  • Answer:

    This may not make much sense but adding a URL in this way is really counter to how search engines rank sites. The primary method of determining relevancy is by the quality and quantity of links to your site. This is also how search engines prefer to find new pages, links from existing pages in their index. So if you are having to submit your site manually it means that you really need to work on getting links to your company from other trusted and authoritative sites within your industry.

The most effective way of adding your url to Yahoo, especially if Google has already indexed you is to use an xml or a text sitemap. If you've submitted your url to Google via the add form check to see if Google has indexed your site by going to google.com and putting "site:yourdomainname.com" (leave out the quotation marks) in the search box. This will let you know what parts of your site are indexed, i.e. available as results, in Google. It's a pretty good chance that if you have been accepted for inclusion and found in Google, Yahoo is not far behind.

here's the URL without the spam. http://submit.search.yahoo.com/ added info: the SEO industry has generally agreed that XML sitemaps are not a good idea. The only time they are helpful is when your site cannot be crawled easily through other methods. Text sitemaps, as the other answer eluded to, are almost always a good idea. Just make sure they DO NOT appear on every page of the site and that the link text is a good match for the linked-pages' topic. In all cases, natural crawling is better. if you have to "force" your way into a search engine something is wrong. As i've mentioned on many answers, getting inbound linkages from high quality sites and blogs will set you off on the right foot, especially if you can set up your anchor text on the linking site to match your primary keyword goals.
