Yahoo Submit Your Site Broken?

[JohnGalt]

All day I've been trying to submit using:

http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request

But I just get a message saying:

"The following resulted when trying to access your document: timeout"

I tried submitting both URLs and a .txt feed, same thing with both.

Anyone else seeing this?

I have experienced the same problem.
Have you submitted a large file? How much is?
Try to split the the .txt file or better, make a gzip archive and then resubmit the small one (<100Kb).

Maybe you will have luck.

I will come back with other helpfull informations about this subject if you will not succeed.

Nah - it was a .txt file with just one url in it, so that's not it, but thanks.

Here's one tip:

try naming your file urllist.txt.gz ;)

Hope it helps. It's the unofficial answer from yahoo. Let me know if it worked

This has been an ongoing issue with the site submit. I experienced the same thing about 5 months ago, and then it happened again last week. It seems like it gives that message when there is a load on there servers. If you keep trying every 4-5 hours it will eventually work. Unfortunate, but true.

Thanks! Glad to hear it's not just me going nuts...I will warm up my clicking finger and go to it.
