsewhere, no major changes have been done, just little stuff here and there, nothing to warrant dropping 210 positions overnight though.
