Yahoo! Sitemaps -- worth the effort ?

    I was just reading some old thread mentioning Y! sitemaps. I just launched a new site that generates google sitemaps, so Yahoo sitemaps will be not that difficult to add, but my question to you Y! lovers is: is it worth the effort?

    * has anyone seen any benefits from a Y! sitemap?
    * does it exists? I need to create an account to get more info and I don't want to at this time...
    * any information - any - will be appreciated

    I haven't used Y! Site Map on many sites. Also, I haven't seen any significant increase in saturation after creating them for some of the sites.

    Take a look at http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request

    You can also provide the location of a text file containing a list of URLs, one URL per line, say urllist.txt. They also recognize compressed versions of the file, say urllist.gz.

    Not really, but I submitted anyways.

    Yes, it exists. You need a Yahoo email address and it is free to create one.

    You might want to have a look at this thread, (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=38715), where you might get some replies on sitemap.
