    I emailed them 25 different times about the same problem and have never gotten a response, this is from a site that has been listed with them for well over a year.

    Bingo............. my guess is that paid inclusion will get you indexed the way you should be.

    For those with problems, are you in the directory?

    Looks like they have messed up with all the changes. My sites dropped out of the top rankings today and no traffic at all. Could this be a server problem? all of my sites are indexed?

    Still not listed in the directory.

    When I submitted to the Y! dir, I should have added some "additional comments" in the field by that name, that asked why only 1 page of my site was indexed still after it being out there and spider-bait for months already.

    Why, its not like they look at them anymore, unless you pay and then they STILL don't have to list it.

    Like I said, sign me up for a job that pays 300 bucks a shot and you don't even really have to do anything if you don't feel like it.

    LOL, me too :D Personally, I think yahoo sucks, but that just me. It was mentioned earlier, but the best way to get your other pages indexed in yahoo is to put them in a blog or get other external links to your interior pages. Yahoo is very picky sometimes, but you should be able to get your site indexed in a reasonable time period.

    This is interesting,

    My site is quite well indexed by slurp but not by google.
    I think yahoo is more generous since my site is only 1 week old when i submitted to its engine and use rss to get it to index my page.

    After doing that rss thing and submiting, slurp came and my page get indexed in about 3 days (not all of course). It makes weekly visit, but not to all pages.

    Google have been troublesome. It is so hard to impress googlebot. Always come, visit my front page and leave. Bugger!

    Got my site listed in the big Y! directory a couple of days back.

    See if that helps Y! list more pages of my site in their index, and naturally my main keyword terms too.

    I have had the reverse probelm, I have an old site that is in the directory and this site has fallen from the first page of yahoo for my main real estate keywords. I just created a new site just a little over a week ago and this site is not in the directory but yet ranks higher than my old site for the same primary key phrase on the second page. I think I am ready to pull my hair out.

    I believe either the linking strategy is wrong or the spider is getting lost in your code. I would run your pages in a spider emulator and see what happens. Also, run you pages in html checker to see if their are any problems that would hold the spider back.

    Well, since Yahoo! dropped a lot of pages recently, who knows what kind of other problems they might have. From my own experience Yahoo! never was bad to my sites. I just checked a few and out of half dosen sites only one has 1 page indexed and all others are just fine. The "white crow" is only a few months old, but other than that I have no explanation. Also, I know when Y! bangs sites from their index - usually only the page from their directory survives, but if you don't have one - they all will be gone.

    parse the non-indexed pages into XML feed and hook them up into MyYahoo! should help. I don't suggest to create RSS/XML spam, you can have title of the page and small description like pressrelease about the new page and link goes directly to the new page. The title of the feed could be something about new info available on your site which can be easy accessed through this feed, I mean this all should make sense, not just links.

    P.S. It was working beautifully before the last Y! update when a lot of indexed pages disappeared, but still I can see its picking up pretty fast.
