Yahoo's free website submission

[PixelStreamed]

About two months ago I came across a page in Yahoo that lets webmasters submit their site for free to Yahoo's search index (not the directory). Anyone have the link to this page? I can't seem to find it anymore.

Just thought I'd throw this in but IMO the best way to get Yahoo to index your site is to either get it listed in a directory such as DMOZ, Joe Ant, etc. or list the site on another site that is already indexed and crawled regularly by Yahoo.

For example when we either launch a new site or a new SEM campaign for a new site, we will place a link to the site in our portfolio, client list, latest news section, etc., and because a few of our sites get spidered daily, the new site gets picked up very quickly.

Hehehehe. That reminds me of a project a couple years ago. The client refused our advice at pretty much every turn and we ended up producing a web site that we were not proud of at all (despite the fact they thought it was wonderful). A month or two later they asked us to add the site to our portfolio to help G and the other SEs find the site. We had to refuse. "We only put our best work in our portfolio."

OUCH...are they still a client?

if I were a betting man...

Much to our own surprise, yes. :) And we had a meeting with them a month or so ago to discuss a site redesign/upgrade and making the site more SE-friendly, and there was a tiny bit of pleasure as we reminded them that they refused most of our advice last time around. The new project hasn't begun yet, so we'll see if things go better this time.... I suspect they will.

To find all the pages Google has on a site (approximately), you do a search for "allinurl: xxxx.com" What do you use to do the same thing in Yahoo's new search engine? Or where should I look for that information? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
