Yahoo will deep crawl your site without paid inclusion. Don't waste the money.

Here's what you do instead.

It basically works on the idea of creating a specific blog account with Blogger.com and then pinging the yahoo news server. That then sends the signal to the search engines to head over to the blog which then goes on to your site and deep crawls every page.

Remember: This will just get you listed. Where you fall in the ranks depends on your web optimization skills.

If you have any questions just contact me.

Wow, thanx. And all i need to do is give you my name and my email address? What a bargain.

Good luck to you, but it doesn't really appeal to myself.

You do not even have to set up a blog to get listed in Yahoo. Simply submit to some of the top directories or if you have a site or set of sites that are already crawled daily by Yahoo and other engines, list the site you want included there and Yahoo will find it without any problems.

We typically add a new site to our client list or press release section and it is picked up by all the engines in no time at all.

It's not true that Yahoo will automatically spider your site. One of my clients has over 200 pages in google and msn indexes yet yahoo shows ONLY their home page for a site: query. No dynamic URL parameters or anything like that.

Yahoo, MSN and Google all do a pretty decent indexing job however not in the same speed. So sometimes you will see pages in Google that has not yet made it into Yahoo. But, they basically do index many of the same sites and pages - dynamic as well as static pages.

No, no not in this case! The site in question has been showing only one page in Yahoo's index for several months! Their site was also recently dropped from the Yahoo directory and I can't get it back in because no one here or at the client knows who set up the initial listing.

This site has HUNDREDS of backlinks and has had them for years.

Is this some way of blackmailing people to pay for Site Match???

Not true - normally it may suffice, but Yahoo! does apparently have a history of problems with redirects.
