Total BS I have 4,560 listings for my site (www.havocarcade.com) http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=havocarcade.com&ei=utf-8&fr=ie8 and ALL I did was add my sitemap to Yahoo Explorer, and use the sitemap directive in robots.txt www.havocarcade.com/robots.txt https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit
mine was pretty fast like a couple of weeks had others take a couple of months. Mabey because it was a forum who knows.
I must say I get indexed in yahoo quite easily and quickly, I know a lot of the basics for SEO but there is always more to learn...
Create yourself a yahoo site explorer account, submit a sitemap and an RSS feed from your site. After that, Yahoo will have it indexed within a few days. Yahoo allows you to submit an RSS as a sitemap. Its an easy way to get your post updated 2 ways - through the sitemap and through the feed.
It took me 2 months for my website to get indexed by yahoo search engine. as others rightly say participating in yahoo answers will help get indexed by yahoo quickly.
Without any proper SEO, your site will not get indexed in any search engines. Atleast a minimum of 5 social bookmarking sites are must to be indexed. Choose the best ones, you will get indexed soon.
Never participated in Yahoo Answers. that is a ridiculous notion, and this whole discussion is tedious as I hear so much bad advice. You want indexing, then follow the search engine protocol for sitemaps. You dont have an xml sitemap? then generate one via google: http://code.google.com/p/sitemap-generators/ Sitemap added to webmaster, sitemap added to robots.txt via the sitemap directive. Site was indexed almost immediately by yahoo/Google/Bing/etc. I have over 4,000 listings for my site in Yahoo: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=havocarcade.com&ei=utf-8&fr=ie8 All you need do is have a xml sitemap, submit it via yahoo webmaster, then use the sitemap directive which is protocol for ALL search engines. here is how to get your site indexed by Yahoo and the other search engines: add the following to a text file (change the disallow as needed- do not "allow" as that is already default) rename it robots.txt, and upload to public_html, then do the following: THEN: You can Validate your uploaded robots.txt here: http://tool.motoricerca.info/robots-checker.phtml The added benefit to this is that you do not have to manually upload/ping your sitemap to the Major Search Engines. But If you want to ping them/submit site here are the links: Tip- If you update/change links or content you can ping the search engines and let them know. note- once you 'ping' your xml sitemap to the engines, they will usually start crawling you in 24-72 hours.
Submit your site to https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/mysites and place on your website a Badge code to track inlink. In the Badge code is seeming integrated Yahoo ping service, yahoo crawler can come back to crawl and index new page when have notifications.
YES ADD THE YAHOO VERIFICATION META TAG TO YOUR INDEX.PHP/INDEX.HTML like this: add your sitemap here: https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit BUT IT IS NOT EVEN REQUIRED TO DO THAT IF YOU USE THE SITEMAP DIRECTIVE VIA ROBOTS.TXT "AUTO DISCOVERY" I swear you people make such a simple thing so difficult... its not hard folks...
U can get indexed in yahoo in few hours ... get some good backlinks from high PR site Also submit the url and rss to yahoo
Digg is the fastest, its crawled constantly Yahoo is ok, I don't like search results updates slowish.
Our site didn't get indexed utill we built some links (we did do the sitemap, submited the site to yahoo....etc) in week 5. As soon as we got some links the site was indexed, and it ranked very high in serps (and it's still ranks very high to the day).
The popular social marking sites are a good start. Think Digg, etc. ... then move onto sites within your niche.
