Getting listed in Yahoo
I've been asked before how to get listed in Yahoo. I learned these tips from hits and misses with the sites I've submitted. The keys to getting listed in Yahoo are the following:
1. Correct META tag: What's a META tag? It's part of HTML, and you may not be able to insert it properly with an editor. You'll need to change the information below to suit your page, but if it's anywhere other than shown here, Yahoo will not list you. Here is an example of a META tag:
<html>
<head>
<title> Generic Titanic Page </title>
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="titanic, kate, winslet, leonardo, dicaprio,
james, cameron, 1997, movie, film, ship"><META NAME="description" CONTENT="A
Titanic site like all others.Generic."><META NAME="author" CONTENT="My
Name">
</head>
<body>
[The content for your page goes here.]
</body>
</html>
2. Don't include numbers or words like "official" or "best" in your descriptions.
3. Spell everything correctly
4. Be patient! Yahoo can take over 3 weeks to get you listed. So, don't submit your URL and check the next day if you're listed. When you're listed, they email you.
We all know how great a listing in Yahoo is for a Titanic site. When someone wants to find you, they'll most likely go to Yahoo first. But don't forget other search engines. Yahoo is the pickiest, so if you get in there, you'll have no problems elsewhere. Services like addme.com and others will help you through the process of submitting your site to several, but they won't always tell you what I learned from numerous tries.
Good luck!
