I've seen slurp in and out of my site every few hours for a week already, yet when i go to yahoo.com and type in my site's name, even in quotation and even www.mysite.com it still won't show my site...what are they doing in there and taking so long to index my site? thanks in advance.
patience killar... there is no definite period, though based on experience, having a sitemap.xml and submitting it to Yahoo siteexplorer will hasten the process.
Submit a sitemap to yahoo Process is very simple Generate ror sitemap Open yahoo.com Put site:yoursite.com in search box You will see yahoo explorer Then sign in to your yahoo account Add site Authenticate your site Add sitemap Thats all Cheers It will come in search with in 2 days guaranteed Regards Alex
thanks kmap, but my sitemap file is very ugly? it has unimportant search links, i want some other ones to get indexed....if i submit the bad sitemap, will google or yahoo be able to pull out the good ones?
Yahoo Site explorer might help you, just put your URL or domain there and in the 24 hours you will see your site indexed, sometime you will got 2 days, it depends
Yup sitemap is the way to go, you should get indexed shorty afterwards although Yahoo can be funny at times!
Yahoo has been real slow with new sites. I have one over 4 months old and still not indexed (except for main page). I have been doing everything necessary. Sitemaps on site explorer, I even paid the 299 for directory inclusion. Yahoo Slurp comes by and takes a quick peek at it once a week, but that's as far as they go. I've been pinging them, singing to them and anything else I can think of. I know I've read on their blog that they have some "major change" happening so I'm hoping this is why. Anyway, I am prepared to offer Yahoo my sister if they come deep crawl!
