Yahoo Slurps me, but not showing up?

Discussion in 'Yahoo' started by gford, May 1, 2005.

    Hello,

    I have noticed Yahoo Slurp having fun on my site, but I still (after 10 weeks) only have 2 pages indexed at yahoo. Meanwhile google is 24,000+ and msn 8000+.

    I wonder what yahoo is putting its nasty tongue all over if it's not going to index it? :p

    It took my site over a year to have more than one page indexed, but now I've got over 236,000 all ranking high. Takes forever, but now Y! never leaves.
    I think it might help to get into the directory (I'm not in yet)

    I just can't see myself maying 299/year just to speed up index time.

    What about their other pay-search systems? anyone done those to get in quicker?

    How long ago was this? Two sites that I made in November were indexed with in a few months while Google and MSN havn't indexed them! Last week I made four new sites and Yahoo has crawled one of them, so hopefully with in a month or two I'll have an update on how long it takes now.

    Yep, my sites get right into google/msn within 1 week or less. Yahoo is going since February 20th for my oldest site (see how newbie I am) with 2 pages in, but it slurps the site constantly.

    i've had pretty bad experiences with yahoo myself. it took forever (almost a year) for it to index my 17k pages. and still i am seeing only 3% of my SE traffic coming from yahoo while google is bringing 94% of my SE traffic.

    It was just recently (about a month ago) that all of my pages got indexed by Yahoo. Do you guys think that me not tanking well with them is just a matter of time and i am about to see the increase in traffic (due to the jump in the number of pages indexed)?

    I've noticed yahoo visits my site almost daily but doesn't crawl past the first page. I have one page indexed by yahoo and about 50 backlinks.
