Get better listings on Yahoo by authenticating your site!

    I read in another forum the other day about one of Yahoo's site explorer features, the authenticate site feature, this guy on this other forum said that he authenticated his site and then his listings increased, so I thought it must be worth ago, I did this like three days ago and already my positions on Yahoo have began to increase and I have found that on Yahoo.com I am now getting positions with some of the sub-pages of my website, this has never happened before, I strongley recommend that you do this. Here is the URL.

    Thanks for the tip! I get a lot of traffic from sub pages already but hopefully this will get me some more.

    Might be worth a try. I was wondering about that new stuff in Yahoo. Time to give it a try.

    You mean this helps you getting indexed or does it actually improve the serps?
    I used the feature a few days ago as well but I do not see any changes as of yet.

    The tool is for your benefit. It doesn't rtesult in better indexing or search ranking from what I understand.

    I've done this with every site and it seems to make traffic jump a bit in the days that follow. Nothing substantial, but it has never seemed to hurt.

    I gave it a shot ... but I really don't think it will end up doing anything for me in the serps.

    However, thanks for heads-up. I didn't know that validation existed.

    This is a good tool for Yahoo submitters. It is an attempt by Yahoo to match the Google's site submission and tracking tools.

    I didn't know it existed either.

    I may as well jump on the bandwagon and give it a try too ;)



    EDIT: done. We'll see what happens

    I started using site explorer a few months ago. I didn't notice any real jump in the serps. Interested in hearing what others are experiencing though. I agree every little bit helps and it is very simple to setup, especially if you are using a sitemap.xml or rss feed.

    What the heck - I will try it and see what happens. I only found site explorer the other day (duh! on my part).

    I too have noticed an increase in SERPs, before I even found this thread. It's interesting, but I think it has something to do with Yahoo!'s forecast change and not just authenticating in explorer. ;)

    I have submitted my site. They show the non http version of the domain as a subdomain.. wondering if there is any duplicate content penalty.. also the number of links they show for the domain and subdomain seems to not equal what they give you when you follow the link. Thanks for the tip.
