Some progress with Yahoo

Interesting, today I noticed that my blog (http://weight-lifting-world.blogspot.com/) was indexed by Yahoo, but my site still isn't. Should I expect my site to be indexed soon? I have links from my blog to every page of my site.

 

Yahoo is notoriously slow for indexing pages. On the first pass they may grab a page or two, but that's usually about it. It will take months to get your site at least 3/4 indexed.

Once your site is indexed, you still need to wait a month or so for Yahoo to update their database.

Yahoo/Overture does offer their SiteMatch program, which guarantees that your site will be indexed on a regular (daily?) basis. The drawback is that you have to pay an initial fee, and then a cost per click for each of the pages that you submit to the program.

 

Can you not just use the RSS feed technique on your site. i.e. create the feed and then add it to My Yahoo.

I have done that, but Yahoo only indexed my Blog so far.

Quick question:Is it a good idea to use your blog as a news page for your website? I was thinking of publishing all the news to my blog and have a link from my site to my blog. I think it would be better because I will not crowd my homepage and it will hopefully index me in Yahoo faster.

 

I've no idea but can it hurt? Could you not have a simple rss feed on your main site as well. Like a simple news ticker or a what's new feed, but start off listing old stuff.
