With all the above, Lycos is tough engine to understand. It says one thing on their submission pages and then acts entirely different when it indexes your site. Their indexing method from their own spider has remained constant, but indexing is haphazard. What works on one page, wont work on another. There seems to be little rhyme or reason to its actions.

Lycos has sunk to the level of installing lycos side search with spyware and adware. Thus for the majority of people they don't actually have a choice whether they want this crap installed or not!

Lycos has now switched to only one algo. The method/index system formerly known as Lycos Pro is now the only indexer that Lycos uses. The old full site indexer is history. The newer Lycos Pro model works on a page-by-page basis. If you get a decent ranking on Lycos, leave it alone.

Lycos will continue to accept free site submissions, but would not promise to include those sites or guarantee when they will be included. Inclusion could take up to six weeks, Wilde said.
