    I'm almost certain Yahoo accepts plain text files containing a URL on each individual line.

    A good tool to extract the links from your website is:
    http://www.auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp

    You can create sitemaps for both Google and Yahoo using these sitemap generator.

    It's a good way to ensure your website gets fully indexed on the search engines.

    Just a fast comment... There many excellent 3rd party Google (and Yahoo) sitemap generator tools out there :)

    I see no inherent reason why Google should be best... It is, afterall, a completely open format :)

    Yahoo takes a plain text file with each url being on a separate line. You can submit your file here (account needed)

    https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.src=srch&.done=http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request

    Cheers,

    Dave

    No.. Yahoo requires a plain text file (not an xml) with URL's, once per line.

    Use this software to automatically generate Google (sitemap.xml) and Yahoo (urllist.txt) sitemaps.
