I have a nine page website. It ranks well for its keywords and was getting there with Yahoo as well. My home page has not been crawled by Yahoo since 2/11/08 but what is more disturbing is that I was towards the top of page 3 for a while and then a couple of days ago I wound up on page 20 and I'm sticking there. I'm only white hat. I have 2 questions 1-what could have caused this? 2-Can I do anything to get Yahoo to crawl me? I have submitted 2 feeds to yahoo a sitemap.xml and a urllist.txt file Please help! Thanks
check out any web2.0 properties that are owned by yahoo such as blog, social networking or bookmarking sites. Yahoo will very likely to crawl their properties. How about you open a new thread asking what is social media site owned by yahoo.
The way I find sites that are regularly crawled by Yahoo is I do a search for a keyword relevant to my site, and look at all the top results. Most of those are regularly crawled. Generally if you gets links in to your site from other high-ranking sites, that will lead your site to be higher ranking, or if nothing else will lead your site to be crawled more.
