Does the spidering play the descisive roll into paving your way back into Yahoo or must it be human intervention? In other words does one have to contact Yahoo on a personal level to be reincluded or is the process more automated?

I did try emailing months ago for a review and received a cryptic message back inferring that I was up to trickery. The index page did come back but nothing else in the regular search index. It took me awhile to figure it out but I believe it may be that my site was very heavily linked internally - all pages crossed to all the other pages within the site - many not relevant to the other. It's the only thing I can see that caused a removal from the index.

I should also mention I have a number of pages that were chosen by Yahoo over the last 5 years that are listed in the directory. I also did pay for fast Inktomi inclusion for a few pages in days gone by.
