Overview: Canada.com is a medium/large scale search engine which is targeted to Canadian users

Canada.com originally launched their newly re-designed site in mid-1999 and has grown to become a strong portal for Canadian users. Delivering nearly 68 million impressions per month to an audience of 3.5 million users, this portal is a valuable resource to address the Canadian market. Furthermore, Canada.com is powered on the Inktomi engine for their search database and therefore bears many of the same characteristics in getting your site listed as Hotbot (another Inktomi powered search engine). In addition to a search engine, Canada.com provides news, sports and weather addressed to the Canadian market.

Insider Tips	Canada.com is powered on the Inktomi engine, which also provides results for Hotbot, secondary results for GoTo and quite a few other search engines. This has the benefit that your site will appear on all the partnering websites as well once your site is indexed. However, most other partner sites such as Hotbot require 4-8 weeks to get listed. Submitting your website through Canada.com will get your site listed in about 2 weeks and will also get your site indexed on all partnering search engines, making it quite a large time saver when submitting your site.
