Listing with Yahoo
It’s an age old tradition in webmastering and search engine
optimization to code your pages especially with Yahoo in mind. They
were one of the largest search engine teams that took pride in
personally inspecting each submission. But are those personal services
of the past, dead in the grave? Yahoo still claims pride in how they
submit sites to their engines. Times have changed in SEO, and much of
it caused by those annoying spam engines that go posting site after
site in the search engines mucking them up so that others cannot
actually find anything detailed that they are looking for. This is one
of the reasons that Yahoo’s personal attention made them so great. But
then came google … and it started putting Yahoo to shame. Then came the
age of selling listings, and Yahoo was quick to jump on the bandwagon
with outrageous prices that ensure that your listing can be at the top
of the page. So is it still worth registering with the engines for
free? I still believe so. Even with Yahoo. You can do so here : http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request
but remember, they do take $$ to put listings ahead of you. But I was
told ages ago, the best way to ensure a good listing with Yahoo, is to
write to them through snail mail, with your listing, so that its hand
submitted by their staff. Give it a try, you never know, might still be
the best way to go.
