You should go to submit page at http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html you are allowed to submit if you have an account on yahoo!
If only the homepage of your site is indexed, it could be that it's banned from the yahoo's index. --Joe
Have an RSS feed that has links to your internal pages and submit this rss feeds to various directories and have link on the index page as well. This helps in getting deep links and will definitely boost your rankings in all SE. NOT TRUE!
A site map helped me a lot. I went from 7 pages indexed, to over 1000. Only a couple dozen are in SERPs, but it's a good start. Thumbs up to the sitemap.
Does Yahoo pick up sitemap.xml automatically? Or do you have to submit it like in Google? [Update] - Strike that, I found it didn't realize sitemap.xml could be considered a feed.
I don't care about yahoo, it doesn't bring too much traffic for me. Google brings more traffic to me, and the ratio between google and yahoo will be 10:1.
You can use online tools like http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ for that.. check about it at https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit You can submit.. for creating text file from your local system, run the following DOS command. (direct to the folder where your site exits eg: d:\mysite1> This will give a list of files in urllist.txt.. Do find and replace , make it proper URL's. Remove unwanted files (css , images etc).. Sitemap is ready.
You should not have to submit a sitemap(xml). Requirement of sitemap(xml) shows that there is a problem with your site and not enough intra-linking is happening on your site. Instead, create a on-page sitemap(html page) that helps user navigate across your site and this will also boost your indexed pages.
Definitely use a sitemap for all your pages which helps across the board. I would also utilize some of the popular social bookmarking Web 2.0 sites to draw attention to your internal pages that are not getting indexed. I agree to the earlier post that you focus on on-page optimization strategies for each of the non-indexed pages as well. Make sure that each of your pages has a different Title. I know that seems really basic but often times than not I see people create their pages doing a "save as" command and never change the title of each page. I would definitely aslo look at my internal linking structure to make sure that all your pages have a way in and out. Search engines like to crawl through a site not just get stuck in one. If you don't show a natural flow between pages then that could be hurting you too. This again my sound too basic but I would just cover all my basis at this point. Submit the pages individually to the search engines too. You don't have to do it too many times. I have found once is enough and then just get some decent back links. You can find some free backlinks from other sites just by doing a search in Google for your keyword and then type in the words submit URL. In other words if my site niche/market was yoga then I would type into Google: yoga submit URL or you can type in yoga add URL and you will be amazed at how many sites out there will let you add your pages to their Links page or Resources pages which in turn gives you some backlinks. There is plenty of software that does a nice job of this too.
