Hi everyone, I am new to this. But I really need help. I submitted my site to google and yahoo about 3 weeks ago. Now I can find my homepage on googe, but not yahoo. Anyone knows if it takes longer time for yahoo to add a site than google? I would very appreciate your help. Thank You.
No one can tell the eactly time. However, yahoo normally index slower than google. Dont worry about that, focus on your website and SEO, your website will be listed in future
You should add the urllist.txt sitemap for yahoo - though it is not strictly needed. It really helps with indexing with yahoo.
There is no exact timing for anything in the cyberworld. Once you start gaining backlinks your site will be indexed. Do some onpage SEO to help your site (meta tags etc). Good luck.
Yahoo is a well known for slow website indexing, even a site with high link building profile. I would recommend you keep update your content, plus get your site verified via Yahoo Siteexplorer, similar to Google Webmaster Tools. It could help a little bit.
It does take a while to be indexed by yahoo their bots are slower to crawl through websites and have it indexed. Miy site took up to 4 months but i wouldn't worry about it too much just focus on working on your own website
from my experience it takes forever for yahoo to index new pages and websites. I just don't understand what the crawlers do on the website as yahoo crawlers spend much more time on my website than google but what for?
It could take a while, could be days, weeks or months. Just submit your sitemap and do some social bookmarking and concentrate on SEO, you will soon see results.
