Hi My site has almost 12,000 links indexed in Google, but Yahoo has indexed only 2000 links & not growing at all. What I have observed that sites which have couple of hundred links indexed in Google, Thousands of links/pages indexed in Yahoo. I am wondering why my site is not being indexed in Yahoo. It is more than a year old, has good quality traffic, DMOZ listed ete etc. Please suggest. thanks
That's weird. Usually Yahoo indexing links faster than Google. Perhaps there is some attribute on your web site that preventing yahoo bot crawling on your site. Or you can resubmit your site to yahoo site explorer and re-validate.
Thanks Ilajas, In fact I had already submitted the site last month, but I don't see any improvement at all.
Did you use the free site explorer or did you set up an account? - https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites Once you setup your account, you will have to put a yahoo tracking tag in the header of your site. This verifies that the site is really yours. I dont know if yahoo auto updates the site map like google. But I log in once a month and update the feeds manually.
I have account, and I uploaded the file with authentication code. Yahoo shows that site is validated.
Actually always should be oposit and yahho updating more BL. So check it since how long yahoo not indexed and still yahoo giving a position in SERP. And also try to use yahoo webmaster tool http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com
I have tried everything suggested above but for some reason my site is not getting indexed in Yahoo. Can anyone help please. thanks
