Yahoo feeds

[roiei]

I have 4 feeds: xml, html, rss, txt.

What is the best?
I can put all of them (same data in any type of file) but it's recommended?


Thanks

Not really a feed, but I think this might be usefull for you.
I just did a sitemap for yahoo yesterday for one of my website.

As it turns out Yahoo wants your sitemap to be called urllist.txt (just a simple .txt file with all your urls on a new line). It's the same input field where you submit your feed.

Check:

I think you must be logged in with your yahoo account.

Hope this helps

What is the different between the page you gave and this page:
https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites

There is "Feeds" section, you can put there your feeds.

So what is the best way? using "your" page or "mine"? :confused:

If you would use mine you eventually would and up at yours.

OK, and i'll be glad if you'll answer my main question please:
Put all 4 types (xml, html, txt, rss) of feeds or just one?

Thanks :)

I am not a Yahoo authority

but based on

You can provide us a feed in the following supported formats. We do recognize files with a .gz extension as compressed files and will decompress them before parsing.

* RSS 0.9, RSS 1.0 or RSS 2.0, for example, CNN Top Stories
* Atom 0.3, for example, Yahoo! Search Blog
* A text file containing a list of URLs, each URL at the start of a new line. The filename of the URL list file must be urllist.txt; for a compressed file the name must be urllist.txt.gz.


I would use .xml and urllist.txt

I used text links for my site some times. It works well. But I think the best method to get indexed on search engine is to submit feeds.

It is better to make image feeds to index your site's images by yahoo search. All feed creation techniques are mentioned on yahoo site.
