Yahoo takes time to visit a new website. Build some back links then there is chance for quick indexing.
Yes, Yahoo! can be a pain in the ass sometimes with new websites. Building backlinks is the best way to increase the chances of Yahoo! indexing your site. Don't forget to submit your XML sitemap to Yahoo! site exporer as well and include the sitemap auto directory directive in your robots.txt file.
yahoo indexes your few pages very early in compare to Google. But if you are having very big site. than normally yahoo takes more time for indexing all the pages.
No XML sitemaps are different. They have the extension like sitemap.xml Well there are many online XML sitemaps generators available. The one which I use is [ www.xml-sitemaps.com ] You will find step by step instructions of how to procede with the XML sitemap creation. XML sitemaps are a great way of submitting your site's content to the search engines and does help your site gets indexed fast. Thanks
No, it's called an XML Sitemap, the current sitemap standard that all major search engine follows. Robots.txt is the exclusion protocol they follow, it just has a auto discovery directive for your XML sitemap.
Hey Ssndecki, What i know, there is a txt sitemap format for Yahoo and for other search engines it's .ror format only for Google i know there is xml sitemap. and i m pretty familiar with it. can you show me one example of xml sitemap that you have submitted in yahoo site explorer and which is right now live on your website ???
I'm looking at a site for a friend of mine. He has all 38 pages indexed in google, and several backlinks show up in google, but its not even listed in yahoo. I had thought that google was the one that tooke forever to index pages and show links. Yahoo started picking up backlinks to one of my new sites in only a couple days.
i have found yahoo takes a lot more time than google as well and it does it gradually, rather than just all in 1.
How old is your site? It takes more time for Yahoo to index your site than Google. Not to talk about Live which is just ridiculous!
Pop over to yahoo answers, sign up with two different usernames, first username ask a question, then the other answer the question with your link in it. then head over to My Yahoo, add your RSS feed that has your home page and other links on there. Then pop over to Digg, Mixx, Propeller social bookmarking sites, and create a list of urls in a notepad to your site and save it as urllist.txt and save it as UTF-8 format via the encoding drop down menu when you save the file, upload it to your domain and point a link to it from your RSS feed that you submit to My Yahoo.
