If you're having trouble with getting indexed by YahooIf you're having trouble with getting indexed by Yahoo, check out these tips direct from the horse's mouth (Yahoo):http://pages.ivillage.com/qebbs/ebookconnection © Copyright Eugenia Bivines 2004 Subject: Re: MarketPosition Newsletter - July 2000 Brent Winters, I really like your input about what YAHOO! is looking for when they review a site for inclusion into their directory. YAHOO! looks for complete business addressing information. You would be sur- prised (or maybe not) ; how many commercial sites will not list their business address. That is always one of the marketing tips I give. Add that address. Please see below letter from YAHOO!: The URL you submitted was not added to Yahoo!. We do not list every site suggested to the directory. Instead, we favor listing sites that provide Yahoo! users with robust content and information. In the spirit of constructive feedback, here is a list of reasons why we usually decline certain sites: The site has broken graphics and images. The site provides no new information or content. (For example, it is merely a set of links.) The site presents inadequate or vague information, (making it difficult for us to understand what it represents, or what it is offering.) The site is no more than a business card listing. (For example, it contains nothing but a few sentences, an address and a phone number.) The site only offers content readily available from other sources. (In other words, it contains no unique content.) The site uses applets and other features that slow down functionality and ease of use. In all likelihood, your site is described by at least one of the above. Web users are quickly turned off by underdeveloped sites. This reflects poorly not only on the individual site, but on Yahoo! as well. Keep in mind that we are not telling you to change your site. However, if you do decide to redesign or reorganize, please feel free to suggest the site again. Finally, please note that any judgment we make about your site is based solely on the individual site. We do not compare Web listings, and instead review them on their merits, on a case by case basis. Thanks for your time, The Yahoo! Editorial Team ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Article End ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With all that said; This is how I got TEC The E-Book Connection listed in YAHOOs' directory: First: I signed up for a free email account. Second: I joined 1-5 groups of interest. Third: I posted to these groups. Fourth: I submitted my website to a manual free submit service. While I was there I noticed a link to list get listed in YAHOO. The Fifth: and most important Step to do: Go to All The Web submit main site. At the bottom of the page there's a link to YAHOO. Submit your site using this link. You will then be taken to yahoos' sign in page. Login. Submit url. You will bypass the catagory selection process; which is a major pain. You should see a confirmation; check your listing in 6-8 weeks. If you noticed I said Yahoo youwill bypass the catagory selection process. Well I guess from your usage of there services. They select for you. © Copyright, Eugenia Bivines 2004 Many thanks for forwarding this e-mail goes to: Carla Ackley http://www.classichits.com http://proxy-mail.mailcity.lycos.com/bin/redirector.cgi?http://www.classichits.com> Search Engine Registration, Positioning & Classified Ad Placement' HotBot Mixes in Open Directory Listings
