    How I can get my wordpress blogs posts indexed in Yahoo? Yahoo just indexed my home page. Also I've submitted my blog feed to Y! site explorer and verified that I'm the owner of my blog.
    P.S: My blog is self-hosted.

    Generally any searech engeen takes time to indexing pages. They index the home page first. How long you have submitted your blog in yahoo? If it is only for 1/2 month, weight few days, your other pages will be add in yahoo step by step.

    if you can get links from other sites to those inner pages you will get them indexed much faster.

    try posting on yahoo answers with links back to your blog, hopefully yahoo will notice your site then, just make sure they are relevant posts you put you link on and dont spam yahoo answers.

    Thanks guys,
    why yahoo does not accept site map? For google, I always enter site map URL in webmaster panel. I wonder if yahoo has something like that.

    Like the others have said, getting links to your site seem to be the key thing.

    You can look on wordpress.org for a sitemaps plugin. There are a few and most will generate a sitemap compatible with Yahoo as well as Google and Live. Once you have that set up go to yahoo and sign up for their webmaster tools and submit your sitemap. That should help you get indexed a bit fast but as previously mentioned it takes time.

    You should also make sure that your site navigation is well thought out and that each page and post has proper meta tags and keywords. The better it looks to the search engines the faster and more often they will come back.

    Write some content, get some links to your blog and have a bit of patience. My experience says that Yahoo are very slow compared to Google.

    I second this, writing content is always a good way to get indexed on any search engine.

    If you write well and write often the engines will find you. It takes about one week to a couple of days to get indexed in Google if your blog is informative enough. I dont really use yahoo so I have never checked it out

    More backlinks will definitely help to get your site better indexed by Yahoo.
    In my personal experience Yahoo index even more content than Google which is picky sometimes.

    I've found that the fastest, most effective method of getting your site indexed by a search engine is to tell them about it. Each one supplies a method by which you can quickly and easily submit your sites URL.

    Good Luck!

    If your blogs are indexed by Google then I'm pretty sure that Yahoo will index them too?
