    Hi I have a small site which I am developing based on my little knowledge.
    I want to submit my site to yahoo directory, though I don't have a separate domain. I have hosted in a free web hosting service.

    Will I be able to submit my site??
    And what is the procedure. People say that I should have a site map and I do not know how to create one.

    Can you help me in submitting my site to yahoo directory??

    A sitemap is not necessary

    Hello,

    I think it would be better if you make a blog and the get a cheap domain name like a .info for about $3 and then point it to your blog. I personally think this is better than setting yourself up in a free web hosting.

    Otherwise, to submit to yahoo, go http://search.yahoo.com/ then you will find underneath in samll letters submit your site. there you can submit the url of your site.

    hope that helps.

    It's $299 pr year to have your site listed in the yahoo directory, it's not worth the price.

    I agree with Lilirose808's comment but would take it a bit further. If you are using free hosting then instead of that, setup a Wordpress 2.7 blog on a domain of your own. Total investment $3 a year if its a dot info. Google absolutely loves WP7 and so they should, as its a sensational platform for your online real estate to be parked on.

    It is depend on its purpose. If its purpose to make links and visitors by using free site, you don't need submit to yahoo directory. use others method like i do. Most of my site or blog is free web and it has good position on SERP and visitor.

    Social network, social bookmark, forum are some methods I use
