In May of this year, I added an online store as a subdomain. Google and MSN have indexed the subdomain and showing results. I haven't received any SERP's from Yahoo for the subdomain. Any suggestions on how to get the subdomain in Yahoo? Thanks.
Have you tried a "site:subdomain.domain.com" search in Yahoo ? Have they indexed your subdomain ? I have several subdomains indexed by them and I didn't do anything special to get them crawled, but I don't know where, or whether, they rank in Yahoo because I don't check. They send me such an insignificant percentage of traffic to all my sites that I never bother tracking how they rank.
Just checked and a whopping 4190 are in Yahoo. Weird because I get no rankings from Yahoo on these pages. Yahoo is small percentage of my traffic, but with all the Google dance crap, I figured I'd better see what I can do to increase any Yahoo/MSN rankings. -Chris
Post the url and maybe someone can take a look. FYI - if the pages are heavy with javascript, asp or the likes, this could be an issue - Y! doesn't play nice with these.
I know what you mean, but I guess it depends where you are in the world. Recent studies show that about 70% of UK searches are done on Google, and only 7% on MSN and less on Yahoo. Which means that if Google keeps the results that I'm seeing at the moment, I'm completely boned No point worrying yet though, let the dust settle first
Yes, Yahoo definitely indexes sub's - many of mine get better ranking than my main site and bring in a good chunk of traffic, but again, if they're heavy with scripts, they (Yahoo) tends to "overlook" them as they've not perfected getting around them as good as Google.
