 Submitting
Optimized Web Pages to Yahoo Directory
Why Yahoo?
In the General
Web Page Optimization Guidelines section we briefly
touched on the subject of the Yahoo Directory. Yahoo actually
stands for Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle.
Yahoo searches are often considered better not because they
are more comprehensive but because all web sites listed are
human-screened so the results are entirely relevant. Getting
your web site listed in Yahoo is essential for serious web
page optimization. Regardless of the fact that Yahoo uses
Google's results (for the time being until they use Inktomi)
your web site will be listed in Yahoo's independent directory
and that will only help the rankings of your optimized web
pages.
The charge to Submit to Yahoo is $299 annually,
with no guarantee you will actually be listed. So what happens
if they decline your submission? Well your out $299 and if
you are accepted your are charged the annual fee of $299 to
keep your listing. The benefits of having your rankings increase
in Google and Inktomi by the sole presence of your site in
the Yahoo directory is well worth the money if your budget
allows for it.
READ
THIS before you Submit to Yahoo Directory!
The only thing possibly worse than being
declined to be in the Yahoo Directory is being accepted with
a poor description. You'll want to prepare your application
carefully since it's a one shot deal. Your going to need:
1. Your URL
2. Your Title (an excellent title)
3. Your Description (an excellent description)
Yahoo reserves the right to edit and place your site as their
editors see fit, no special consideration. They include all
of the regulations and requirements on their Yahoo
Request a Listing Page.
